This 1965 Citroen 2CV was reportedly sold new in France, and its acquisition in 2017, subsequent refurbishment by L’Atelier de la 2CV of Grasse, France, and importation to the US that same year was commissioned by the seller. Finished in Vert Embrun with a black retractable roof panel over striped fabric upholstery, the car is powered by an air-cooled 425cc flat-twin paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Maintenance in 2018 included replacement of the battery as well as adjustments to the clutch, brakes, and valves.
The car was repainted its current shade of Vert Embrun (AC511) during the refurbishment, one of multiple shades offered by Citroen for the 1965 model year. Exterior features include a retractable black roof panel, gray and black-painted bumpers, front turn signal indicators, and French license plates.
Cream-painted 15” steel wheels are mounted with 135-width Toyo 310 tires that show 2017 date codes. A full-size spare is found in the rear storage area, and the brakes were adjusted in 2018.
The cabin features two rows of bench seats trimmed in striped fabric with black door panels and carpets. Front shoulder belts and rear lap belts were added during the refurbishment.
A white two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-km/h speedometer, a fuel level display, and a series of warning lights. The five-digit odometer shows just over 600 kilometers (~400 miles).
The air-cooled 425cc flat-twin features a single carburetor and sends power to the front wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle with both centrifugal and standard clutches. The seller states that a fuel leak was repaired in 2018 by PWK Import-Export of Belmont, California, and additional work at that time included replacements of the battery and spark plugs, an oil change, and adjustments to the valves and clutch.
