BaT Auction: 1974 Citroen 2CV 4

This 1974 Citroën 2CV 4 was imported from France to the US in 2006 by the seller. Subsequent refurbishment work included refinishing the exterior in two-tone orange and white, replacement of the orange soft top, an overhaul of the brakes, and a rebuild of its 435cc flat-twin. Equipment includes orange upholstery, a four-speed manual transaxle with a ‘Traffic Clutch’, front mud flaps, and white-painted bumpers with front overriders. This 2CV is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, import documentation, and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.

The body was refinished in orange with white accents in 2016. Exterior equipment includes white-painted bumpers with front overriders, front mudflaps, and “SPOT” decals. The orange roll-back soft top was replaced with a component sourced from Matt’s Soft Tops in the UK, and a repair patch was applied to the left side of the vehicle during current ownership. Cracks are visible in the front bumper, and the left-front wheel arch has scratches.

Steel 15″ wheels are finished in white and wear polished hubcaps, and they are mounted with Uniroyal Rallye tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums which were replaced in 2012, at which time the CV boots were also replaced.

The interior features seating surfaces fitted with orange cloth covers along with a contrasting dashboard. The car is equipped with three-point seatbelts up front, rear lap belts, and black rubber floor coverings.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 130-km/h speedometer. The five-digit mechanical odometer indicates under 3,700 kilometers (~2,200 miles), though total mileage is unknown.

The air-cooled 435cc flat-twin features a single carburetor and was reportedly rebuilt in 2015. Power is sent to the front wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle equipped with a centrifugal ‘Traffic Clutch’ system.

Additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.

The chassis tag shows stamping 9108249, which matches the Massachusetts title and denotes the car as a 1974 model-year 2CV 4 model.
