About the Citroen 2CV Sahara Yellow Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Citroen 2CV Sahara in yellow is a sealed one-piece casting of the genuinely unusual twin-engine, four-wheel-drive 2CV variant. Hand-finished resin construction suits the corrugated bonnet and simple 1960s French bodywork. A distinctive rarity for a Citroen collection.

Citroen's answer to off-road capability wasn't a transfer case, it was a second engine mounted at the rear, making the Sahara one of the more inventive engineering solutions ever applied to a humble economy car.

Resin Casting of the 2CV's Simple, Distinctive Shape

The 2CV's corrugated bonnet, upright glass and minimal ornamentation are straightforward surfaces for resin to hold crisply, and this casting keeps those simple panels sharp along every fold line, a genuinely different challenge from a modern car's sculpted curves. As a sealed body, the model's whole story plays out externally: the fabric roof line, headlamp surrounds and rear engine cover all read clearly as part of one continuous shell, with tight, even shut lines around the doors. Yellow suits the 2CV's cheerful, unpretentious character well, and the paint here carries genuine depth rather than a flat coat, a small but noticeable detail on a subject whose charm has always been in its honesty rather than its polish.

A Genuinely Unusual Piece for a Classic Collection

The Sahara's twin-engine layout makes it a genuinely rare footnote in Citroen's history, worth seeking out for anyone building a collection around unconventional engineering rather than outright performance. Its compact footprint suits tight shelf spacing, and its lightweight construction makes it easy to handle directly rather than admire only at a distance. Displayed beside more conventional 1960s classics, its oddity is exactly the point, a car that solved a practical problem in the strangest way imaginable.
