trigger Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Whist browsing round my local Ford/Citroen rip off dealers this afternoon i spotted this Citroen C3 Pluriel Charleston, Never knew they was making this. Based on the Early 80's 2CV Chareston with the matching colours, Not sure what to make of it though, Think it suited the 2cv but not this eurobox, Can't see as many people going for it as the 2CV.

pogweasel Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hideous. And while we are at it I have never 'got' the special edition 2CV's either - Charlston, Dolly etc (Sorry Ian) Always seemed a bit 'desperate'& marketed squarely at middle aged suburban guardian-reading women...In my opinion a 2CV should come only in 'peasant' colours, flat & faded blue or red or white with rust blebs. Tres bien! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (Sorry Ian) Always seemed a bit 'desperate'& marketed squarely at middle aged suburban guardian-reading women...Just as well he looks like one!

dollywobbler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Why I oughta... Daft thing is, I never liked Dollies myself until I got one. Then I realised that actually, driving a Dolly puts you on a higher plane to the dregs of humanity in their bland estates... I do agree though. Like Land Rovers, 2CVs look at their best when a bit battered and hand painted. Much like my mate's 2CV! Don't even get me started on the sodding Plureyuck...

Ratdat Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 The paintlob is the least of it's problems. Being 100% FUGLY to start with is more of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Seconded, I reckon the C3 Pluriel is a dreadful-looking vehicle and the paintjob makes no difference. They're surprisingly pricey those Pluriels though, can imagine them being quite the shite contender in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative Creep Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Horrible things that go for the 'wacky' crowd but fail miserably. All the unreliability and bad dealer service of the c3, but with even more leaks - where do I sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnde Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not keen on the C3, but I'd go to great lengths to own that BX I do think that in general special editions are awesome. A lot seem to have weird trim specs, really naff extras and questionable paintjobs/interior designs. What isn't there to like?Hmm! I'm thinking: and Mark.

Station Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The 2CV's stripes down the side followed on from the lines of the roof/doors. The modern one has just lines down the side that don't follow any shape. It looks shit, but then so does every new car today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 That was less a special edition and more a desperate last throw of the dice to try and wring a few more months out of the Rover 25 bodyshell... although I suppose production probably totalled less than the average Ford special edition run...
