The Original Model: A 2CV of the Time
The Citroën 2 CV 4 SPOT was launched in 1976 as part of a marketing strategy aimed at rejuvenating the image of the venerable Deudeuche. This special series featured bright, contrasting colors, breaking away from the usual sobriety of shades offered on the 2CV. The orange and white created a particularly dynamic combination, reflecting the spirit of the seventies.
Technically, this version retained the air-cooled 602 cm³ two-cylinder engine developing 29 horsepower, characteristic of 2CVs of the time. Its longitudinal torsion bar suspension and hammock seats provided that unique comfort that had earned the model its reputation since its inception.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
