1986 Citroën 2CV Charleston | London

A 1986 Citroën 2CV Charleston, the dressed-up version of the small French car loved for its roll-back fabric roof and long-travel suspension. It runs an air-cooled 602cc flat-twin. The Charleston trim added a rounded two-tone paint split and chrome details, and it stayed in the range until 2CV production ended in 1990. This car is finished in grey with a grey interior, a quiet scheme that lets the curved body and fabric roof stand out in frame. With the roof rolled back, the cabin opens up for portraits and for shots from the pavement or the back seat. Its compact, rounded shape suits period film and television scenes set in 1980s Europe, editorial and portrait photography, and themed events built around French design or small classics. Weddings and personal hires also suit its friendly looks. The car is based in London.
