This Citroën 2CV 6 white with red stripes by Norev perfectly captures the festive and popular spirit of the iconic "Deuche". Adorned with the inscription "Rudolph", this miniature evokes Christmas decorations and showcases the creativity of 2CV owners in customizing their vehicles.
Crafted with Norev's renowned expertise, this 1/43 scale model naturally fits into any collection dedicated to French automotive icons, reminding us of the era when the 2CV was a symbol of a France in motion.
The Citroën 2CV 6 represents the culmination of the evolution of the 2CV, which was initially launched in 1948. This version, marketed from 1970, is distinguished by its two-cylinder engine of 602 cm³ producing 29 horsepower, significantly more powerful than earlier versions. This more generous engine allowed the 2CV to finally keep pace with modern traffic while maintaining its legendary sobriety.
The decorative stripes like those reproduced on this miniature were very popular in the 1970s-80s, a time when automotive customization was on the rise. These colorful ornaments, often applied by dealers or owners themselves, added a modern touch to the timeless silhouette of the 2CV.
Despite its pre-war design, the 2CV 6 managed to capture a new generation of drivers, becoming a symbol of freedom and authenticity against the increasing standardization of the automobile.
When the 2CV 6 was on our roads, Citroën was undergoing a period of profound transformation. Acquired by Peugeot in 1976, the brand with the chevrons needed to reconcile its legacy of technical innovation with profitability imperatives. Ironically, the 2CV, which had become technologically anachronistic, found a second wind thanks to its retro charm.
This era also marked the peak of characterful vehicles at Citroën, with the DS still alongside the 2CV in showrooms. The brand cultivated a unique image in the French automotive landscape, combining technical avant-garde with popular simplicity, represented by these two iconic models.
The inscription "Rudolph" on this 2CV takes us back to the festive atmosphere of the 1980s, a time when decorating vehicles for the holidays was common. 2CV owners, known for their creativity and festive spirit, did not hesitate to transform their "Deuche" into a true carnival float.
This tradition of festive customization was particularly vibrant during 2CV gatherings, where one could see vehicles decorated with the most varied themes. The reference to Rudolph, Santa Claus's red-nosed reindeer, reflects the playful spirit characterizing the "deux-chevistes" community.
These temporary decorations, often made with simple means, perfectly mirrored the philosophy of the 2CV: accessible, friendly, and close to the people. They also contributed to the French automotive folklore, making each decorated 2CV an improvised street spectacle.
Today, these customized versions have become valuable witnesses of an era when the automobile was still seen as a means of personal expression rather than a mere standardized consumer object.
This 2CV 6 Norev fits perfectly into the realm of Citroën 2CV miniatures, where it shares space with other versions of the legendary "Deuche". It also finds its place alongside other French miniatures representing the golden age of our automotive industry.
Collectors passionate about the 1970s and 1980s will particularly appreciate this reproduction, which harmonizes perfectly with other models from these decades. It also makes a marvelous addition to Norev collections, renowned for their historical fidelity and quality finishing.
This miniature will appeal to both nostalgics of the 2CV and collectors seeking original and expressive models, witnesses of an era when French automobiles still cultivated their uniqueness and character.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.
The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
