Hmm. Perhaps it was 4years ago...memory gets a bit fuzzy after all this time.
Also through the lens of fuzzy memory I seem to remember at the time the CEO of Citroen was a big bloke, and wouldn’t approve any design without a high roof, hence most Citroen’s at the time were rather tall. 2CV had to be drivable by farmers full of god knows what on roads and across ploughed fields...which remembering French roads at that time was pretty much the same thing. Used to stick to the roads like s**t, probably rather alarming to oncoming traffic as it cornered er well the opposite to what motorbikes, do leaning outwards.
They hold a surprising amount of stuff, I remember arriving in a campsite being watched by a bemused Dutchman as we disgorged two kids, loads of camping stuff, table stove and suchlike, a big frame tent, and then took out the seats which made nice comfortable camping furniture. One design issue was that with the roof down, the cross bar just behind the drivers head tended to swat wasps Which landed angrily down the drivers neck!
