Meet BeBe, my 1985 Citroen 2CV Charleston in grey. RHD.
I purchased the car 9 years ago and have enjoyed ~5k miles since. The previous owner restored the car, just before I bought it, after it had been off the road for around 20 years. The car has, until recently, been kept in my garage. The car runs beautifully – a joy to drive!
As expected with a car this age, there are a few blemishes to the paintwork and small areas of surface rust and wear and tear on the upholstery – all simple fixes. However, the underlying car is solid and benefits from a galvanised chassis.
The car comes with a brand new waterproof car cover (~£150), MOT due September and then will be MOT exempt from this year.
