About the Citroen 2CV Saussente Green Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Citroen 2CV in Saussente Green opens its doors and bonnet over the famously simple cabin and engine bay. Few cars represent French motoring's practical, unpretentious philosophy as completely as the 2CV does.

There's an honesty to the 2CV's design that green suits particularly well, a colour as unfussy as the car itself.

Diecast Detail on a Deliberately Simple Design

The zinc alloy body gives this small hatchback real weight, and the rounded, corrugated bonnet panels, a genuine engineering feature designed for rigidity rather than styling, are cast with clean, consistent definition. Doors and bonnet both open, the cabin showing the 2CV's characteristically minimal dashboard and deckchair-style seats, while lifting the bonnet reveals engine bay detail representing the small air-cooled flat-twin that powered the car for decades with barely any changes. The Saussente Green finish carries a clean, even gloss, and panel gaps around the opening sections sit within normal tolerance for the shape.

The 2CV as a Symbol of French Practicality

Designed originally to get French farmers to market affordably and reliably, the 2CV remained in production for over four decades with remarkably little fundamental change, a testament to how well its original brief was executed. Its soft, long-travel suspension and famously simple mechanicals made it beloved far beyond its intended rural market, eventually becoming a countercultural favourite across Europe. For a French classic collection, the 2CV is close to essential, and this 1980s example, from near the end of the model's remarkably long run, represents the design at its most fully refined.
