1973 Citroen 2CV sells for $10,099 on Bring a Trailer — was it a deal?
The 1973 Citroën 2CV Fourgonnette sold for $10,099, and that’s strong money for this quirky classic.
The 2CV Fourgonnette is a charming little workhorse from Citroën, known for its practical design and unique flat-twin engine. This particular model features a four-speed manual transaxle and shows just 51,000 kilometers (about 32,000 miles) on the odometer. That low mileage is a big plus for collectors looking for a solid investment. The vehicle has been refurbished since arriving in the U.S. in 1999 and boasts a distinctive yellow and black paint job that adds character. The rebuilt 602cc engine and upgraded DG Nition electronic ignition system mean it’s not just a pretty face; it’s ready to hit the road reliably.
The bidding on this Citroën was lively, with 30 bids pushing the final price to $10,099. Given the mileage, condition, and rarity of this model, that price seems justified. While there’s no specific fair value estimate provided, the competitive bidding indicates strong interest in this vehicle. It’s clear that buyers recognized the value of a low-mileage, well-maintained example of this unique classic.
The community had its say, too. One comment caught my eye: @MarcosCHI mentioned connections to other Citroën owners, showing there’s a tight-knit community around these cars. That kind of camaraderie adds to the appeal of owning a vintage vehicle like this 2CV.
For anyone eyeing a similar model, remember that condition is key. Make sure the engine is in good shape and check the maintenance history. Look for signs of rust, especially in the body and undercarriage, as this can be a common issue with older cars. Finding a model that has been well cared for, like this Fourgonnette, will pay off in the long run.
