Lack of side trim and a black roof makes it a Spécial, and the thicker rear bumper that usually indicates a Club version was used on the Spécial since September 1987. So this is a 1988+ 2CV 6 [i]Spécial and probably one of the very last French built 2CV's (they stopped production in February 1988, leaving Mangualde in Portugal as the only production plant for the 2CV, until the last was produced on 27 July 1990).
