That's great advertisement! Can beat a Ferrari! Sold!

Did you read the fine print? At 71 mph it will beat a Ferrari traveling at 65 mph. Genius.

Owned 2 of them. Best car ever made.

Me too, absolutely hilarious going round corners in them...

impossible to roll, I've had some mad roller coaster rides with these. (seats also come out for drinking outdoors with friends

The Rolls is $1.32million without factoring rarity, but that is only assuming this ad is 1964 instead of older or newer.

I'd say you'd pay about £5000 for a half decent one. Very early versions from the 50's are as much as £20k+!

One of the greatest Cars, I've been to the 2cv world meeting years ago it was fucking amazing what these cars are capable of
hajimedj
It also has no three-point seatbelt. Enjoy!
johnnydarkside
Well, the first car with a 3 point was in 1959, so it took a while to catch on.
hajimedj
Didn't that become mandatory in like the late '60s-70's?

It was said you could drive across a ploughed field with a basket of eggs in the boot/trunk of a 2CV and you would make it over eggs intact.

Yeah. The suspension system was supposedly one of the best ever. Air springs are amazing.

'There's nothing to go wrong'. Won't your car blow up when used in a protracted fashion without a radiator?
MerToo
Yours will. An air-cooled deux chevaux will then pass you & the driver will taunt you. Later in the day, 'e will taunt you A SECOND TIME...
Ssssssssssss
Later in the day, I'll be waiting to hitch hike with a sad cardboard sign and he'll feel bad for laughing. Joke's on him.
Maboroshi1994
Air cooled. Can blow up in a traffic jam though. Happened to my grandfather
MarleyAndMe
It’s air cooled, like old Porsche’s, VW’s, motorcycles, etc. Not an uncommon thing back then.
Ssssssssssss
I did not know that. Thank you.
anyofmany
and sadly it is still about as fast as you can go with todays traffic.. with 15% of the horse power..
Zaranthan
Sounds fantastic for city driving. I wonder how the mileage is.
anyofmany
depends on the motor- the average from a monitoring side is 6,4 L/100km-> which is about 36,75 mpg

They are AMAZING in cities with old streets, like Paris. My fiancée and I did a "midnight tour" in one and it was heavenly to sit in

I want a déesse (Citroen DS). Heard it's as comfy as grandma's living room (i.e. hella).
TheRussianPickle
The ones from the 50s?
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
They made a new one? (So yes, the 50's version.)
ifounditunderthere
No radiator?
Willum
VW Bugs are air cooled, too.
cosmicpoet
That's what caught my attention too, does it just overheat??
mtreis86
Only if you stop moving
DarkwingDuc
Air cooled engines used to be pretty common in cars and a lot of motorcycles use them to this day.
Mafiaman68
It's an air-cooled engine.
Willybum84
My mum owned one. Boot just flew off one day.
Snooj
Did she try to park it in the back of a truck?
Zaranthan
She ded.
ElRadis
There must have been a breeze in the area

Boot... is that like a lorry?
metzershmit
Trunk.
theyar
No I'm asking about boots.
Imthedroidyouwerelookingfor
How does the trunk just fly off?
TheOneThatGotBanned
There are stories about the entire body of it flew off.. it was made dirt cheap and it had a few flaws.
MisterWho
Too much junk
Willybum84
Was fucked man. You could see the road through holes in the floor. Got us from A to B tho.

her boots would probably stay on better if she didn't have her legs in the air all the time.

The Rolls Royce has five wheels. Two in the front, two in the back, and one for steering. Makes me wonder what else they're lying about

But what if you count the spare wheels?
JerekoKosta
The 2CV has a spare built in. Just drive it with 3 wheels.
RoxnaronMorthalor
Yeah, but for 55000 pounds, you might as well get the Royce.
Cosmogonic
that or 20 2cv's, which is enough to make a faster car (bolting 20 2cv engines to another=400hp car)
Zaranthan
I don't think that's how it works, but I don't know enough about cars to argue with you.
Cosmogonic
that's right, you dont.
JToTheROCNahImSayin
No that would make 40hp
Cosmogonic
the 2cv makes in it's 2cv4 version 23hp and in it's 2cv6 version 35hp. it's named after it's tax horsepower. scrrrruuuuuuuub
JToTheROCNahImSayin
I don't know what tax horsepower is but thanks for the info vroooom

Lamplord
Why does it measure speed in Freedom, but cost in Euro?
Zaranthan
The US invented the automobile, so car people use miles per hour.
VenDei
The modern car (internal combustion engine, produced in volume) is ascribed to Carl Benz, 1886, who was a German.
RacecarRoadcar
In his defence, the first affordable car (Ford Model T) was American.
VenDei
That would still indicate the process of how it is build (which is indeed Fords invention), and not the car itself.
RacecarRoadcar
I was merely stating that it is easy to be have a wrong assumption. Not that the other person was right.

Thanks for telling me something I already know Mr. Partypooper.
NaughtButOne
Imperial (miles) used to be more widespread (albeit different in ways). Britain only switched some 50-60 years ago. Canada ~40.
lambaroo
uk didn't switch for speed and distance. still use mph and miles on road signs
lambaroo
but, strangely, it's all litres at the petrol pumps
NaughtButOne
Really? That's news. Canada switched the whole kit officially, but we still use both systems interchangeably in conversation etc.
lambaroo
still fully signposted in miles with mph limit signs. not even a hint of crossover (eg, no km's in bracket or anything like that)
lambaroo
ireland confusingly used both at once from the 70's until 2005. distances in km's, speed limits in mph!
