Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1985 Citroen 2CV6 Special, affectionately known as the Tin Snail, features a deliberate 'rat rod' aesthetic. It's a mechanically sound daily driver with a recent MOT, but its unique styling may appeal to a specific buyer looking for a fun, attention-grabbing runabout.

A masterpiece of minimalist design, the finished ‘umbrella on wheels’ was made from mostly flat stamped panels, cheap and easy to repair, and was held together with just 16 bolts.
The roof and (initially) the boot lid were made of canvas.
Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine eventually grew to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption wer...
