The Citroën 2CV 6 (French: "deux chevaux" i.e. "deux chevaux-vapeur", lit. "two horses", "two tax horsepower") is an air-cooled front-engine, front-wheel-drive economy car introduced at the 1948 Paris Mondial de l'Automobile and manufactured by Citroën for model years 19481990. 602-cc horizontally opposed 28 horsepower two-cylinder engine Four speed manual transmission Completely restored in France... Original colour - Jaune Rialto (code EAA) This 1976 Citroën 2CV 6 is a restored example which previously belonged to the owner of a Citroën dealer in France. The owner commissioned a restoration by his staff to original specifications, which included the use of new OEM Citroën parts. The work was completed in 2007 while still in France and included a full repaint, new floors, wheels, brake components, full exhaust, and new seat covers. The 602cc twin has also been rebuilt and is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. This 2CV has the top of the line 602cc air-cooled engine with dual barrel carburetor. It can do 68 mph if the road is flat (even faster if it’s downhill). During the restoration, this 2CV was reportedly fully disassembled and repainted in its original color, Jaune Rialto (code EAA). The paintwork was done to a high standard, and that the repaint was complete, with no old paint apparent. The car features new painted steel wheels and matching grey painted bumpers. The soft top was replaced during the restoration. The spartan interior features new seat covers and fitted rubber mats on the floors. The steering wheel is the correct 2-spoke item used in 1970s 2CVs. The original jack, hand crank, and wooden jacking block are still in the trunk. 17k kilometers (~10,500 miles). New parts fitted during the restoration included the floors, wheels, tires, braking components front and rear, and the exhaust system. Invoices are included for the last few items addressed during the restoration.

Purchased new in 1954 by TrentonWorks this beauty was the original ambulance stationed in the plant at Trenton, Nova Scotia. It was always stored inside during its tenure and has only 23,921 original miles. . Since the plant's closure, it has been decommissioned and has had three owners. The current owner conducted a very thorough restoration to "Better than new" condition. It is equipped with a Ford Flathead V-8, 3-speed on the column, wide white-walled tires, oak plank floor with stainless steel inserts, heater and not much more. The beauty is now being used as a Ford Parts & Service promotional vehicle... and why not?
