Sounds abit like a V6 revving up in 2nd gear, gotta love that noise, makes you feel your driving something a lot faster even though your only doing like 40 or 50mph, hee-haw can compare to that exaggerated feeling, pure class the 2cv and yeah Citroen will most likely not build something with quite so much creativity ,character and down right versatility as this, I mean look at it you can use it as a van, a pickup, a car, it has a full sunroof, easy to take apart, back seats came out on the originals, so practical for it's day and even today whilst it is undoubtedly very crude by modern car standards, it pioneered a lot of modern features that we now take for granted, the guys who designed this really put in some effort, shame Citroen don't have the quirkiness they were once so well renowned for, they were different and that was what made them interesting and gave people other options who wanted to be different than everyone else, only thing a 2cv needs in the modern world is a radio, and some airbags, really there's not much else the modern car has at it's disposal that you can't live without.
I love your videos! I plan to do such videos as well in near future. I have an XM and Xantia, my dad has some 2cv's. All of them are great to drive. :-)
Pedro, it’s deliberately offset like this to allow for comfortable cruising. You can put your left hand on the steering wheel spoke and your elbow on the door on straight roads where little turning of the wheel is required. It’s orientated this way on left-hand drive cars and the mirror image on right-hand drive versions.
Thanks, I don't know if it´s true but I've heard that this engine was built to be able to go at full speed all day with out damage it. It likes to rev too. Great engine.
When I had a GSA back in 83 the Citroen publicity for the air-cooled engines included stories of owners running their cars low on oil without damage. The message being the bearings were really over specced for the job
***** I live in Argentina, when they released the 3cv here a cars magazine made an event to prove the 3cvs durability, it went on a 6 hour long race, only stopping for refueling and changing drivers. Obviously there was not a huge difference between 2cv and 3cv, they're both little battle tanks :) My only dislike is that it tends to be a little noisy for my personal taste, but some insulating materials can be placed to reduce the noise. My favorite characteristic about these cars is the ability to go offroad with extreme ease (at its own pace). Thanks for uploading this, I've seen your Ami 8 video and the Citroen DS one, amazing. What's your opinion on the Renault 4?
s4n714g000 I love the Renault 4, it's alot more car than a Citroen A-model. The early Renault 4 has the best looking front. I guess it's more like a Peugeot 204 but with not as good handling as a Peugeot.
J'adore !! Elle déchire sa mémée cette deudeuche ! J'aime même le son du moteur qui n'est pas ridicule en régime élevé 👍 ( la caméra ne supporte apparemment pas les accélérations 2G 😁😉)
No self cancelling indicators, single speed wipers, fresh air through a flap under the windscreen, no interior light, no synchromesh on 1st gear, cruising speed of 50 mph, feeble headlights, but it did have a starting handle that you could start it with if the battery was flat. Drove one for 5 years and loved every minute.
The 2CV is the better "Jeep" ever made and moreover realy much comfortable ! And.. if a gouvernement would offer a new electrical 2 CV, today at a price between 2 Th. Euros or a Th. of Pounds to everyone i think we shouldn't have problems with ecological or road directives anymore !Une 2 cv (électrique ou... à alcool) pour chaque usager de la route et.. finis les problèmes de transports, les coûts de production (mais la voiture serait produite PARTOUT en Europe), bonjour la contribution écologique, la fin des accidents routiers mortels et vive la polyvalence ville / route ! Et pour les TRES PRESSES, il y aurait toujours le TGV ! Parce qu'il faut ARRETER avec les grosses routières, limousines allemandes (surtout), destructrices d'environnement (et pas seulement en raison de leur consommation, mais eu égard à leurs méthodes de production). Et puis... savez-vous que, pour construire les Volkswagen, un ouvrier de chaîne, moyen, "touche" aujourd'hui environ 468 Euros mensuels ! Pour 43 heures de travail !!!Vous... si vous en possédez une, savez combien elle vous a coûté (l'unité) alors... intéressez-vous UN PEU au calcul, pour deviner où passe la marge !?
the engine does need working hard to gain speed. but its a fantastic sounding engine its one of the strongest engines ever made run them flat out all day wont blow up not many can do that. citroen will never build a car like this again. fragile car but it can do alot of things a modern car cant do. eg go across a field without breaking an egg. such a simple car too. no radiotor. no distributor wasted spark system. and a top speed of 70mph mostly and still get 50mpg.
tack sa mycket - thanks a lot for the ride and the walk around of the car...it is a sweet vehicle...when my wife and I were in England, we drove a 2cv, red in color, but I did not think to make a foto of the interior. chuck maki in usa with ancestors from the west of finland...i know more people who speak swedish than finland (I assume you are swedish :)
When you want to put à 2cv in first gear make sure you really stand still! And when you want to put it in first gear first put it in second gear and then in one move directly in first gear! It's much better for your gear box and you won't hear any unpleasant sounds when you put iT in first gear! Nice video!
my dream ,driving , owning a 2 chevaux , my aunt had one in the 70' , gosh she drove it so fast so well in little sinuous hilly roads of rural Nornandy, that car was like on octopus on the road, the rides where so much fun !!!...thanks for the ride btw !
Conduite nerveuse et brutale. Pourquoi taper les portes en les fermant. A quoi sert de monter aussi haut la 1ère vitesse? Je prends soin de la mienne, heureusement.
+Nathan Dance We've owned a 2Cv. We never drove like that. It's no rave car. It isn't even a regular car, compared to a Polo or whatever, you cannot compete with others. You are in 4th gear at 40 km/h, that's fine. Others have brakes, too.
+Marko Amidzic UK Citroen 2CV Clubs were fitted with Square head lights - Specials , Dolly and Charleston came with Round head lights ! I still have and use my unrestored 1985 Dolly - Grey and White :)
The steering wheel has only one bar (arm). When riding straight, it should be directed exactly down (to the driver). The steering wheel holds a single nut - unscrew, pull out the steering wheel, fit the steering wheel correctly, tighten the nut, done.

I love sound of reving that engine
Beautiful car. The sound of a citroen flat 2 engine is amazing as well
First thing that jumped out at me. How does a 2 cylinder, in a car with basically no sound insulation, sound this sweet?
I ve seen 2cv Club and it was more popular than a f355 parked on the right side
Everybody likes it :)
2cv it is a legend of citroen
Une légende tout court :)
Nice video, I like it, thank you!
I love your videos! I plan to do such videos as well in near future. I have an XM and Xantia, my dad has some 2cv's. All of them are great to drive. :-)
Thank you! Citroens are the best :)
Y a niz de poules, pas grave. La 2CV passe dessus avec aucun effort. La voiture la plus confortable du monde !
Is the steering not alligned or is the wheel just in a weird position? It doesn't look right when you're driving.
It's just in the right position for a Citroen ;)

I really love these old Citroëns. It's the attraction of the simplicity....
in really good condition and you drive it making full use of the revs to keep up your momentum Thanks for posting

Citroen dyane 8 mooie auto prachtig
Rijdt perfect ❤🎉❤🎉❤
Such a great little car, simple and more character than anything else ever built (except maybe the original Mini) - nice video, thanks
Hi! Nice video! Thanks for posting!
I'm the owner of a 1986 2CV 6 Special.
How and where have you fixed the camera to make this video??
I use a tripod. It stands on the floor at the backseat. Works good but if you turn in to fast it tips over.
J'adore !! Elle déchire sa mémée cette deudeuche ! J'aime même le son du moteur qui n'est pas ridicule en régime élevé 👍 ( la caméra ne supporte apparemment pas les accélérations 2G 😁😉)
Gracias es lo que buscaba un sonido de dos cv sin comentarios sin música, solo el ruido del motor.
Citroen 2cv club.
Wat een mooie auto.
🎉❤ 🎉❤ 🎉❤
1 gear is the best- in all over a world there is no gearbox like that
First 2CV had A/C on dashboard. Just open the cover (lid) and get fresh air.
They all had the iconic front lid until 1990.
No self cancelling indicators, single speed wipers, fresh air through a flap under the windscreen, no interior light, no synchromesh on 1st gear, cruising speed of 50 mph, feeble headlights, but it did have a starting handle that you could start it with if the battery was flat. Drove one for 5 years and loved every minute.
Yes Show to millenials !!! Wan´t A/C?¿?? Open the flap. Look at their faces And laugh HAHAHA

V8 motor..hhhhh.. ??????.., 2CV,surely it's the best car in the world.
Is this car front wheel drive?
Every Citroen since the Traction Avant (1934) was launched have been FWD, exept for some commercial vehicles.
So, yes it is.
Qu'elle est belle et quel moteur ! Merci pour ce moment de pur bonheur.
why ? why people asks for more' more complications? more wires? more sensors? 2CV is freedom from problems.
Very beautifull 2 cv! I like the sound of the motor. Good road.. Fred
Ooh man. Everything about this car is perfect in my opinion. I will own one myself someday. I wish I had one now. :D
Saca muy larga las marchas...esfuerza mucho el motor... mal conductor

Troppo bella !
Beautiful condition . . Lovely engine. Best engine Citroen made.
I learn to drive with this car, i back to this days...
3erd gear is center pulling backwards.
hello I love the Citroen 2CV , you have a video of Renault 4 like this?
thanks!
tout les jours j'ai ce plaisir là!! la mienne est grise cormoran et est de 1983! c'est une 2cv mais 3cv fiscaux!!! attention!!!mdr
You said it! Greetings from Colombia!
i liked the citroen 2cv6 dolly.
Great car, congratulations 👍😊
👍💖
Tanto que los aceleran esos motores antiguos
The always say no to me if I ask it for the 2cv
80km/h....wow!!!...top speed
he mistakenly thinks it is a race car, but it isn't... I doubt that he warmed up the engine before, too
+GooglePlus Hater this is how you drive the 2cv, its very slow, you got to thrash the engine.

Yes you need to push it harder. But not when it's cold.
Rubbish. It's what you do with a tiny engine. He's driving it well
The engine was warm.
lovely car great ride out thanks
I LOVE YOU CITROEN 2CV!!!
0:07 - Is that a seat belt buzzer?
Shane Spencer It's for when the lights are on without the ignition turned on. Or the opposite.
I see.
Bravo!!
Good job

Beautiful car
sooo coool
love it ;)
Joli ...
Simplemente hermoso
A W E S O M E !!!
faen err'u norsk eller? :D
the lights aren't original
Why?
***** it isn't square
Jelle Buseyne They are original. The man who bought this car got it with round light and it's original.
Square lights are from Citroen Dyane
+Marko Amidzic UK Citroen 2CV Clubs were fitted with Square head lights - Specials , Dolly and Charleston came with Round head lights ! I still have and use my unrestored 1985 Dolly - Grey and White :)
Steering wheel incorrectly mounted
How do you mean?
4:26 you drive straight, but steering wheel about 70 degrees rotated
Still don't understand...
The steering wheel has only one bar (arm).
When riding straight, it should be directed exactly down (to the driver).
The steering wheel holds a single nut - unscrew, pull out the steering
wheel, fit the steering wheel correctly, tighten the nut, done.
Do you have a car like this?
too long every gear.... bad driver
