you're right - i stand corrected.

the Charleston and Dolly both got two-tone, but the patterning is different.

Dolly lower-spec than Charleston also.

you're right about the windowing too. so the 6 in 2cv6 seems to have derived from the engine capacity :-)

Ken, sorry, I didn't mean to discredit you. Was genuinely clarifying my doubts.

After Wiki-ed, I now know there were so many other variants other than the 2 I know.

So the one popo posted could be a Dolly?

no lar :-)

don't forget i work in the uni, so we are very upfront (and we really don't mind) when we are wrong :-)

hard to tell whether Dolly or not, but since it's two-tone, could well be :-)

Looks like I have a lot to catch up on the history of Citroen..

Hello friends
Dolly's 2V were basically white, whit wings and top in an other color, mainly red, but with few greens
Charleston's were in a two tone scheme, front and doors in red, lower part and rear in black, with a difference by a bowing line. You could see the recent C3 produce with the same colors and scheme
I want add, ALL 2cv with 3 windows (on each side) according to the international body repair rules, are classed as Limousine !
a cheaper limousine, but one !

In this case, the Picassos are limousines too.

you're now the proudly driver of a limousine....I guess you should buy a driver cap !

Haha Yves, during the weekends, I am already a chaffeur... to my son to his classes, and wife to her parents.
