1:24 Tamiya 25415 Citroën 2CV 1976 - French Classic Car Plastic Model kit

A charming body, round headlights and a distinctive roll-back canvas roof: the Citroën 2CV is one of the most recognisable French cars ever built. With the Tamiya 25415 Citroën 2CV 1976, you can recreate this much-loved classic as a detailed plastic model kit in 1:24 scale. Its simple yet ingenious construction, unusual suspension and compact two-cylinder engine make the famous 2CV a particularly interesting modelling subject. Tamiya has paid close attention to the authentic details, beautifully capturing the distinctive character of this iconic French car.

The Citroën 2CV was introduced in 1948 as an affordable, practical and reliable car for everyday use. Its original design was intended to carry four adults comfortably, even over the rough roads of the French countryside. Thanks to its air-cooled flat-twin engine, front-wheel drive and exceptionally soft suspension, the 2CV was easy to maintain and remarkably versatile. According to a famous story, the car was even expected to cross a ploughed field without breaking a basket of eggs. The 2CV became a symbol of French simplicity and freedom. More than 3.5 million examples were produced between 1948 and 1990, securing its place in European motoring history.

Tamiya faithfully recreates the 1976 Citroën 2CV with a carefully detailed engine compartment, transmission and chassis. The horizontally opposed engine cylinders are accurately represented, along with the distinctive front leading-arm and rear trailing-arm suspension arrangement. The lower section of the driver's side window is depicted in the open position, giving the model a natural appearance. A particularly attractive feature is the inclusion of two canvas roof options, allowing you to display the car with either the roof open or closed. With its authentic mechanical construction and unmistakable styling, this Citroën 2CV makes a delightful project for enthusiasts of classic cars and French motoring history.
