This Citroën 2CV Miss Lucky miniature in 1/43 scale captures the very essence of the iconic "Deudeuche" in a particularly appealing version. Faithfully reproducing the signature lines of this legendary model, this collector's piece showcases the craftsmanship of automotive miniature manufacturers.
Designed for discerning collectors and lovers of French cars, this model replica is a must-have for any collection dedicated to French automotive heritage.
Launched in 1948 at the Paris Motor Show, the Citroën 2CV revolutionized the French automotive landscape. Designed by André Lefèbvre and Flaminio Bertoni, the car met the ambitious brief set by Pierre-Jules Boulanger: create a vehicle able to "carry four people and 50 kg of potatoes at 60 km/h while using 3 litres per 100 kilometres".
With its air-cooled twin-cylinder engine and its revolutionary interconnected torsion bar suspension, the 2CV stood out for its mechanical simplicity and robustness. Its corrugated sheet-metal body and its reverse-hinged doors quickly became distinctive features recognizable among all.
Produced in more than 5 million examples until 1990, the "Deuche" weathered the decades by adapting to social change, becoming in turn a utility vehicle, a symbol of freedom and an object of automotive cult worship.
Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the brand with the chevrons positioned itself from the outset as a pioneer of automotive innovation. A visionary, André Citroën revolutionized the French car industry by importing American mass-production methods, thus making car ownership accessible to many.
In the postwar years, Citroën pursued its innovative philosophy with bold models such as the Traction Avant, followed by the 2CV. The latter fit perfectly within the brand's social vision: offering affordable mobility to the greatest number of people. At the same time, the company developed a modern sales network and invested in communication, making Citroën a popular and endearing brand.
The period in which the 2CV was created was the golden age of Citroën innovation, which would continue with the DS in 1955, confirming the brand's ability to revolutionize automotive conventions.
The "Miss Lucky" version of this miniature pays tribute to one of the most famous 2CVs in French cinema. In the film "La Course à l'échalote" by Claude Zidi (1975), this yellow Citroën 2CV becomes the four-wheeled heroine of a zany comedy alongside Pierre Richard and Jane Birkin.
This particular 2CV marks the height of the "Deuche"'s popularity in French popular culture. The choice of bright yellow and the "Miss Lucky" stickers turn this utility car into a true fictional character, with an endearing personality and irresistible charm.
Beyond its cinematic role, this version perfectly illustrates the spirit of personalization that characterizes the 2CV. Unlike more prestigious cars, the "Deuche" encouraged its owners' creativity, becoming a canvas for artistic expression and originality. From psychedelic floral decorations to political messages and advertising versions, every 2CV tells its own story.
This capacity for cultural adaptation partly explains the model's exceptional longevity and its status as a cross-generational icon, transcending mere automotive considerations to become a symbol of freedom and authenticity.
This Citroën 2CV Miss Lucky naturally finds its place at the heart of a collection dedicated to French car miniatures. It blends perfectly with other iconic models from French automotive heritage, creating a cohesive ensemble that represents the history of French cars.
Collectors will especially appreciate how it complements other Citroën miniatures, notably versions of the Citroën DS or the Traction Avant. This combination makes it possible to rebuild the stylistic and technical evolution of the brand with the chevrons.
Whether you are a fan of classic cars from the 1950s to 1970s, a collector of 1/43 scale miniatures, or a lover of 1970s models, this Citroën 2CV Miss Lucky is a valuable addition that will enrich your collection while evoking an era when French cars shone for their originality and accessibility.

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.
