The Original Model: Renaissance of a Legend

In 1985, as the Citroën 2 CV approached its final years of production, the brand with the chevrons decided to give it a memorable swan song with the special Dolly series. This version stands out with its two-tone livery, breaking away from the usual sobriety of the "Deuche". The concept was revolutionary for its time: to offer a 2 CV with a resolutely modern and attractive aesthetic.

The Dolly maintained the entire philosophy of the original 2 CV: mechanical simplicity, remarkable habitability, and economical usage, while adding a unique aesthetic dimension. Under the hood, the faithful flat-twin 602 cc engine delivered 29 horsepower, enough to keep the relaxed spirit of this unlike any other automobile.

This special series achieved a notable commercial success, proving that even a car nearing the end of its career could still attract fans through clever marketing. The Dolly became one of the most sought-after versions of the 2 CV, a symbol of French creativity in automotive design.

Citroën in the 1980s: Between Tradition and Modernity

In the mid-1980s, Citroën was undergoing a pivotal moment in its history. The brand, under PSA group control since 1976, had to reconcile its heritage of innovation with modern commercial imperatives. While models like the BX revolutionized the family segment, the 2 CV still represented the brand's historical soul.

This period marked the end of an era for Citroën. The 2 CV, born in 1948, had traversed four decades embodying the démocratisation of the automobile. The creation of the Dolly series reflects the desire to honor this heritage before the final closure of production lines in 1990. The company sought to maintain the emotional attachment of the French to this mythical car while developing its new modern range.
