Over the years there have been several 'special edition' 2CV models, one of the best known being the Charleston. Launched in October 1980 as a one-season-only model, the Charleston was so well received that it was incorporated into the regular range almost immediately. A change of carburettor boosted engine output to 29bhp, giving the Charleston a top speed of around 115 km/h (71 mph) while other improvements included inboard front disc brakes and a new rear-view mirror. A Charleston was the last car off the 2CV production line when Portuguese manufacture ceased in July 1989.
One of the last French-built 2CVs, this Charleston was purchased in 1987 by the Citroën dealer Claude Hotz of Fleurier in the Swiss Jura. Mr Hotz's wife had given birth to a daughter that same year, and his intention was to keep the 2CV until his daughter was old enough to drive it. Having stored the car for 18 years, Mr Hotz presented it to his daughter on her 18th birthday, only for her to say that she did not want it! Disappointed, Claude Hotz sold the car to the current owner, since when it has been stored and never driven. All fluids have been replaced regularly and this remarkable 2CV Charleston remains in effectively 'as new' condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a FIVA identity card, Swiss Pruefungsbericht (proofing report) and Form 13.20A.
Dating from the Belle Époque, the Renault TYPE CH shares certain design similarities with the horse-drawn vehicles of the 1900s. Featuring a sporty single-phaeton body, the CH has a resolutely athletic air with its short and narrow chassis and boasts the elegance and refinement of a high-end model.
