I wonder if Citroen appreciated the commitment and concern for quality that's evident among the workers in this video. So much done by hand, so many components designed for light weight and easy assembly, an incredibly well-conceived car, put together in a livable, almost spotless factory, on assembly lines for the most part moved by hand...
What have a 2CV and an Aston Martin got in common- they are both hand built. This is one of the most charming videos I have ever seen of car building. All those fit, young employees doing a great job, the work environment looks fun and the simplicity of the car is fantastic. We should all be driving cars like this today. This was a car that you actually drove, not sat in and pressed buttons. Happy days.
Есть еще одна в мире осталась , делается по технологии шестидесятых годов ,это УАЗ Буханка. У нас ее не навидят , но равные стоят в 6 раз дороже.-ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qZCJwkd3hJQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dey0etip4S0.html
My Charleston was made here in September 1989, my 3rd new 2CV6 since 1978. Arrived in Australia in May 1990. The first RHD Charleston to come out of Portugal in 1989. 12 more followed coming to Australia. Amazing to see a 40 year old production method built largely by hand. In 1982 I picked up a new Paris built Charleston which I drove for 15 months across Europe, UK, Ireland, USA & Canada. The French built car was better built - especially for rust proofing.
Got a 2CV club in Red vallelunga like in the clip, build at this factory in 1990 about 1000 cars from the last one. Can't compare its rust proofing to a French one as I never owned another 2CV but I have repaired a fair amount of rust on it since I got it. Love the thing. it is the most reliable car I have ever owned and a blast to drive in the summer. It has never let me down and is the only car I have had that has not dropped any fluids on the garage floor.
My Portuguese Charleston had a front floor rust repair under warranty at age 3 years old. Never had this issue with the 2 French built cars... Maybe the quality of the steel or rustproofing.
Portugal sempre teve bons trabalhadores seja na area que for! O 2cv é um automóvel icónico e Portugal esteve presente na sua concepção! Parabéns citroen e Portugal
@@HenriBourjade Claro que sim, trata-se de um conceito e desenvolvimento 100% Francês mas quando começou a ser montado em Portugal, houve modelos sucessores ao 2CV que realmente foram concebidos em Portugal, penso que apenas para o mercado interno mas a base era a original: chassis e motor e uma carroceria com algumas particularidades locais. Estou a lembrar-me do Dyane Dyanissima e a Dyane Nazaré
2CV had separate chassis and body and so had still the CX I was crashed badly on my CX from rear. I just bought another CX with good body but wrecked engine, lifted the bodies ut f chassis, swapped them and in two dayys a new CX. Little problem in checking as color had changes in registry papers..
Najlepszy samochód jaki został wyprodukowany . Miałem od nowego , sprzedałem po 20 latach i nadal jeździ .! Żadnych problemów technicznych !!! Super autko !Szkoda ,że nie można kupić nowego...bez zastanowienia kupuję w ciemno ! Brawo !
No niektórzy tak mają nie doceniają tego co mają pozbywają się a potem się w koło żalą :-)( Tu masz manufakture ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-byDCSwVrZsU.html przyślij zdjęcia jak kupisz :-)
That's set !! The 2 horses should have been like a warning....the economic model not to exceed ! Easy to build... Easy fixe it.... Economic with less pollution... Practical and fun.....! But people always want more, bigger, faster and luxury..., like this everyone knows the rest....and why today we pay the price !! Are they human beings fondamently stupids or they dot it on purpose ?
The car I had the more fun with. We used to cram 5 rugby players and go to games and the beach or to pubs. A trick to entertain people sitting outside beer joints was to lift it off the ground between six guys and properly "park" it in a tight space.
Hola ...Este auto se armo también en Argentina....mis tíos trabajaron en esa planta de Citroën. Aca se denominaron 2CV Y 3 CV.....en los años 70s...luego a mi me tocó trabajar para Fiat /Peugeot... en los 90s ..y me toco armar vehículos también en forma "artesanal" como en esta planta... se armaba el puesto y luego se empujaba el vehículo al próximo puesto... eran vehÍculos de bajo volúmenes de fabricación....mucha nostalgia de años vividos en plantas automotrices acá en Argentina...saludos / Parabéns /Best regards/Salutations....
Que de progrès dans l industrie automobile depuis les années 1970; Mais aussi grace a la main d'oeuvre qualifiée Portuguaise parmi les meilleures en europe .Bravo et merci d avoir fabriqué cette voiture du peuple.😀😀😀
C'est beau les rêves, c'est une voiture entièrement française dont le prototype a été caché dans un grenier pendant la guerre et les portugais n'ont jamais réellement construit de voiture, ils ont copié Fiat pendant des années pour alimenter la marque Seat
@@giannicardone9110 Oui c'est vrai comme les Espagnols qui ont aussi copié Fiat et encore aujourd'hui pour les Espagnols les marque de voitures Françaises assemblées sur leur territoire sont pour eux des marques espagnoles . Les espagnols se sont toujours attribué le mérite des autres ...sachez que pour eux Airbus et Aérospacial c'est a eux ....tout est comme ça chez les espagnols je sais de quoi je parle je suis Français habitant 6 mois de l'année en espagne c'est dur pour moi de toujours de devoir preuve a l'appui dire aux espagnols que tout ces grands groupes ne sont pas espagnol .
@@thierryrebillard6432 ils font ça peut-être parce qu'ils ne savent rien faire à part détruire les civilisations (les Amériques et les Aztèques) en s'appropiant tout pour faire croire à leur grandeur, je connais les espagnols car j'ai été routier et ils mentent et volent sans arrêt malheureusement
Très belle voiture pour peut de chose pour sa fabrication et son assemblage, la voiture passe partout et 100 kg de patates, danseuses dans les courbes de la route, mon oncle en possédait une, où j'ai appris comment tourner le volant, c'était en Martinique vers la fin des années 68/69 et je m'en souviens encore, j'aime toutes les voitures anciennes 🚘

Was für eine entschleunigte Zeit. Kein Roboter, Jeder Arbeiter konnte so seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen. Kein Fließband welches den Takt angibt. Ich fahre selber noch einen 2CV und jeder Kilometer ist Spaß pur. Dabei zuverlässiger als jeder moderne rollende Computer. Sollte denoch mal was kaputt gehen, gibt kein reperaturfreundlicheres Auto als einen 2CV. Man kann praktisch alles selber repariere.Aber wo nichts dran kann nichts kaputtgehen . Zudem ist die Ersatzteilversorgung exelent, es gibt praktisch alles zum nachkaufen.
Citroen 2 CV y 3 CV verdaderas joyas mecánicas un auto cómodo económico. En repuestos cuando eran necesarios su costo era super económico. Fue un auto familiar para muchas familias disfrutar un fin de semana con los hijos ir a un camping. Gracias por un vídeo hermoso ver fabricar un auto que fue el recuerdo de muchas familias amigos y yo tuve un 2 CV y un 3 CV. Le envío un cordial saludo desde la Ciudad de Buenos Aires Argentina.
La deux pète, deuche, dodoche etc est assurément un beau monument de l'histoire automobile. Simple, robuste, passe-partout et avec un charme inaltérable. Dommage qu'il n'y ait plus de voitures comme cela de nos jours. Mon Papa, en 1953 s'est acheté une 2Cv et l'a beaucoup aimé. Et si en 1962 il avait un jag E, pour aller en Espagne et vu l'état déplorable des routes ibériques, il a prenait sa 2 Cv. Comme nous habitons à la campagne, la deuche a toujours fait partie des voitures que nous ayons eu. J'ai du mettre la mienne à la ferraille en partant en Inde en 2004 et je le regrette !!
Una vettura, DOVUTA progettare MECCANICAMENTE dal famoso Prof/Ing. F. Porsche, derivandola dal Mitico-Maggiolino, mentre era trattenuto in prigione dai Francesi, dopo-la 2°GM, con la falsa accusa di "Nazismo", successivamente "liberato" dopo pagamento di forte riscatto, da un ricco Industriale Italiano, (c.Dusio)per aiutarlo a perfezionere/migliorare una poi famosa vettura Sportiva Italiana la "CISITALIA" tutt'ora esposta al "M.o.M.A." di N.Y./USA. Ma il grave difetto della "2CV" era/rimane l'estrema Fragilità Strutturale della "Carrozzeria/Citroen", che la rendeva veramente pericolosa: in caso di collisioni, per i passeggeri, per cui fu, poi: Obsoleta. È STORIA
La meilleur des fabrication 100% fais main. La bonne époque. Quand on regarde les usines d'aujourd'hui ils ont tellement de machines et de robots partout qu'il y a plus beaucoup de place. Mais la ont vois bien que c'est moins chargés dans leurs usines et que la fabrication de cette voiture est fais en grosse majorité par des ouvriers et non par des machines
MPG on the 2CV depends on what years and engines of those years . The HP started at 9 hp up to 33hp , With the 9hp engine the car can top out at 40 mph and get some 80 MPG . Just right for in town driving and out on chipped & tire country lanes . As time went by the hp increased also . At 33 hp the little 2CV can reach speeds up to 70 mph . It still took a day and a half to get to that speed . No but about something like 42 sec @ 40 mph with the 9 hp engine . As time went by and hp increased these figures got better . The first engines was two cylinders . A boxer engine of 375cc and it being air cooled . All of these 2CV cars had 2 cylinder boxer engines . There was other things about these cars that was great . They was light weight . The suspension was simple and clever at the same time . It was self leveling on unequal ground . The French did this by means of linking fore and aft wheels . Doing this setup this gave the softest ride of any car . This also gave the car a lot of body roll also . So soft in fact that you can have a basket of eggs in the back seat and drive the car threw a farm field and never have a cracked egg . That is how soft the ride really is . It is much softer than the best Rolls Royce even to this day and it is so simple . There is a lot of hatters of the French and the French did so much for the USA during the Revolutionary war . They built and gave US ALL the freedom we have from that war . With out them we would have lost that war and still be under the British command to this day . They built and gave us the Statue of Liberty as a gift for our freedom . They sold us the Louisiana Territory that was called The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 . But this is way off . I can say this that the French had great inventors and inventions . This include aircraft . To the French it is not just their inventions it's the art they mix in with it . Great pride and care . Everything have to be simple .
@@terencejay8845 No, it was rated as two horse-power under the french taxation system (not the actual hp, but calculated using a formula from the engine size). Other French cars were known by their CV rating, like the Citroen Traction Avant 11CV. British cars were rated similarly - like the Standard 8.
Superbe 2CV, elle passe partout, elle est increvable, facile d'entretien, et économique. Dans les années 70 , j'en avais une, puis une Diane , merveilleuses voitures. Si seulement ils relançaient leurs productions??
J'adore ces deux voitures (et même l'Acadiane !) mais pourtant je ne souhaiterai pas qu'ils relancent la production... Non seulement parce que ca ne correspond plus aux réalités de la route au 21ème siècle (notamment niveau sécurité, les SUV seront friands de les broyer dans les accidents), et surtout parce que les puristes vont rejeter la "nouvelle production" de 2CV car elles auront le malheur de ne pas être des "pure Citroën de la première période"... car bon de "puriste" à "intégriste" ou gardien du temple, il y a qu'un pas malheureusement ^^
Ah Martin, that has been my wish for the past 40 years! I used to own one in the 1960s and I consider it to be the very best of cars, among the many I have since owned, re comfort, reliability due mostly to the simplicity of the design and so very cheap to run. I just cannot figure out why Citroën does not replicate the 2CV, but possibly with a still small 2-cylinder motor albeit with modern technology. Suspension, simplicity of body, doors etc could be exactly the same... Maybe they could sell the design to India?
@@lautrey6531 I closest I ever came to owning one was in 1976 when my wife and I went to look at a new one on sale in the UK for 2700 pounds. She said she'd rather walk. Here in Australia, the odd 2CV comes up for sale for many times that amount...
@@logotrikes strange coincidence I am in Perth (WA)! I had my 2CV in Mauritius where I was born. Yes re 2CV are expensive on the rare occasions they become available. Cheers Martin from a cold and wet Perth.
excelente video buenos vehículos y que trazaron el camino a muchas empresas en diferentes áreas, en especial ese vehículo fue un carrázo. gracias por esa remembranza.
Dieses Auto hatte eine Seele! Es hatte Charakter! Es hatte Atmosphäre! Rs war liebenswert! Es war zuverlässig! Es war günstig! Deshalb war es Kult! 👍😎🇦🇹
That was great fun to watch this. It was like comedy where they turned the cabin over and transported it on the floor. But a great car having wonderful ideas.
I wish it continued production.. It was a very funny and very cute car.. I would be very happy if I owned a CV2. Greetings from Izmir.*** Keşke üretimi devam etseydi.. Çok komik ve çok sevimli bir otomobildi.. İzmir/Türkiye den selamlar.
Moments of note. 1:30 and 6:42 Hanging the rear doors. 5:20 Personal steering wheel and column 7:04 NSR (in France) sidelight fault 9:55 How much greener we would be if cars were still like that.
Uma viatura concebida para estra ao alcance da generalidade das pessoas. Sem luxos, porém com o essencial. Era espetacular velas curvar e manterem as "quarto patinhas" no asfalto😄
Tenho a idade para dizer o que sinto estando ., lúcido . Portugal tem um povo que se tiver um chefe PORTUGUÊS , faz de Portugal um país respeitado , agora da apertos de mão. //// SÓ Lamento. Rui Silva 😊
Bon dieu, je n'ai jamais conduit de 2CV, uniquement une AMi8 break et une Dyane. Qu'est-ce que j'aimerais encore avoir ce genre de voiture ....simple (fabriquée comme une cage à poule ou à lapin), économique, faite pour l'humilité et la sympathie et une autre idée du confort.
alguno se ha mandado el experimento de mandarle un turbo, lo banca bien, lo que no banca mucho es el resto, el auto está hecho para andar como mucho a 130 km/h, arriba de eso se vuelve bastante inestable, en manos de los conductores actuales sería causal de accidentes con seguridad, no creo que nadie quiera a un Ralph Nader moderno hablando pestes del 2cv, jejeje, necesitaría neumáticos con más pisada y la barra estabilizadora del Ami 8 por lo menos.
I think you can make it again for poor countries and countrysides where road safety is not much of concern as due to lack of roads or cheap rural transport vehicle also the van model.....also known as rural egg transporter
Elle aurait pu continuer sa carrière dans les pays pauvres bresil affrique de bon souvenir de ma jeunesse les PRIX vont encore grimper dommage c etait la voiture du smicard
Außer in Frankreich auch in Belgien, Portugal, Spanien, Argentinien - Varianten auch in Iran, in Griechenland, Jugoslawien, Laos, Vietnam - vielleicht fehlt da noch was, in Afrika wurden auch einige montiert.
