2CV Hermès

A taste of luxury

The 2CV celebrates its 60^th birthday during the Paris Motor Show, on 7 October 2008. To celebrate the event, Hermès has designed a made-to-measure outfit that highlights the vehicle's ever-friendly and generous forms.
The 1989 2CV 6 Spécial, repainted in brown, gains a natural leather trim on the door facings, interior rearview mirror, gear knob, steering wheel and driver's sun visor. For an even more elegant finish, the two seats are upholstered in Hermès grey-beige cotton canvas and natural leather. As a finishing touch, the bonnet and interior trim at the rear of the vehicle also feature Hermès cotton canvas.

An exhibition celebrating the birthday of this legendary car opened at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris on 15 April and is scheduled to run until 30 November 2008.

The fact that Citroën is displaying this car on their stand at the Paris Motor Show would seem to indicate that, after decades in the wilderness, the 2CV is due for rehabilitation.
