1975 Citroen 2CV 6
By Team Dailyrevs February 4, 2025
Citroën is marking the 75th anniversary of its iconic 2CV, a car that defined affordability and practicality in the automotive world. Launched at the Paris Motor Show on October 7, 1948, the 2CV became one of the most successful models in automotive history, with a total of 5,114,969 units produced by the time production ended in 1990. The 2CV 6 variant, particularly from 1975, remains a standout for its unique design and legacy.
The Genesis of the 2CV: The ‘TPV’ Project
The foundation for the 2CV was laid in 1936 under the ‘TPV’ (Très Petite Voiture, or very small car) project. Designed to offer an affordable and efficient solution for low-income individuals, the TPV prototype was a lightweight, versatile vehicle capable of carrying four people and 50 kg of luggage. This early version demonstrated the innovative spirit that would become synonymous with the 2CV, showcasing features like the ability to carry a basket of eggs over rough terrain without breaking them.
