1987 Citroën Charleston 2CV6

Highlights

• MOT valid until December 2026
• Described as a good runner
• Usable 2CV6 with scope to improve

The Appeal

The Charleston helped rejuvenate interest in Citroën’s perennial 2CV6. Distinctive two-tone colour schemes added to the character, and these models are sought-after by enthusiasts.

Thanks to their simplicity, reliability, and ready parts supply, these cars offer the joy of being as much a collector classic as an eye-catching daily. This 1987 Rouge Delage and Black Charleston is aimed at the latter, a mechanically sorted example that can be enjoyed ‘as is’ or gradually improved if the buyer wishes. But part of its charm may be its cosmetic honesty.

The history file shows a large number of invoices, receipts, MOTs and handwritten notes. It holds a valid MOT until December 2026, with an advisory to note.

The vendor says:

“Mechanically sound; starts immediately, nice runner. Fun to drive.”
