The Citroën 2CV was an economy car, from 1948 to 1990. Conceived by Citroën Vice-President Pierre Boulanger to help motorise the large number of farmers still using horses and carts in 1930s France designed by André Lefèbvre and Flaminio Bertoni. It was at the 1948 Paris Salon de l'Automobile, it has an air-cooled engine that is mounted in the front driving the front wheels. The 2CV has a combination of innovative engineering and straightforward, utilitarian bodywork and was relatively cheap to maintain, and economical to run.
Production at Citroën's plant in Slough, England was from 1953 to 1960. Until then British construction and use regulations made cars with inboard front brakes such as the 2CV illegal. Producing the car in Britain allowed Citroën to circumvent trade barriers and to sell cars in the British Empire and Commonwealth. It achieved some success in these markets, to the extent that all Slough-built 2CVs were fitted with improved air cleaners and other modifications to suit the rough conditions found in Australia and Africa, where the 2CV's durability and good ride quality over rough roads attracted buyers.
