Very Spartan but technologically advanced on it's debut. The car was always intended to inexpensive, tough light weight, yet still capable of coping with difficult terrain. Basically a car that thrived on neglect. Originally launched with a 375 cc air cooled engine and increased to 425cc. Updated in 1960 losing the corrugated sheet metal work the car looked basically the same until the end of production. In 1970 a larger 602 cc engine was introduced replacing a 435 cc unit. For the final two years of production 1988-90 moved from France to Portugal. There were numerous special edition models.
From 1979 Citroen produced a number of special edition models. The Dolly was introduced in 1985 and featured two tone colours, in this case Plum and Custard. Using the Special model as a base for the Dolly with interior upgrades as well as the two tone paint schemes

Made until 1988 at the Levallois plant North West, Paris but continued in Portugal until 1990. Originally introduced with a 375cc HO2 engine, increased to 425cc and finally 602cc. One of the few makes of car to have gone on to achieve cult status.
In 1936, Pierre-Jules Boulanger, the vice-president of Citroën and chief of the Engineering and Design department, set the brief to his design team at the Bureau d'études. The TPV (Toute Petite Voiture — "Very Small Car") was to be developed at Michelin facilities at Clermont-Ferrand and at Citroën in Paris under chief engineer André Lefèbvre , his own speciality being chassis design. By 1939 the TPV was deemed ready, after 47 differing prototypes had been built. During the summer of 1939 a pilot run of 250 cars was produced and on 28 August 1939 the car finally received French market homologation and the car was schedualed to make its public debut at the 1939 Paris Motorshow which was cancelled due to the impending war. The project, which had developed in some secrecy was shelved and the cars either hidden, disguised or destroyed during the years of occupation. André Lefèbvre had in the meantime decided to abandon the water cooled engine and breifed Walter Becchia to design an air-cooled unit, still of two cylinders, and still of 375cc. Other changes included seats with tubular steel frames with rubber band springing and a restyling of the body. further delays ensued in 1944 caused by the incoming socialist Government. The 2CV was finally launched at the 1948 Paris Salon (Motorshow) to great acclaim and Citroen were flooded with orders, over the years the 375cc engine grew to its final 602cc and vans and pick ups, were built, while the car developed into many different forms
The Beachcomber Special edition was introduced in 1983, white with navy blue wavy stripes. (known in France as the France 3) a limited number were built to commemorate the French entry in the Americas Cup yatch race, with France 3, Citroen donated money from each one sold to the team.
