are 2cv's still being made ???? think they started in 1948 or something like that.
The end of the 2CV
The 2CV was produced for 42 years, the model finally succumbing to customer demands for speed, comfort and safety, all areas (apart from ride comfort) in which it had fallen significantly behind more modern cars. Style alone no longer justified its retention in the Citro?n range. In 1988 production ceased in France but was continued in Portugal. The last 2CV, gray with chassis number VF7AZKA00KA376002, rolled off the Portuguese production line on July 27, 1990. In all a total of 3,872,583 2CV's were produced. The 2CV has earned a unique place in motoring history as one of the most radical production car designs ever.
Rebirth?
The company Sorevie of Lod?ve is building 2CVs today. The cars are built from scratch using mostly new parts. But as a 2CV doesn't comply with modern regulations for new cars, the cars are sold as second-hand cars using chassis and engine number from old 2CVs.
The 2CV-M?hari Club Cassis also recondition 2CVs. Recently they entered a 2CV prototype in the Paris-Dakar Rally; this was a twin engine car (like the 2CV Sahara) powered by two 602 cc engines. [1]
