Description from the seller
Bodywork & Paintwork
This Citroën Burton Cabriolet is built with a polyester Burton body on a treated chassis, finished in the classic British Racing Green with body-colored wheels and whitewall tires. The body is equipped with an original Burton stainless steel luggage rack. The exterior is in nice, well-maintained condition, with a few light signs of use appropriate for the age and usage of the vehicle.
Mechanical & Technical Condition
Under the hood lies the well-known air-cooled 602 cc two-cylinder boxer engine from a 1981 Citroën 2CV6. During the Burton conversion in 2002 the engine was completely rebuilt; since then the car has driven less than 20,000 kilometers (odometer reading: 19,782 km). The engine starts and runs excellently, the gearbox shifts correctly and the driving behavior is light and lively. The technology is straightforward, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Interior & Accessories
The interior creates a stylish contrast with the red leather upholstery. The equipment includes two USB ports and a removable wooden steering wheel, which provides aesthetic value as well as extra security when parked. The car comes with various accessories, such as a tonneau cover with three zippers, an indoor protective cover, an outdoor heavy-duty cover with UV protection, a set of yellow license plates, a spare key, and various Burton gadgets.
Documentation & Other Information
The car has a documented history as a 1981 2CV6 with a conversion in 2002. There is an official appraisal report from Burton on file with an appraised value of €15,000. The car can be viewed and collected in Muiderberg (Netherlands); worldwide transport can be arranged.

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.
