This Citroën 2 CV Pick-up Trans Afrique 94 miniature captures one of the most iconic vehicles in French motoring adventure. A faithful replica of a one-of-a-kind rally-raid machine that left its mark on the history of long-distance expeditions, this collector's piece embodies the spirit of adventure that defines the legendary Deudeuche.
Designed for passionate car collectors and fans of historic French automobiles, this miniature stands as an authentic tribute to the ingenuity and boldness that built Citroën's reputation in the most extreme competitions.
The 1994 Citroën 2 CV Pick-up Trans Afrique is the culmination of a bold transformation of the iconic Deudeuche. Purpose-built to tackle Africa's most punishing terrain, this pick-up version combines the legendary mechanical simplicity of the 2 CV with the modifications needed to survive extreme conditions.
Fitted with a reinforced load bed, extra fuel tanks and specialised navigation equipment, this competition 2 CV could carry equipment and supplies across thousands of kilometres of African tracks. Its air-cooled twin-cylinder engine, renowned for its reliability and ease of repair, was a major asset in regions where technical assistance was often limited to the driver's own resourcefulness.
This particular version belongs to the long tradition of Trans-Africa raids, proving that performance is measured not only in horsepower, but also in endurance and the ability to adapt to the harshest conditions.
In 1994, Citroën was going through a major period of transition. The chevron brand, then under the PSA Group, sought to reconcile its heritage of technical innovation with the demands of the modern market. It was in this context that projects such as the 2 CV Trans Afrique took on real meaning, carrying forward the pioneering spirit that had built the brand's reputation.
Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the marque had always stood out for its revolutionary approach to the automobile. From the Traction Avant to the DS, and including the iconic 2 CV launched in 1948, Citroën constantly pushed the boundaries of automotive engineering. This philosophy of innovation naturally extended to exploration and competition projects, where production vehicles were adapted to push their own limits.
Citroën's involvement in rallies and expeditions was part of a broader strategy of technological demonstration, showing that engineering solutions developed for everyday use could also excel in the most extreme conditions.
The story of the Trans-Africa raids in the 2 CV begins in the 1960s, when bold adventurers set out to prove that the humble Deudeuche could conquer the African continent. These extraordinary expeditions gradually turned a people's car into a legend of motoring adventure.
The most famous of these raids remains the one organised by Jacques Séguéla and his friends in 1973, immortalised in the film "Raid Paris-Persepolis". This epic journey demonstrated that the 2 CV, despite its apparent simplicity, had exceptional qualities for exploration: light weight, economy, ease of repair and the ability to cross obstacles that more powerful vehicles could not overcome.
These raids helped forge the popular legend of the 2 CV, transforming what was originally designed as a car for the French middle classes into a universal symbol of freedom and adventure. Images of these small French cars crossing the Sahara dunes or climbing the passes of the Atlas left a lasting mark on the collective imagination.
The Trans Afrique 94 version belongs to this heroic tradition, representing the technical culmination of decades of experience in hostile terrain. Every modification made to this pick-up drew on the knowledge accumulated by previous generations of adventurers, making this vehicle a concentrate of French know-how and ingenuity.
This Citroën 2 CV Pick-up Trans Afrique 94 holds a special place in the world of French car miniatures. It perfectly complements a collection dedicated to Citroën 2CV model cars, offering a distinctive variant of this mythical model. Its rarity and exceptional character make it a prized piece for discerning collectors.
To further enrich your collection, this miniature pairs remarkably well with other rally model cars and French model cars from the same era. It also sits comfortably alongside light commercial vehicle miniatures and 1990s miniatures.
This miniature appeals as much to collectors specialising in French automobiles as to fans of adventure and rally-raid. It is also an excellent starting point for discovering the world of Citroën model cars, showcasing the richness and diversity of the chevron brand's automotive heritage. Displayed in a showcase, it instantly evokes the pioneering spirit and daring that mark the finest chapters of French automotive history.

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.
