I am the delighted owner of a 1967 Deux Chevaux living in Utah. Being that this isn't a common car around here, I immediately sought out all of the information that I could about it. Besides the How to Restore Citroen 2CV (Enthusiast?s Restoration Manuals) and the Citroen 2 Cylinder, 2CV Ami and Dyane 1967-90 Owner's Workshop Manual (Service & repair manuals), this book is the absolute must for a 2CV owner or lover. It is a great overview of the car from its inception to its untimely death in 1990. Full of large pictures, fun facts and the full story of this little car, this book will not disappoint anyone looking for more information on the tin snail. Beyond that, this book also includes information about the 2CV derivatives like the Mehari.

There aren't a lot of books out on the market on 2CV's so if you are looking for information you were probably likely to pick up this book anyway, but even if it weren't one of the few, I would highly recommend this one.

I had a 1967 Citroen 2CV6 Charleston at one time. Oh, I loved that car. Tears are filling up in my eyes just thinking about it. It was a beautiful two tone gray and every morning before I would take it for its daily "waddle" I would just run my hands over it...caressing it like a lover would with their beloved...

But, unfortunately my beautiful car was taken from me. There was a bit of a screwup down at customs. They told me that I had imported my "baby" illegally. Turns out I was scammed by a smooth talking exporter. I cried when I found out what my Citroen's fate was to be; death by crusher. I watched helplessly as it went up a long, steep ramp and then dropped into a crusher and killed instantly.

My heart sank and I've never been the same since.

I got this book because it is my intention to own another one of these great cars again but this time I will do it legally and properly. Sometimes I just sit there and I look at the pictures repeating a silent mantra of "Yes...Yes...Yes..."

Oh, I miss my duck...

I gotta go now...I've got something in my eye.
