Solved - MJW #627 - Citroen 2CV Spyder Normande by Touzet 1958
« on: October 05, 2011, 12:32:38 PM »
Another one I've tried to make Google Image proof.
Once again I'll post the original image when it's solved.

What was this car called, what was it based on and when was it built?
One point for the full and complete answer.

That's correct but I have the year (of conversion) as a few years later.
Locked for you to come up with the year.

Not quite - I have it as 1958.
However I'll give you the point as you have clearly identified the car (it is for sale currently described as a 2CV Normandy).

Thanks for that additional information PJ.
I guess it should be renamed Citroen 2CV Normande by Touzet 1958?

This car is featured also in Bellu's book "Toutes les Citroens"...if someone has got it, it can be verified.  :)

It looks much better from the front.
Perhaps due to the original curved windscreen?
