 Re: Where was my 2cv made? knightley wrote: 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) Malgualde, that was it.. thought is was vallelunga, but that is a place in Italy i just found out.. I stand corrected

Re: Where was my 2cv made? As some years ago Slovenia was flooded with 2cv-s and Dyane-s from Italy and Germany (mainly cars from junkyards) we had same problem discovering from where is some car... Same system, look at the glass ... if it says "SIGURNOST PANČEVO" than it is original Tomos or Cimos from Koper factory.

Re: Where was my 2cv made? does the glass have the reg number etched into it? If so then it is far more likely that the shells are replacement parts, or they did both. Either way it sounds french.

Hi no reg number etchings,all doors look original,with original faded D*lly striping dought all windows would have been replaced,looks like french to me one thing i did notice is the back door and corner windows must be interchangable side to side,as one side etchings are inside and otherside they are out side if you know what i mean

Re: Where was my 2cv made? Likeliest scenario there is that the car was built at Mangualde, Portugal, with parts left over from the Paris factory.
