It's a 2CV!  It's probably French built. Definitely not German though. Have a look at the etchings on the glass - if it says 'Covina' it will be portugese, if it says 'Saint Gobain' it will have been built in France. Of course the glass may have been changed somewhere down the years... |

quickest is the glass, if its got more "St Gobain" glass then its probably French made door hinges in body colour are a Portuguese thing |

Just checked my Sept 88 D*lly - glass is Covina and door hinges are body colour. Guess this means a quality Portugese product then which means it's been somewhere I haven't

Levallois Paris made their last 2CV on 29th. February 1988. Vallelunga is the colour of that last one. Portugal plant was in Malgualde. (Can't remember the correct spelling) |
