The Citroën 2CV 6, a major evolution
The Citroën 2CV 6 debuted in 1970, marking an important milestone in the evolution of the legendary "Deux Chevaux". This version is distinguished by its air-cooled 602 cm³ two-cylinder engine, developing 29 horsepower, which is more powerful than previous versions. This technical improvement allows for a top speed of 115 km/h, significantly enhancing the performance of this iconic model.
The yellow with black stripes livery represents one of the most appreciated color combinations of the 2CV. This dynamic and modern aesthetic perfectly reflects the spirit of the 1970s, a period when Citroën diversified its color proposals to attract a younger clientele. The longitudinal stripes, applied to the sides and hood, give the car a sporty and distinctive character that sets it apart from more subdued versions.
Citroën in the 1970s: innovation and boldness
During this period, Citroën underwent a phase of intense creativity under the leadership of André Citroën and then Pierre Bercot. The chevron-marked brand continued its policy of technological innovation with revolutionary models such as the DS and SM while maintaining the 2CV as a cornerstone of its popular range. This dual strategy allowed Citroën to cover the entire French automobile market.
The French company, founded in 1919, has always cultivated the art of differentiation. Whether it's hydraulic suspensions, cutting-edge technical solutions, or bold designs, Citroën stands out as a unique manufacturer in the global automotive landscape. The Citroën collection showcases this creative richness through its multiple variations.
The anecdote of the 2CV and the fashion phenomenon
In the 1970s-1980s, the Citroën 2CV experienced a fascinating sociological phenomenon. Originally designed as a utility vehicle for farmers and the working classes, it gradually became a symbol of freedom and protest for urban youth. Students, artists, and intellectuals embraced this automobile, seeing it as the antithesis of the materialistic values of the time.
This social metamorphosis was accompanied by a true creative explosion in customizations. Owners competed in imagination to decorate their "Deudeuches": psychedelic paintings, activist stickers, colorful stripes like on our yellow and black model. Some 2CVs became true rolling works of art, transformed into vehicles of personal expression.
The automotive industry quickly became aware of this phenomenon. Citroën then launched special editions in bright colors, offering bold combinations like Helios yellow with black stripes, as seen in our miniature. These colorful versions met with phenomenal success, proving that the 2CV had definitively transcended its original purpose to become a genuine social phenomenon.
This period also marked the peak of the 2CV in French popular culture. It appeared in numerous films, became the heroine of comic strips, and even inspired songs. The "Deuche" established itself as a symbol of the French art of living, blending simplicity, friendliness, and joy of living.

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.

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).
