Recently my email has been getting many requests to review another James Bond car. Well, you probably weren't expecting this one. James bond was only ever a passenger in the Citroen 2CV used in the film For Your Eyes Only, that is until he gains control of the wheel after the car is flipped on his side. Known world wide as "the better-looking VW Beetle." This car, although hated by many has a past rich with color. It was built to replace the common horse, but that is not the only thing this little car is known for. It was currently in the prototype stage during World War Two in France, when the Nazis arrived. In a quick but bold move, the prototypes for the 2CV were hidden across France. Some were burred underground. Some were hidden in run-down barns and houses. They are still turning up in odd places, even today. It official went into production in 1948, and stopped being made in 1990, all with verry little detail and design changes to the original. I would personally still have one of these over a Volkswagen Betle, as this car is a four-door that is somewhere between a hatchback and a coupe. All in all, a funny and iconic little car, and if it is good enough for James Bond, then it should be good enough for you.
