CITROEN 2CV, called "dodoche", with meije white dress, first hand. Hood with five ribs type AZ KA. Carrying the serial number VF7AKAKA00KA326301, with a power of 3 HP tax, it is put in circulation on 25/11/1988. Its CI bodywork is classified as a passenger car and its five-position mechanical counter shows 76,414 km (not guaranteed). It will need gasoline to run. Black soft top. Nice condition, it has a few rust spots and has its registration and technical control. Provenance: bought new, in a dealership, in Saint-Brieuc and kept by its owner until now in a private garage in Plérin. Icon among icons, there is no need to present the one that has transported so many French people on the asphalt ribbons of the hexagon and that has now entered the Pantheon of our memories. The specifications of the time called for "a car that could transport two farmers in clogs and 50 kg of potatoes or a barrel, at a maximum speed of 60 km /h, for a consumption of 3l /100, a low maintenance cost and a selling price of one third of the traction. In addition, this vehicle must be able to pass in the worst ways, it must be light enough to be handled without problems by a beginner driver. Its comfort must be irreproachable because the baskets of eggs transported at the back must arrive intact". Thus, the famous "4 wheels under an umbrella" has an engine designed to have a maximum efficiency with the minimum of maintenance: light, easy to access, not very greedy but especially of a resistance to any test and, if its power is relatively weak, it can be solicited constantly without risk of breakage.
