Wind-in-your-hair motoring is a choice with this exemplary Citroën

Worked with the engineering energy of a prefab nursery shed, these vehicles were fundamental in the limit as well as being mind-numbingly sluggish.

Indeed, even after the motor was expanded in size to 425cc, the little Citroën was battling to haul itself up, let alone up to the statures of 60mph.

To exacerbate the situation, Citroën's adversary Renault had been chipping away at its own reaction to the 'Tin Snail'.

Its vehicle met every one of the prerequisites for commonsense, economy-centered motoring that had made the 2CV such a triumph, yet included along with the remaining blend a feeling of extravagance and innovation.

The Renault 4 hit display areas in October 1961, focusing unequivocally at the country market delighted in by the 2CV.

Like the Citroën, the R4 included a different body and frame, front-wheel drive and completely autonomous suspension, with a tremendous freight region ideal for light work around the ranch.

Significantly, however, it was fueled by a 747cc water-cooled four-chamber motor, which not just made it calmer and more refined than the horticultural Citroën, yet permitted it to arrive at speeds more fit to the arising autoroutes.

The world went frantic for it, and by 1963 deals had overwhelmed those of the hailing 2CV.

Citroën could have been down, however it wasn't exactly out. It punched back in 1963 with the AZAM, an upmarket rendition with Ami 6 hubcaps and new brightwork for the windscreen and window encompasses, in addition to half-moon doorhandles, and chrome covered headlamp accents and wiper arms.

Most striking were the intense loops fitted to the front and back guards.

"It highlighted better inside trim and a plastic narrow guiding wheel," says Thorpe. "What's more 1963 was likewise the year the 18bhp, 425cc motor was presented, again to counter the danger from the Renault."

The AZAM went a smart method for overcoming any barrier to the posher Ami, however it was the Belgian AZAM 6 that made the best record of itself, being founded on the Ami 6 floorpan and profiting from that vehicle's all the more impressive 602cc motor.

"These were sent off in 1965," says Thorpe, motioning to his all around patinated at this point genuine model.

"There was a solid cooperation between Citroën Benelux and Citroën Switzerland: the vehicles were implicit Belgium only for the Swiss market, yet they were extremely famous in Holland.

"About 697 went to Germany, and others to the remainder of northern Europe. You even track down them in Sweden and Norway.

"They quit building them in late 1967 on the grounds that the Forest plant in Belgium was gone over to Dyane and van creation."

More than 5.1m Citroën 2CVs were underlying aggregate

Portraying any 2CV as an extravagance model is a stretch and, notwithstanding the hardened steel and chrome complements, anybody outside the Deux Chevaux people group - and, surprisingly, a couple inside it - will battle to recognize an AZAM 6 from in excess of twelve speeds.

Guard loops and badging aside, the greatest contrast comes when you get in the driver's seat, where the additional power from the 26bhp motor makes the vehicle a touch more usable.
