27 July 1990 Œ at 4 oçclock; the end of an era |
 |
The 2 CV production line in France closed in February
1989. With lifetime sales of 3,868,633 units, the last
2 CV came out of the Mangualde plant in Portugal on 27
July 1990 - at 4 oçclock. This marked the end of the
production history of this legendary vehicle Πand the
beginning of a new story, that of the 2 CV and its fans
through CitroÇn clubs.

paintwork in original colour combinations, such as vanilla

of their success, the èDolliesî also became standard

2CV Charleston |

The Charleston opened the special series in 1981. With
its 30s look featuring round headlamps and bordeaux and
black body paint, the model was an immediate success.
It soon became a standard production model, listed in
the Citroen catalogue from 1982.

2CV Retro? |

Is the 2CV making
a return? There are rumours circulating about a retro
2CV, following the retro MINI and the retro Fiat 500.
You can downlod a - maybe too simple - paper model here.

2CV Caravan? |
 |
In former years you saw them more often, small caravans
made from the rear side of a 2CV AK 400. This model will
fit to the 2CV paper models found on this site. For a
different color, feel free to mail
me.

Papercraft - Build your own paper car - hours and hours
of fun......
On these pages you find relatively simple paper models of the
Citroen 2CV, in the various versions and various colors they
appeared on the market. Having children and driving a 2Cv myself,
there was a growing demand to have a paper 2CV. I browsed the
web but was not satisfied with the paper models found, which
were either beautiful
but complex (at least for a 5 year old) or a little overly
simplified. So I started to build one myself, keeping it
simple but with enough detail.
OK, I admit, I went a little overboard. You now find paper
models of 2CV AZ, AZU, AK250, AK350, AK400, the Dyane, the
2CV TPV, even a pick-up variant of the 2CV, and newly added
a 2CV 2007 Retro version. The Mehari is in preparation. It
is fun to do. I simply cannot stop.
For the 2CV, I tried to keep up with the major changes, as
much as detectable from the various Citroen
brochures. After boiling it down to about eight versions,
the question came what color to apply. A realistic one, preferably.
Luckily Cats
citroen pages and the
Dutch Ami association gave some indication about Citroen
colors (you can find lists of AC colors but your typical photoshop
has no clue). Together with samples from photos (see for example
this beautiful DS/ID
page, this impressive AMI
page, or this nice Dyane
page) of real cars - as far as the number was identifyable
- resulted in the still growing overview on this page. At the
moment there are over 100 AC colors and over 200 paper 2CV
models to download.
The list still is far from complete, and I appreciate any help.
Feel free to comment
and suggest additional colors and/or details by sending
me color samples and/or images. Images of paper 2CV you've
build will be posted.
Enjoy
