The English 2 CV - Bijou |
||||||
 |
||||||
The conservative British public found the 2 CV far too outrageous and thus the Slough factory launched the plastic bodied Bijou at the London Motor Show in October 1959. |

The picture above is of a prototype; production models featured a wider grill as shown in the picture on the right. |
The pretty 2 door body weighed more than the standard 2 CV carrosserie thereby rendering its performance even more glacial than the normal 2 CV. |

The windscreen was the rear screen of the ID Break. The steering wheel and interior door handles were also borrowed from the D series. Approximately 250 Bijous were built. |
