The classic car is affectionately known as the “Duck” in Germany or the “Döschwo” in Switzerland. By deliberately slowing down from time to time you can experience enjoyment and relaxation away from the main roads.
Our Sophie has disc brakes at the front and a 27 PS engine, so you can even keep up with the flow of modern traffic.
You’re sure to attract attention and, these days, you won’t even be underdressed when rolling up at the opera in a 2CV.
Perfect for
Drive to the beach, picnic, quick drive with friends or honeymoon in France.
Special Features
The roof can be opend to your liking, the more than gentle sprung suspension warrants for the best ever driving comfort - rivalled only by its big sister, the Citroen DS "Madelaine" - and there is even plenty of luggage space.
History
3,868,631 four-door saloons and 1,246,335 delivery vans were built between 1949 and 1990.
In 1934, Citroën director Pierre-Jules Boulanger awarded the contract to develop a minimalist small car. It is said that the designer André Lefèbvre was given the following brief:
“Design a car that provides enough space for two farmers wearing boots and fifty kilograms of potatoes or a small cask of wine that can travel at a speed of at least 60 km/h but that only needs 3 litres of petrol to travel 100 km. Furthermore, it should be able to travel on very bumpy roads and be so easy to handle that even a woman with no driving experience can handle it. It should have a good suspension and be able to carry a basket of eggs over a ploughed field without breaking one of them. Finally, the new car has to be much cheaper than our ‘Traction Avant’. It doesn’t matter what it looks like.”
The 2CV was the basis for the Citroën models Dyane, Ami and Méhari

Unique experience! Gladly again!
Re. vehicle: Battery seems a bit weak, had to push once! Brakes seem a bit weak. Steering wheel squeaks... but maybe old ducks have to...?
Answer RaC: Thank you for the valuable feedback. We will of course check the battery and teach the steering wheel some manners. The brakes are sufficiently dimensioned for the small duck, but of course it doesn't brake like a modern vehicle.
The reservation is simple and easy, almost too digital. Personally, I would appreciate it if someone from RaC was present when I returned the car. The vehicle was in tip-top condition. Key marking and documentation exemplary. Sit in, drive off and enjoy.
Answer RaC: Thank you for your feedback! A personal introduction can be booked during opening hours. If the return takes place during opening hours, our workshop is open - the customer can choose the return time himself, so that he is not bound to fixed times.
Yours sincerely, Your RaC Team
We will never forget our day with 'Sophie' in the Zürcher Weinland! I was very happy about the good introduction including a short drive on side roads to get into the 'new driving feeling'.
It was like a week's holiday as I automatically drove slower than usual! Soo... a great vehicle in very good condition, we didn't want to give 'Sophie' back and are already looking forward to the next time!
