Classic Cars

Even after 70+ years, the Citroën 2CV or deux chevaux (two horsepower) continues to be iconic in France. Designed as a post-World War II car for the masses, the 2CV is lightweight, easy to service and reliable. Well-engineered and constructed, the 2CV transformed France’s rural population from dependence on animals to the automobile. Between 1948 and 1990, over 3.8 million cars were produced, but relatively few exist today.

Designed by the WW II aviator and hero, Roland de la Poype, Citroën’s Méhari was unveiled in May 1968 in Deauville. The Mehari production lasted for more than twenty years.

Austin’s Mini has a contemporary counterpart made by BMW. The original Mini was produced in the United Kingdom by the British Motor Corporation starting in 1959. Small and compact, the name has always suited this iconic car.

Volkswagen’s Beetle and the campervan need little introduction as vehicles that played a significant role in popular culture. The original Beetle (affectionately called “Bug” by some) was produced between 1938 until 2003. The Volkswagen Westfalia Camper, a conversion of two models, sold from the early 1950s to 2003. This van remains etched in our memories of the 1960s and California beach scenes.

    I would love to try one of these cars. They look like great fun. I’m a Property Manager and also offer a concierge service to my guests. These would be great to promote to guests visiting the Vaucluse.
