About the 1970 Citroën 2CV
The Citroën 2CV — affectionately known as the “Deux Chevaux” or “Duck” — is one of the most iconic cars ever built. Introduced in 1948 and produced until 1990, this front-wheel-drive, air-cooled economy car was designed to motorise rural France. Its simple mechanical design, distinctive bodywork, and remarkable practicality made it a beloved cultural icon across Europe and beyond. The 1970 model represents the 2CV at the height of its popularity, with refined styling and the characterful flat-twin engine that defined the model for over four decades.
Collector Notes
This casting debuted in 2025 as a New Model designed by acclaimed Matchbox designer Abe Lugo, and quickly became a fan favourite for its authentic proportions and charming presence. The 2026 yellow release carries the MBX Motorhead series branding, making it a distinctive variant for completists. The clean, tampo-free finish showcases the classic 2CV lines beautifully, while the chrome base and black wheels with chrome hub details add a touch of period-correct elegance. As one of the most recognisable European cars ever produced, the 2CV appeals to collectors across multiple genres — from French automotive enthusiasts to fans of quirky classic design.
