Imagine storing a daily car, let's say a Citroën C3 from 2013, in the shed. For later. There is a good chance that few people understand you. Yet this was done very often decades ago. Like with this Dyane. In '81 it had already had two owners in Terneuzen, the latter decided to put it in the shed after some time. It only came out again in 2014. For the C3 in the example, this would be in 2057.
The Burton was designed almost 25 years ago. A plastic body with classic sporty looks on a 2cv chassis. Building it yourself was the most fun. In the colour, with the details and in the model that you liked.
I had one before, but strangely enough I never rode it. I sold it to have the proceeds contribute to the purchase of my first 2cv. But when I bought a car a few weeks ago, this Puch MV50 was in the garage, I was tempted.
Project car for enthusiast, chassis and body in good condition, no welding needed. Interieur in good condition. Partially hand-painted, solid, needs technical attention on brakes and some other technical issues.
An original Dutch delivered Traction Avant is something you don't come across very often. It’s a 6-cylinder. Completely restored? No, only technically overhauled and repainted 20 years ago. It even still has the original interior! And the history is completely described.
We sold this 2cv once before in 2009. At that time it had driven 23,000 km. It has had two owners, both of whom took good care of the car in their own way.
This 2cv has been owned for 24 years by a customer of ours and before that belonged to her grandmother. It was once pampered and kept indoors. In recent years, this was no longer possible and it was slowly fading away. Sometimes things come up in your life that prevent you from paying enough attention to your precious 2cv. So we were asked if we wanted to guide it to a new happy life.
2CVs produced in Belgium always have our special attention. Especially if they were also originally Dutch delivered. The models from the factory in Vorst have nice specific details, for example in the lighting.
We regularly find nice R4s. In France, Spain or Serbia. We found this red GTL - with the smooth engine - in Belgrade in '17. We brought it here, prepared it technically and provided it with a Dutch registration. Now, 7 years and 90,000 km later, we have it back in our showroom.
In the Alps, southeast of Grenoble, near les Deux Alpes, you will find a mountain called La Meije. Also called "finger of God". Does the finger point to heaven or elsewhere?
In the spring of '61, Citroën introduced a new model between the popular 2CV and DS, the Ami 6. With the growing economy and emancipation, Citroën increasingly focused on female customers. The Ami 6 was promoted as a friend of the French ladies, with a specific “Pour Vous Madame” campaign. The brochure could easily have been for Parisian fashion, beautifully photographed and styled.
