DynaMike ◊ 2009-03-20 19:00	Indeed the 1976-1978 2CV 4 Spécial (with 435 cc engine) was only available in this yellow (Jaune Cédrat, AC 331). In some markets there was also a 1977-1978 2CV 6 Spécial (with 602 cc engine) in two shades of red (Rouge Soleil, AC432 in 1977 and Rouge Géranium, AC 435 in 1978). I've had one of these red 1978 models that has run over 400.000 kms (last real trip Amsterdam - Barcelona vv).
Weasel1984 ◊ 2009-03-20 19:46	Thank's. And there was any reason why they again lost the 3rd side window?
medimanic ◊ 2010-04-17 10:07	They lost not only their third side window but also a part of their standard equipment like the foamy steering wheel and the body color painted headlights (adopting the light grey ones of the H van). Trying to offer an ultra cheap 2CV and beat Renault 4 prices that were following very closely, Citroen maybe overeacted a little bit..! Economic gain was important though, there were old 2CV (2 window) bodys stocked that found customers with a minor adjustment to the rear end and the marketing of crashing prices proved to be very popular.
