Citroën has partnered with Playmobil to turn the iconic Citroën 2CV into a Playmobil set, 75 years after the launch of the real car.In production from 1948 until 1990, the Citroen 2CV became one of the world’s best-selling cars.

Citroën 2CV Playmobil je nabízen v balení s mnoha postavičkami a doplňky a není pochyb o tom, že na něj čekají nová a vzrušující dobrodružství, která potěší mladší i starší děti. Off into the countryside: The tailgate can be opened and offers storage space for shopping and luggage. The set includes a choice of clear headlights or, for additional Gallic charm, yellow light lenses. Now rendered in miniature form, the Playmobil Citroen 2CV makes its debut some 75 years after the full-size original. The 2CV Playmobil was shown for the first time on Citroën’s stand at the Retromobile show in Paris, introducing the iconic car to a new generation of fans.There are also theories that the yellow lights were chosen for military reasons, possibly to make them easy to differentiate from vehicles from Germany. Really, no one is exactly sure how it started, but it definitely became a hallmark of French automotive quirkiness. V roce 1960 se do historie vozu 2CV zapsala také velmi speciální verze 2CV 4×4, vybavená dvěma motory, jedním vpředu a druhým vzadu, která jej přivedla do světa terénních vozů. Dodávková verze 2CV byla uvedena na trh v roce 1951 a nejnovější modely mohly přepravovat až 400 kg užitečného nákladu. Playmobil 2CV byl francouzské veřejnosti poprvé představen na stánku Citroën na výstavě Rétromobile na začátku února tohoto roku.

The toy set includes a Citroën 2CV by PLAYMOBIL, three PLAYMOBIL figures, a pig, two geese, two milk cans, front headlights and many other lovely extras. A perfect gift for car enthusiasts and nostalgia fans.

It is a particular kind of yellow light that was required from all road illumination lamps on vehicles in France for many years. Light appears (more or less) white when it contains a mix of all the colours—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. By removing (filtering) the blue, indigo, and violet out of white light, we get selective yellow light. It is not the same as the more orange colour called “yellow” or “amber” used for vehicle turn signals, side marker lights, and (in some countries) clearance and front position or “parking” lights. The model was so popular that it was chosen as part of a list of Cars of the 20th Century in France in 2002. Offering space for four passengers, the Playmobil Citroën 2CV model is full of charming details like the faithfully recreated interior, openable rear hatch door, characteristic headlights and functioning sunroof. The headlights are interchangeable and can switch between transparent and yellow colouring. The long life of the 2CV was marked by numerous changes in design and equipment. In 1957, a boot lid was introduced to replace its canvas predecessor; in 1964, the rear-hinged front doors were abandoned and replaced by doors that opened conventionally; in 1966, rear windows were introduced; and then in 1967, the Ami 6's dashboard was adopted for the car. In 1960, a very special version, the four-wheel-drive 2CV with two engines, one at the front and one at the rear, also marked the history of the 2CV, bringing it into the world of all-terrain vehicles. The first van version of the 2CV was launched in 1951 and the final models could carry payloads of up to 400kg. The 2CV was first unveiled to the public in 1948, and it remained in production until 1990. During that time, the car was continuously adapted and updated – but it never lost sight of its original purpose: it had to be simple to manufacture, affordable and easy to maintain. In its 42-year production run, 5,114,969 2CVs were made, including 1,246,335 van versions. Model 2CV, kterého bylo vyrobeno 5 114 969 kusů, z toho 1 246 335 dodávek, dokázal během své 42leté historie zaujmout všechny vrstvy obyvatelstva. S tak bohatou historií a dlouhou životností se 2CV postupně stal skutečnou legendou. Legendární automobil, který si získal velké sympatie, dnes bezpochyby ztělesňuje určitou představu štěstí, bezstarostného a pohodového života.

The long life of the 2CV was marked by numerous changes in design and equipment. Among a long list, a number of major and notable developments mark the history of the 2CV: in 1957, a boot lid was introduced to replace the canvas that one used to have to roll up; in 1964, the rear-hinged front doors were abandoned and replaced by front doors that open in the right direction; in 1966, rear windows were introduced; and then in 1967, the Ami 6’s dashboard was adopted. In 1960, a very special version, the four-wheel-drive 2CV with two engines, one at the front and one at the rear, also marked the history of the 2CV, bringing it into the world of all-terrain vehicles. The van version of the 2CV was launched in 1951 and the final models could carry payloads of up to 400 kg. Vůz 2CV, který byl navržen tak, aby byl cenově dostupný, robustní, určený na venkov, ale stejně dobře se s ním jezdilo i ve městě, symbolizuje éru, která byla živá a pestrá. Stal se ikonou životního stylu a občas dokonce i filmovou hvězdou. Playmobil has added a number of distinct features to the scale 2CV, including a removable roof and opening boot. The latter can hold a pair of milk churns, although not the famed ‘basket of eggs’ the 2CV was designed to carry across a field. The 2CV Playmobil was shown for the first time on Citroën’s stand at the Retromobile show in Paris earlier this month. They’ve also included what I guess is some kind of Plamobil hippie or counterculturalist, and a French cop, I suppose so your kid can have fun playing getting harassed by the man, or, I suppose, getting hassled by l’homme.
