COBI Citroen 2CV Type Az 1962 Model Kit

COBI Citroën 2CV Type AZ 1962 Model Kit No. 24511

Produced and continuously improved in the years 1949-1990, the Citroën 2CV has become an icon of the French automotive industry. The car was designed before WWII. Its creation is associated with the need to produce a simple and cheap car for the masses, in line with the slogan of the company director Pierre Boulanger, "quatre roues sous un parapluie" (four wheels under an umbrella). The car was simple, economical and allowed for the comfortable transport of 4 people with luggage. Baptized as the ugliest car in the world at the Paris Salon in 1948, it became an object of desire, contrary to the critics' opinions. During its 41 years of production, nearly 4 million cars were produced in factories around the world. Today, this car holds an almost cult status and is prized by collectors.

The AZ version of the car is a saloon with additional improvements. A characteristic feature was the detachable panoramic roof which could be rolled up.

Using 82 COBI construction bricks, you can build a model of the Citroën 2CV type AZ which is impeccably reproduced in 1:35 scale. Thanks to the use of elements specially designed for this car, the shape of the body is as close to the original as possible. A separate colour of the roof marked with printed clamps. The car is equipped with 4 movable wheels and printed key details.

The Citroën is 11 cm long and 4.5 cm high. The kit includes a plate with the signature of the model and the CITROËN logo of the time. The printed licence plates also show the model’s name. The Cobi Youngtimer Collection and the Historical Collection feature vintage cars from major automotive brands. All cars are designed in a 1:35 scale model and represent a vast collection ideal for children, adolescents, and adults who are passionate about history and the automotive industry.
