An all original 'Michel Fournet 1965/1985' Citroen 2CV6 Charleston with a genuine 12. 17 miles (20. 88 km) from new.

I have owned this car since 1998 and am very sad to be selling it but I am moving overseas and the international shipping costs. import duties and required modifications in the country I am moving to make taking it with me a costly proposition.

Michel Fournet was a specialist who took brand new 2CVs fresh from the Citroen factory and moved the entire car onto an early. refurbished chassis such that for purposes of being imported into the US the vehicle registration would take the VIN number and date of manufacture of the chassis. which was old enough to be exempt from then current importation restrictions on new vehicles. In this way what you got was a brand new car on an early chassis that could be legally registered as an early (exempt) vehicle. One other specialist company. Escargot Motors. was also well known in Citroen circles for offering a similar service. As an added bonus. the earlier chassis were far stronger than Citroen's later ones. so you truly got the best of both worlds with this approach. a brand new car but on the much stronger earlier chassis. I personally owned three previous 2CVs overseas. all later models (a Beachcomber and two Charlestons) and although all were wonderful cars. the chassis on each gave out long before the rest of the vehicle ever would have done. Not so with the Fournet early/late (and presumably also the Escargot Motors) vehicles. Most Fournet 2CVs had blue painted chassis but a limited numbers had green or orange - mine is orange.

The one previous owner was a Citroen enthusiast and also babied the car. I sincerely doubt that there are many. if any. other low mileage original 2CVs like this to be found anywhere in the US.

** Clarification - some people have asked when the car was restored or how extensive the restoration was. this car is original not restored. Technically. the process of putting these brand new cars onto refurbished pre-1968 chassis allowed them to be classified as restored pre-1968 vehicles for import purposes (exempt from the regulations that would otherwise have governed their import) so technically you could refer to this as a restored car. However. beyond putting it on the 1965 chassis when it was brand new. nbsp;this 2CV is all original not a restoration.

Please post any questions or requests for specific additional photographs.

Fournet 2CV6 Charleston prices range from $14K to $22K - even though mine is probably one of the very best available it is aggressively priced for a quick sale at only the mid-point of the price range
