AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HISTORY/OVERVIEW
Beautiful and very rare Citroën 2CV Sahara, an icon of motoring registered with ASI. The car has belonged to the same family for over 52 years (purchased in 1974) and underwent a complete restoration finished about 10 years ago, aimed at preserving its absolute originality in every part. Together with the car, the original brochure from the period will be included.
BODYWORK / PAINT
During the restoration, the chassis was detached from the body to allow complete rust removal and flawless repainting. The current condition of the paint and external components (glass, chrome, and seals) reflects the care of the work performed. There are no structural damages or need for welding. The tires are in good condition and suitable for the car's use.
MECHANICS
The car has been restored while preserving its original dual-engine configuration. The overall mechanicals are efficient; however, two small interventions are noted as necessary:
- Revision of the front starter motor, which does not always engage correctly with the crown.
- Replacement of the headlight switch (the new spare part has already been purchased and is supplied with the car, as seen in the photo).
The gearbox and the rest of the transmission operate as expected.
INTERIORS
The interiors have been restored faithfully to the original specifications of the Sahara model. The seats, door panel coverings, and headliner are in excellent condition, with no tears or evident damage. The electrical components and interior controls were checked during the restoration to ensure proper function, with the exception of the aforementioned headlight switch awaiting installation.
The vehicle is located in Salò (BS) and the periodic inspection will take place during April.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
