I wonder if Citroen appreciated the commitment and concern for quality that's evident among the workers in this video. So much done by hand, so many components designed for light weight and easy assembly, an incredibly well-conceived car, put together in a livable, almost spotless factory, on assembly lines for the most part moved by hand...
My Charleston was made here in September 1989, my 3rd new 2CV6 since 1978. Arrived in Australia in May 1990. The first RHD Charleston to come out of Portugal in 1989. 12 more followed coming to Australia. Amazing to see a 40 year old production method built largely by hand. In 1982 I picked up a new Paris built Charleston which I drove for 15 months across Europe, UK, Ireland, USA & Canada. The French built car was better built - especially for rust proofing.
Got a 2CV club in Red vallelunga like in the clip, build at this factory in 1990 about 1000 cars from the last one. Can't compare its rust proofing to a French one as I never owned another 2CV but I have repaired a fair amount of rust on it since I got it. Love the thing. it is the most reliable car I have ever owned and a blast to drive in the summer. It has never let me down and is the only car I have had that has not dropped any fluids on the garage floor.
My Portuguese Charleston had a front floor rust repair under warranty at age 3 years old. Never had this issue with the 2 French built cars... Maybe the quality of the steel or rustproofing.
Portugal sempre teve bons trabalhadores seja na area que for! O 2cv é um automóvel icónico e Portugal esteve presente na sua concepção! Parabéns citroen e Portugal
@@HenriBourjade Claro que sim, trata-se de um conceito e desenvolvimento 100% Francês mas quando começou a ser montado em Portugal, houve modelos sucessores ao 2CV que realmente foram concebidos em Portugal, penso que apenas para o mercado interno mas a base era a original: chassis e motor e uma carroceria com algumas particularidades locais. Estou a lembrar-me do Dyane Dyanissima e a Dyane Nazaré
Très belle voiture pour peut de chose pour sa fabrication et son assemblage, la voiture passe partout et 100 kg de patates, danseuses dans les courbes de la route, mon oncle en possédait une, où j'ai appris comment tourner le volant, c'était en Martinique vers la fin des années 68/69 et je m'en souviens encore, j'aime toutes les voitures anciennes 🚘
What have a 2CV and an Aston Martin got in common- they are both hand built. This is one of the most charming videos I have ever seen of car building. All those fit, young employees doing a great job, the work environment looks fun and the simplicity of the car is fantastic. We should all be driving cars like this today. This was a car that you actually drove, not sat in and pressed buttons. Happy days.

Comprei um 2CV em 1986 até 1997 , fiz 183 km sem problemas e chagava a fazer num dia em férias 500 / 700km sem problemas ! Tinha muito cuidado na frequência em cerca de 5000km mudança de óleo , ver platinados e velas e andar! SAudades!
Bon dieu, je n'ai jamais conduit de 2CV, uniquement une AMi8 break et une Dyane. Qu'est-ce que j'aimerais encore avoir ce genre de voiture ....simple (fabriquée comme une cage à poule ou à lapin), économique, faite pour l'humilité et la sympathie et une autre idée du confort.
That's set !! The 2 horses should have been like a warning....the economic model not to exceed ! Easy to build... Easy fixe it.... Economic with less pollution... Practical and fun.....! But people always want more, bigger, faster and luxury..., like this everyone knows the rest....and why today we pay the price !! Are they human beings fondamently stupids or they dot it on purpose ?
2CV had separate chassis and body and so had still the CX I was crashed badly on my CX from rear. I just bought another CX with good body but wrecked engine, lifted the bodies ut f chassis, swapped them and in two dayys a new CX. Little problem in checking as color had changes in registry papers..

MPG on the 2CV depends on what years and engines of those years . The HP started at 9 hp up to 33hp , With the 9hp engine the car can top out at 40 mph and get some 80 MPG . Just right for in town driving and out on chipped & tire country lanes . As time went by the hp increased also . At 33 hp the little 2CV can reach speeds up to 70 mph . It still took a day and a half to get to that speed . No but about something like 42 sec @ 40 mph with the 9 hp engine . As time went by and hp increased these figures got better . The first engines was two cylinders . A boxer engine of 375cc and it being air cooled . All of these 2CV cars had 2 cylinder boxer engines . There was other things about these cars that was great . They was light weight . The suspension was simple and clever at the same time . It was self leveling on unequal ground . The French did this by means of linking fore and aft wheels . Doing this setup this gave the softest ride of any car . This also gave the car a lot of body roll also . So soft in fact that you can have a basket of eggs in the back seat and drive the car threw a farm field and never have a cracked egg . That is how soft the ride really is . It is much softer than the best Rolls Royce even to this day and it is so simple . There is a lot of hatters of the French and the French did so much for the USA during the Revolutionary war . They built and gave US ALL the freedom we have from that war . With out them we would have lost that war and still be under the British command to this day . They built and gave us the Statue of Liberty as a gift for our freedom . They sold us the Louisiana Territory that was called The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 . But this is way off . I can say this that the French had great inventors and inventions . This include aircraft . To the French it is not just their inventions it's the art they mix in with it . Great pride and care . Everything have to be simple .
@@terencejay8845 No, it was rated as two horse-power under the french taxation system (not the actual hp, but calculated using a formula from the engine size). Other French cars were known by their CV rating, like the Citroen Traction Avant 11CV. British cars were rated similarly - like the Standard 8.

Ah Martin, that has been my wish for the past 40 years! I used to own one in the 1960s and I consider it to be the very best of cars, among the many I have since owned, re comfort, reliability due mostly to the simplicity of the design and so very cheap to run. I just cannot figure out why Citroën does not replicate the 2CV, but possibly with a still small 2-cylinder motor albeit with modern technology. Suspension, simplicity of body, doors etc could be exactly the same... Maybe they could sell the design to India?
@@lautrey6531 I closest I ever came to owning one was in 1976 when my wife and I went to look at a new one on sale in the UK for 2700 pounds. She said she'd rather walk. Here in Australia, the odd 2CV comes up for sale for many times that amount...

La deux pète, deuche, dodoche etc est assurément un beau monument de l'histoire automobile. Simple, robuste, passe-partout et avec un charme inaltérable. Dommage qu'il n'y ait plus de voitures comme cela de nos jours. Mon Papa, en 1953 s'est acheté une 2Cv et l'a beaucoup aimé. Et si en 1962 il avait un jag E, pour aller en Espagne et vu l'état déplorable des routes ibériques, il a prenait sa 2 Cv. Comme nous habitons à la campagne, la deuche a toujours fait partie des voitures que nous ayons eu. J'ai du mettre la mienne à la ferraille en partant en Inde en 2004 et je le regrette !!
Una vettura, DOVUTA progettare MECCANICAMENTE dal famoso Prof/Ing. F. Porsche, derivandola dal Mitico-Maggiolino, mentre era trattenuto in prigione dai Francesi, dopo-la 2°GM, con la falsa accusa di "Nazismo", successivamente "liberato" dopo pagamento di forte riscatto, da un ricco Industriale Italiano, (c.Dusio)per aiutarlo a perfezionere/migliorare una poi famosa vettura Sportiva Italiana la "CISITALIA" tutt'ora esposta al "M.o.M.A." di N.Y./USA. Ma il grave difetto della "2CV" era/rimane l'estrema Fragilità Strutturale della "Carrozzeria/Citroen", che la rendeva veramente pericolosa: in caso di collisioni, per i passeggeri, per cui fu, poi: Obsoleta. È STORIA
Was für eine entschleunigte Zeit. Kein Roboter, Jeder Arbeiter konnte so seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen. Kein Fließband welches den Takt angibt. Ich fahre selber noch einen 2CV und jeder Kilometer ist Spaß pur. Dabei zuverlässiger als jeder moderne rollende Computer. Sollte denoch mal was kaputt gehen, gibt kein reperaturfreundlicheres Auto als einen 2CV. Man kann praktisch alles selber repariere.Aber wo nichts dran kann nichts kaputtgehen . Zudem ist die Ersatzteilversorgung exelent, es gibt praktisch alles zum nachkaufen.

Superbe 2CV, elle passe partout, elle est increvable, facile d'entretien, et économique. Dans les années 70 , j'en avais une, puis une Diane , merveilleuses voitures. Si seulement ils relançaient leurs productions??
J'adore ces deux voitures (et même l'Acadiane !) mais pourtant je ne souhaiterai pas qu'ils relancent la production... Non seulement parce que ca ne correspond plus aux réalités de la route au 21ème siècle (notamment niveau sécurité, les SUV seront friands de les broyer dans les accidents), et surtout parce que les puristes vont rejeter la "nouvelle production" de 2CV car elles auront le malheur de ne pas être des "pure Citroën de la première période"... car bon de "puriste" à "intégriste" ou gardien du temple, il y a qu'un pas malheureusement ^^
I wish it continued production.. It was a very funny and very cute car.. I would be very happy if I owned a CV2. Greetings from Izmir.*** Keşke üretimi devam etseydi.. Çok komik ve çok sevimli bir otomobildi.. İzmir/Türkiye den selamlar.
The car I had the more fun with. We used to cram 5 rugby players and go to games and the beach or to pubs. A trick to entertain people sitting outside beer joints was to lift it off the ground between six guys and properly "park" it in a tight space.
Que de progrès dans l industrie automobile depuis les années 1970; Mais aussi grace a la main d'oeuvre qualifiée Portuguaise parmi les meilleures en europe .Bravo et merci d avoir fabriqué cette voiture du peuple.😀😀😀
C'est beau les rêves, c'est une voiture entièrement française dont le prototype a été caché dans un grenier pendant la guerre et les portugais n'ont jamais réellement construit de voiture, ils ont copié Fiat pendant des années pour alimenter la marque Seat
@@giannicardone9110 Oui c'est vrai comme les Espagnols qui ont aussi copié Fiat et encore aujourd'hui pour les Espagnols les marque de voitures Françaises assemblées sur leur territoire sont pour eux des marques espagnoles . Les espagnols se sont toujours attribué le mérite des autres ...sachez que pour eux Airbus et Aérospacial c'est a eux ....tout est comme ça chez les espagnols je sais de quoi je parle je suis Français habitant 6 mois de l'année en espagne c'est dur pour moi de toujours de devoir preuve a l'appui dire aux espagnols que tout ces grands groupes ne sont pas espagnol .

That was great fun to watch this. It was like comedy where they turned the cabin over and transported it on the floor. But a great car having wonderful ideas.
... I bought my orange Citroén Dyane in 1985 for the princely some of £30, which included a new 'King pin' kit for the front wheels/steering... she lasted about 4 to 5 years until the floor rotted away... apart from fitting the King pins (bastard of a job), a new alternator and yearly services that's all I had to do... sold her on for £30 less the alternator... cheapest, best car I've ever had the pleasure of owning and driving... RIP Dyane

La meilleur des fabrication 100% fais main. La bonne époque. Quand on regarde les usines d'aujourd'hui ils ont tellement de machines et de robots partout qu'il y a plus beaucoup de place.

Interessante a fabricação desse carro, muito trabalho manual, quase artesanal e zero ergonomia. Uma pena que nunca tivemos esse carrinho no Brasil, seria bem legal.
@@Cinesian As leis de emissões e segurança não permitiriam fabricar o carro de jeito que era. Teria que ser um projeto novo e seria muito caro, fugindo do objetivo original. Resta só a admiração nos vídeos da net.

Et si en 1962 il avait un jag E, pour aller en Espagne et vu l'état déplorable des routes ibériques, il a prenait sa 2 Cv. Comme nous habitons à la campagne, la deuche a toujours fait partie des voitures que nous ayons eu. J'ai du mettre la mienne à la ferraille en partant en Inde en 2004 et je le regrette !!
Una vettura, DOVUTA progettare MECCANICAMENTE dal famoso Prof/Ing. F. Porsche, derivandola dal Mitico-Maggiolino, mentre era trattenuto in prigione dai Francesi, dopo-la 2°GM, con la falsa accusa di "Nazismo", successivamente "liberato" dopo pagamento di forte riscatto, da un ricco Industriale Italiano, (c.Dusio)per aiutarlo a perfezionere/migliorare una poi famosa vettura Sportiva Italiana la "CISITALIA" tutt'ora esposta al "M.o.M.A." di N.Y./USA. Ma il grave difetto della "2CV" era/rimane l'estrema Fragilità Strutturale della "Carrozzeria/Citroen", che la rendeva veramente pericolosa: in caso di collisioni, per i passeggeri, per cui fu, poi: Obsoleta. È STORIA
Was für eine entschleunigte Zeit. Kein Roboter, Jeder Arbeiter konnte so seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen. Kein Fließband welches den Takt angibt. Ich fahre selber noch einen 2CV und jeder Kilometer ist Spaß pur. Dabei zuverlässiger als jeder moderne rollende Computer. Sollte denoch mal was kaputt gehen, gibt kein reperaturfreundlicheres Auto als einen 2CV. Man kann praktisch alles selber repariere.Aber wo nichts dran kann nichts kaputtgehen . Zudem ist die Ersatzteilversorgung exelent, es gibt praktisch alles zum nachkaufen.

I used to drive a 2cv when I was in college,my Jerry can (for extra fuel ) was a coke bottle.,used 3 l /100kms.(90mpg US)
Superbe 2CV, elle passe partout, elle est increvable, facile d'entretien, et économique. Dans les années 70 , j'en avais une, puis une Diane , merveilleuses voitures. Si seulement ils relançaient leurs productions??
El club Mehari 2cv busca te pueden fabricar uno nuevo.
J'adore ces deux voitures (et même l'Acadiane !) mais pourtant je ne souhaiterai pas qu'ils relancent la production... Non seulement parce que ca ne correspond plus aux réalités de la route au 21ème siècle (notamment niveau sécurité, les SUV seront friands de les broyer dans les accidents), et surtout parce que les puristes vont rejeter la "nouvelle production" de 2CV car elles auront le malheur de ne pas être des "pure Citroën de la première période"... car bon de "puriste" à "intégriste" ou gardien du temple, il y a qu'un pas malheureusement ^^
@@CapitaineSabor Perdona tú estás en tus cabales o te falta un tornillo .
I wish it continued production.. It was a very funny and very cute car.. I would be very happy if I owned a CV2. Greetings from Izmir.*** Keşke üretimi devam etseydi.. Çok komik ve çok sevimli bir otomobildi.. İzmir/Türkiye den selamlar.
Hep bir 2CV sahibi olmak istedim ama pek mümkün görünmüyor artık bu koşullarda :)
@@furkanerdo8124 Ben de ...
Quel tallent . Trés belle vidéo merci . 😍🤩
I had four 2CV in the 70's and 80's....and I loved them all... 👍
Yep , same here. One of the best car ever made even as simple as it was.
The car I had the more fun with. We used to cram 5 rugby players and go to games and the beach or to pubs. A trick to entertain people sitting outside beer joints was to lift it off the ground between six guys and properly "park" it in a tight space.
@@jackthepirate9233 Simple for simpletons!
Que de progrès dans l industrie automobile depuis les années 1970; Mais aussi grace a la main d'oeuvre qualifiée Portuguaise parmi les meilleures en europe .Bravo et merci d avoir fabriqué cette voiture du peuple.😀😀😀
French car !!
C'est beau les rêves, c'est une voiture entièrement française dont le prototype a été caché dans un grenier pendant la guerre et les portugais n'ont jamais réellement construit de voiture, ils ont copié Fiat pendant des années pour alimenter la marque Seat
@@giannicardone9110 Oui c'est vrai comme les Espagnols qui ont aussi copié Fiat et encore aujourd'hui pour les Espagnols les marque de voitures Françaises assemblées sur leur territoire sont pour eux des marques espagnoles . Les espagnols se sont toujours attribué le mérite des autres ...sachez que pour eux Airbus et Aérospacial c'est a eux ....tout est comme ça chez les espagnols je sais de quoi je parle je suis Français habitant 6 mois de l'année en espagne c'est dur pour moi de toujours de devoir preuve a l'appui dire aux espagnols que tout ces grands groupes ne sont pas espagnol .
@@thierryrebillard6432 ils font ça peut-être parce qu'ils ne savent rien faire à part détruire les civilisations (les Amériques et les Aztèques) en s'appropiant tout pour faire croire à leur grandeur, je connais les espagnols car j'ai été routier et ils mentent et volent sans arrêt malheureusement
-- Classify it as a motorcycle,
-- Get past the safety regs,
-- Start manufacturing them again!
Par rapport à la trabant, fabriquée par la meilleure économie du bloc de l'Est, la 2CV est un bijou de technologie !
excelente video buenos vehículos y que trazaron el camino a muchas empresas en diferentes áreas, en especial ese vehículo fue un carrázo. gracias por esa remembranza.
Eine meiner Ex-Freundinnen hatte ein 2CV Kombi…👍😘😀🎸🙏🙏👌 ‼️Ich liebte das Fahren , die Entschleunigung und den Genuss bei den Ausflügen sehr ❤️❤️❤️👍🙏. Und dieser Sound 🎸😀. 🦆.
An iconic minimalistic car built by brilliant French engineers.
C'est ma première voiture années 60 ,un must même à ce jour!
😮tzst
Este vídeo é uma pérola !!
Uma viatura concebida para estra ao alcance da generalidade das pessoas. Sem luxos, porém com o essencial.
Era espetacular velas curvar e manterem as "quarto patinhas" no asfalto😄
Tenho a idade para dizer o que sinto estando ., lúcido . Portugal tem um povo que se tiver um chefe PORTUGUÊS , faz de Portugal um país respeitado , agora da apertos de mão. //// SÓ Lamento. Rui Silva

That was great fun to watch this. It was like comedy where they turned the cabin over and transported it on the floor. But a great car having wonderful ideas.
... I bought my orange Citroén Dyane in 1985 for the princely some of £30, which included a new 'King pin' kit for the front wheels/steering... she lasted about 4 to 5 years until the floor rotted away... apart from fitting the King pins (bastard of a job), a new alternator and yearly services that's all I had to do... sold her on for £30 less the alternator... cheapest, best car I've ever had the pleasure of owning and driving... RIP Dyane
Une fabrication simple on peut emploier le mot fabrication pour cette voiture sans chichi mais sa longévité en ferai pâlir d autres logeable économique résistance simple ❤❤❤
J ai oublier décapotable fiable et la liste peut être longue❤❤❤
Wow, it's sure a safe car.
You can tell by the heavyweight metal used to protect the people inside.
Do you work for Euroncap? Joyful thing but if you made it weigh 2 tons it wouldn't go, which they did - remarkably well.
La meilleur des fabrication 100% fais main.
La bonne époque.
Quand on regarde les usines d'aujourd'hui ils ont tellement de machines et de robots partout qu'il y a plus beaucoup de place.
Mais la ont vois bien que c'est moins chargés dans leurs usines et que la fabrication de cette voiture est fais en grosse majorité par des ouvriers et non par des machines
Moments of note.
1:30 and 6:42 Hanging the rear doors.
5:20 Personal steering wheel and column
7:04 NSR (in France) sidelight fault
9:55 How much greener we would be if cars were still like that.
And if it breaks down, you can carry it home. (Almost.) 😉
Thank you for making this video, it completes my experience when I fitted a new chassis to a Charleston some years ago.
Interessante a fabricação desse carro, muito trabalho manual, quase artesanal e zero ergonomia. Uma pena que nunca tivemos esse carrinho no Brasil, seria bem legal.
Concordo, mas pode ser possível fazer novamente no Brasil. Com certeza a Citroen ainda tem os moldes da carroceria e outros componentes.
@@Cinesian As leis de emissões e segurança não permitiriam fabricar o carro de jeito que era. Teria que ser um projeto novo e seria muito caro, fugindo do objetivo original. Resta só a admiração nos vídeos da net.
The very wonderful car. I want 2cv.Hello from Russia !!!
Fantastic car. Literally hand made. I've had 2 so far.
Bueno, bonito y barato. Así los queremos hoy.
In 1974 a 2CV in Sicily, with 2 men and 2 womans move by France for a long great tour
2CV's were made until 2008? Wow. I remember them when I was in France in1964.
27th July 1990 was when the last 2CV rolled off the production line
The steering column routine is brilliant. At 5:20 in video.
Thank for sharing that wonderful video. The music fitted it perfectly
Muy bueno Saludos desde 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Love the phase 1 Citroen AX at the end
Aussi rocambolesque qu'un film de Jacques Tati 😁 🤎 2CV
J avais une 2cv6 modele 1981 club spécial de couleur orange avec des feux avant rectangulaires
Das nenne ich mal Handarbeit. Sehr interessant. Ich wußte gar nicht das die Ente in Portugal gebaut wurde.
Außer in Frankreich auch in Belgien, Portugal, Spanien, Argentinien - Varianten auch in Iran, in Griechenland, Jugoslawien, Laos, Vietnam - vielleicht fehlt da noch was, in Afrika wurden auch einige montiert.
arte puro.
Today a mint condition cv2 worth more than when it was produced, its a investment
Como amo ese auto! ! !😍
Belle époque pour une voiture magique, champêtre et poétique. Souvenirs 😄
Voyez les voitures BURTON aux Pays-Bas.... sur base de 2CV ! Le rêve !
Vehículos de fabricación artesanal.
Veel plezier van gehad 2cv4 om gebouwd naar 2cv6 fijne auto veiligheid airbags dat telden nog niet. Fijne auto sempatiek model. En de 2cv6 heeft de opvolger overleeft.
I've always wanted a 2CV
Piękne, proste i niezawodne autko !
Eine von der beste Auto der Welt 🌎
Tu m'a mis la tête comme 1 double.... Ciao
They should make those again everybody would buy one
One of the legends. Nice and interesting.
EL MEJOR COCHE PARA CIRCULAR POR TERRENOS MUY IRREGULARES , SIN DUDA ALGUNA
Je ne savais pas qu'ils avaient des caméras en 1850.....! 😊😊
Elle aurait pu continuer sa carrière dans les pays pauvres bresil affrique de bon souvenir de ma jeunesse les PRIX vont encore grimper dommage c etait la voiture du smicard
Il fabrique pas la camionnette aussi. ? Elle était pratique pour charger des bricoles.
Hoy 2022 si Lo Volvieran a Fabricar con misma Matticeria y a Nafta mismo motor c turbo.. seria un Exito.
alguno se ha mandado el experimento de mandarle un turbo, lo banca bien, lo que no banca mucho es el resto, el auto está hecho para andar como mucho a 130 km/h, arriba de eso se vuelve bastante inestable, en manos de los conductores actuales sería causal de accidentes con seguridad, no creo que nadie quiera a un Ralph Nader moderno hablando pestes del 2cv, jejeje, necesitaría neumáticos con más pisada y la barra estabilizadora del Ami 8 por lo menos.
👍🥇🥇🥇simple and goodcar they were also renault 4 !
A principio pensaba que est a une broma ! Me gusta este auto.
Wahnsinn....
Echt krass wie die das Auto zusammen gebaut hatten.
Ez egy történelmi jelenlét a győztes oldalon !
Egy Berlingó tulajdonos.
Muhteşem bi kağıt helva çocukken çok severdim😂👍👍👍⚘️❤️🤚🤚🤚
Siempre me gusto tener uno y por circunstancia de la vida no lo tuve.
6:10. That's not a bonnet. It's an engine cover flap. Perfect for the job it needs to do. Pedestrian friendliness at its best.
