Last month my dad was driving his beautiful white 2CV in the French countryside. A white Tesla was behind and passed us in a breeze. The smile in the faces of people when they see a 2CV is priceless. Anyhow, for fun my father started to accelerate and pushed this sweet little car to a roaring 100km/h (62mph) and we passed back the Tesla.💪🏻😳 The little 2CV was squeaking but regain her historic place on the French roads and in our hearts… rightfully in front.❤

Long long ago, I drove a 2CV on a 5-day road trip in the Mediterranean regions. The 1st hour was a big driver adjustment. But after 4 hours, I was amazed by the ride, stability, and mechano- everything in this car. It was verrrry slow on the highway, but simply the greatest for the rough and very narrow roads in villages. The roll was very great, but also much fun. After 5 days, I loved this car. It was perfect for the med climate and road conditions. It enabled exploration of villages I would not have ventured in a pricey car. Slow going with top rolled back on perfect sunny days, soaking in ambience, flavours, sights, gave the trip of a lifetime. I was so sad when the trip ended.

This video made me very happy. My first car was a white and grey 2CV Dolly. I always refer to it as 602cc of throbbing power. It is to this day the most fun car that I have ever owned. The first day that I owned it, to get used to it, I drove my friends Dave and Mark around the country pubs of Berkshire with the roof rolled back. As they got slightly merry on the local beers, I got sunburn on my forehead. The 2CV, at least my one :-), definitely did more than 80 mph. Down hill of course. In 1995 I traveled north to Scotland to spend Christmas with my mother. On the M6 motorway, on the long downhill Shap Fell section, I overtook several other cars, the needle on the speedo was firmly stuck against the stop on the speedometer. I looked to the side as I overtook one car and saw the horror in the drivers face as he saw me overtaking him. If anything had gone wrong I would have died :-) I am sill here.

@CaptainKrimson 3 года назад

A few details: the later models had 602cc's. The openings into the front wings are not to suck in fresh air but to push out hot air. The chassis of this car is an aftermarket chassis, not a Citroën one. The original chassis has a very different construction.

@paulscountrygarage9180 3 года назад

I’ve just watched this video and, whilst I loved it, you have mentioned the major inaccuracies I also noticed. I would also add that the suspension cylinders actually contain 2 coil springs on each side....one for each wheel. I have an English market, here is Australia, RHD Dyane.

@rolandleusden 3 года назад

In Netherlands you can get original chassis new, as some people purchased all the tools from Citroen when they stopped making them. All parts including refurbished engines and gearboxes are available as well. The 652cc upgrade with proper carburator jetting makes it easy to keep up with modern traffic.

Great video. I have owned three 2CVs and I'm looking forward to buying another in a few years time, once I have finished restoring my house. I can confirm everything that Sam Smith says about the car. Each of mine disintegrated because of rust, but mechanically they were in good order. Starting can be a problem: you need to change the spark plug leads every year, and maybe keep a spare coil handy. Here in France many 2CV owners have installed electronic ignition which solves a lot of problems. The only criticism of this video is about the last minutes: my guess is that Sam had forgotten to push the choke all the way back home once the engine had got well started. The choke is almost out of sight down in the corner, so easy to forget about. The engine does not like to be driven with such a rich mixture. I have made this mistake many times, but always managed to correct it, and never needed to push the car along the road. I've driven them in all sorts of weather, including torrential rain, and heavy snow, and they always got me home. Driving a 2CV is a source of pure joy: like sailing on tarmac, or camping in wheels. C'est vraiment génial!

@velipekkavahvanen2134 3 года назад

- Under fenders is engine cooling air exhaust - Coil is there, because it keeps cool there - Inboard brakes because front suspension arms are hinged at rear. With outboard brakes braking action would force nose up, and front wheels to rotate under the car. - The suspension pots under the car have two springs inside them. One to front wheel, and one to rear. The pot itself is also suspended with rubber cones at each end. The idea is that 2cv does not have roll bars that limit leaning side to side, but has these additional rubber springs that enhance leaning front to aft. It's genious!

I have always wanted one. I met two French girls in Corfu in 1970 and I fell in love with their car. Before that, there was a Citroën and a Volkswagon dealers on Burrard Street nearly next to each other in downtown Vancouver. The 2CV was $1600 and the VW Bug was $2400. I may never own a 2CV but I can dream. I did own a '57 VW in the mid '70s which cost me $50. I managed to keep it alive for quite a while until it was condemned and then I sold it for $50. 2CV were always rare birds here in the Great White North.

Am not so sure I like this review. Had a few of these in my life from 12.5hp to 16hp and then I maxed out at 23hp with a yellow 2CV 4 Special. The 2CV6 with 29hp is a race car, you just need to know how to drive her and keep up the momentum. Important missing points in this review: the soft top, the tool-less removable doors and hood and boot. It becomes the most capable "thing" carrier in seconds. It needs to be said that the rear bench and the front seats can be taken out in an instant without tools so you can always enjoy the best seat watching the stars or the campfire. There is also no mention of the cooling flap, not something present in many cars. And its off-road and snow capabilities. And the presence of the hand crank. The most important tool when in deep trouble. The 2CV is so versatile and practical, there was no real need to invent another car. Could it be engineered today? No, not even by the French. This thing somehow "just happened".

I have owned my Charleston 2CV for 30 years! I LOVE this car!!! What the driver says about this super little vehicle is true. It gets many "smile per mile". If you own one you must be prepared to answer a boatload of questions any time you stop. NO matter if it is a stoplight or lunch under a shade tree, you are sometimes deluged with onlookers with questions. To help me cope with the questions I designed a one page description with humor to hand out to those that express interest . However, for me, it is a sad day. Due to health I cannot drive safely and must sell my baby. It only has 18,000 miles on him! Someone will be a happy camper.

I’ve watched numerous videos about the 2CV recently, and have gone from being barely aware of their existence, to becoming a fan of them; what an amazing, cool little car! And (in my humble opinion) the things their suspension system allows them to do far surpasses even the Lincolns with their pillowy ride over harsh bumps!

As an Argentine-American, I had the privilege of growing up in a place that actually built those pretty things. Well, they made the 3CV (but that would fit into splitting hairs).

The thing we all did as kids there was to walk up to one and grab the front bumper and just push up and down (it would go up and down what seemed like two feet of travel. ) memories...

@citroenfan8930 Год назад

Know this a late, late reply - but Burton Industries (England) does have an 'upgrade' kit that increases capacity to 652cc's and a 9.0:1 compression ratio. French Parts Service (Seattle, WA) carries then here for the US Market. We have an 85 Charleston and along with our other Cits (V6 XM and two D's) still love that little beast - even for long drives.

@Birdynmnm 5 месяцев назад

652cc is indeed available a an upgrade kit as such to the 2cv’s, however the “real” 652 engine was the very last version of this type of engine. It had numerous new updates, like 3 bearings in the crankshaft instead of two, and other equally big changes, like sensors, electronics, cylinder ribs and cooling, mountingplate. It could be installed on the 2cv if someone wanted the upgraded engine type, but some machining would be needed. Was not availble for the 2cv, but for later models using the 2cv engine type and those where LN & Oltsit, Axel and the Visa, and btw those the engine had some differences, e.g. Inboard brakes where not possible to mount on the Visa model, but still being used on some of the other models. Other than that the 652 upgrade kit can include a sport camshaft where the engine then provides 48 hp. Also a low compression 670cc kit is available that enables using 85 octane. There is also a conversionkit allowing to use the 4 cylinder Citroen GS / Ami Super boxer engine, that can be tuned to 130 hp if really wanted. Finally, i do like the elegant conversionkit to use the BMW motorcycle flat twins, brings up to 98 hp, for the ultimate and super robust 2cv racing sleeper experience that can surprise people and go really fast at green light. For environmentslists the ev kit is also available

1:11 You took the words right out of my toddler self's mouth (There used to be a 2cv on my street) 8:26 No, they stopped producing the 2CV in 1990

I was a disappointed with your assessment of what to look for when buying a 2CV. That was so generic that it could be applied to just about any car out there. Being the recipient of a hand-me-down ‘64 2CV in my last year of high school in ‘81, I longed for the Toyota’s, Datsun’s, & Honda’s that my friends had. When their cars broke down, not only did I towed them back, but generally speaking, they had to pay to get them fixed. My 2CV was not only reliable, but if something went wrong, I fixed it. Your comment about that was bang on. Peer pressure & envy made me get rid of it and to this day regret it. And on a positive note, I quite enjoyed your running commentary on the 2CV; it brought back good memories. Rumour has it that Karma has relatives in France so careful what you say.

Best review of a 2cv I’ve have ever seen. Had me laughing the whole time. Always loved those quirky little cars and hope to own one.

Some corrections: - Citroën never made a 675cc twin. Biggest the 2cv ever had was a 602. They did make a 652 twin on the same basic design for the Citroën Visa. - The opening in the wheel wells are to dump the hot air when you turn the heater to 'off', not take in fresh air. - The image you see when he mentions the shock absorber was of a completely different car, don't really know why they put that shot in?

Had a yellow Jeon (2CV built in Iran) when my wife and I worked there in the late ‘70s. Loved that little car but couldn’t bring it home. Bought a VW Westphalia when we got back to the US and it was a poor replacement for the 2CV.

I like a lot of Citroen’s. The DS is cool, I think the Traction Avant is one of the classiest cars ever mage. The old Bugatti’s and Delahayes are cool too. I love the Renault R5 as well

I want to park this yellow and black 2CV next to a Chiron with the same color scheme... don't know why

@RobertSmith-le8wp 3 года назад

@@BlueRidgePhantom there’s something familiar between the 2. The rounded roofline and rear and the 2 tone paint. I can see it for sure. It always looks weird when they park a Bugatti type 35 next to a new one, other than the grill shape there nothing linking the 2

I own a '78, and the comparison I would give in terms of speed and torque, would be your regular 4 stroke 125cc motorcycle. But doing a single roundabout is enough to remind you why you need it in life. Did you know Citroen would give you a brand new 2CV for free if you managed yours to roll over?

@jonathanmills127 3 года назад

If your 2Cv loses power like that; check the choke (funny little button behind the steering wheel). If the button is in, pull it out, if it's out push it in....

We’ve restored and rebuilt a 1958 ripple bonnet one, it won’t go over 45kmh. Who cares! It’s a well designed car that outside of France people don’t get.
