Used For Sale at Auction: 1964 Citroen 2CV for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €80,000 - €100,000 One of only 693 examples Highly desirable twin-engine model Fitted with correct 'AW' engines The Citroen 2CV is unquestionably one of the most important European cars of all time. Produced in several markets and many models, the 2CV was a car for everyone, as proven by its continued popularity. One of the more unusual 2CV variants, and certainly among the most collectable today, is the dual-engined four-wheel-drive 'Sahara'. The front engine drives the forward wheels in the usual manner, with the rear engine powering the rear wheels. To call the Sahara four-wheel-drive is selling it short�both engines can be operated independently, making the vehicle front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive. The car also benefitted from near-perfect weight distribution, and with the useful additional power, the car was capable of 100 km/h on flat ground. Highly adaptable to any terrain, Saharas have been known to tackle every off-road adventure�even the Dakar Rally! This example is fitted with its correct 'AW' engines and is believed to have been assembled at Citroen's factory in Portugal at Mangualde, where 2CV production commenced in 1961. Offered here is a beautifully restored 2CV 4x4, fresh and ready for its next adventure. Um de apenas 693 exemplares constru�dos Modelo bimotor altamente desej�vel Equipado com os motores "AW" corretos O Citroen 2CV � inquestionavelmente um dos autom�veis europeus mais importantes de sempre. Produzido em v�rios mercados e muitos modelos, o 2CV era um carro para todos, como se provou pela sua eterna popularidade. Uma das variantes mais incomuns do 2CV, e certamente entre as mais colecion�veis atualmente, � o bimotor de tra��o �s quatro rodas "Sahara". O motor dianteiro aciona as rodas dianteiras da maneira usual, com o motor traseiro a acionar as rodas traseiras. Chamar o Sahara tra��o �s quatro rodas � subestim�-lo � ambos os motores podem de ser operados de forma independente, tornando o ve�culo com tra��o dianteira, traseira e com tra��o �s quatro rodas. Este 2CV tamb�m beneficia de uma distribui��o de peso quase perfeita, e com pot�ncia adicional �til, era capaz de 100 km / h em terreno plano. Altamente adapt�veis a qualquer terreno, os Sahara s�o conhecidos por enfrentar todas as aventuras fora de estrada � at� mesmo o Rally Dakar! Este exemplar est� equipado com os motores "AW" corretos e acredita-se que foram montados na f�brica da Citroen de Mangualde, em Portugal, onde a produ��o do 2CV teve in�cio em 1961. Um 2CV 4x4 muito bem restaurado, fresco e pronto para a sua pr�xima aventura.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pg19 .
