It’s amazing how wild and varied the enthusiast car community is. While we think we have seen every kind of collector, a car comes along that reminds you how obsession can run in many different directions. The seller of this 1985 Citroen 2CV “Dolly” has gone to some serious lengths to create what is likely one of the best versions of this car in the states. Not only that, but it comes with a killer Besco “suitcase” trailer and a ridiculous electric 2CV scooter. Find it here on craigslist for $30,000 or best offer.

The “Dolly” in the name refers to the two-tone paint job. When these 2CVs were offered, this trim was marketed towards women. I’m assuming this has something to do with the fairer sex liking fancier paint jobs? Whatever the intent, it was a successful offering, and this particular example has clearly been loved by its caretakers. The current owner has obviously continued that tradition, and mentions that when he got his hands on it, he sent it straightaway to Dave Burnham’s Citroen shop in N.Y. and told him to do whatever was necessary to bring it up to speed.

For a short while, I owned a Peugeot 505 wagon. It was a charming car. While I generally have an appetite for challenging projects, the 505 was just a bridge too far. There were a handful of specialists who would actually work on it, and they weren’t local to me. While anything is possible when it comes to old cars, I just didn’t have the desire to make a challenging more of an uphill battle due to the scarcity of spares and people who could work on it. The seller is part of a select crowd of enthusiasts that love these cars so much, they will do whatever is necessary to keep it on the road.

The seller has driven this 2CV despite its rarity and irreplaceable body panels, racking up numerous awards at a wide variety of car shows. He lists off the following: 2019 Carlisle Elite Trophy; Carlisle Citroen 100 Anniversary – Best 2CV; New England Citroen Club/Canadian Club; “Rendezvous” East Coast show -Best 2CV; and so on. The Citroen has also been the subject of magazine features, which further ensures it will be impossible to blend into the crowd in a car like this. Have you ever seen this two-tone 2CV in the flesh?
