The Citroën 2 CV 6 Dolly in automotive history
The 2 CV 6 Dolly debuted in 1985, in the final years of production of the mythical Deudeuche. This special version stands out with its bold two-tone body, a first in the history of the 2 CV. Citroën aimed to breathe new life into its flagship model amidst increasing competition from modern city cars.
Equipped with a 602 cm³ engine producing 29 horsepower, the Dolly retains all the technical features that made the 2 CV successful: its interconnected torsion bar suspension, its dashboard transmission, and its remarkably low fuel consumption. This two-tone version immediately found favor with a clientele attracted by its aesthetic originality.
Produced until 1988, two years before the definitive end of 2 CV production, the Dolly represents one of the last evolutions of a model that spanned four decades without ever compromising its fundamental principles.
Citroën during the Dolly era
In the mid-1980s, Citroën was undergoing a profound transformation. Integrated into the PSA group alongside Peugeot since 1976, the brand with the chevrons had to navigate the rationalization of its range while preserving its bold technical identity. The 2 CV 6 Dolly fits into this initiative of valuing Citroën's heritage.
This period saw the coexistence of the last representatives of the revolutionary Citroën era - the 2 CV and the CX - alongside new models born from the PSA strategy, like the BX launched in 1982. The Dolly embodies the desire to celebrate the brand's heritage while moving towards a new industrial era.
The introduction of special versions like the Dolly also reflects the evolution of the French automotive market, where customization and originality became essential selling points in the face of the increasing standardization of the industry.
The anecdote of the popular two-tone
The name "Dolly" for this two-tone 2 CV originates from the zeitgeist of the 1980s. This name evokes both the Barbie doll and its colorful universe, as well as the "fun" and relaxed spirit that characterizes this decade. Citroën thus rides the wave of the retro-chic trend that began to emerge.
One of the most delightful anecdotes about the Dolly lies in its aesthetic design. Citroën designers long debated between different color combinations before settling on black and beige as well as red and white, or even grey and black. Each two-tone version was internally nicknamed with a female name, with "Dolly" ultimately embodying the playful spirit of the project.
The Dolly quickly became a generational symbol, embraced by a young urban clientele who saw it as a means of expressing their individuality. In the streets of Paris, London, or Amsterdam, these two-tone 2 CVs established themselves as the beloved vehicles of a generation that rejected automotive uniformity while remaining grounded economically.
Today, original vintage Dollies have become highly sought-after collector's items, with their value continuously rising among 2 CV enthusiasts who see them as the aesthetic culmination of forty years of technical and stylistic evolution.

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).
