The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 011500 Citroën 2CV is a beautiful scale model of one of the most iconic cars in French automotive history: the Citroën 2CV, also known as the "ugly duckling". The Citroën 2CV was introduced in 1948 as an affordable, reliable and easy to maintain car for the countryside and the French population. The aim was to design a car that could transport four people and 50 kilos of potatoes over unpaved roads, and the 2CV did so with unparalleled success. During its production of more than four decades, the 2CV became a worldwide symbol of simplicity, reliability and French charm.

The original Dinky Toys model of the Citroën 2CV 11500 was launched in 1981 by the French Meccano, and was known for its faithful representation of this everyday but beloved vehicle. The model became popular with both children and collectors and has since become a classic among Dinky Toys enthusiasts. This Atlas Dinky Toys reissue, the No. 011500, pays tribute to this original model and brings the charm of the Citroën 2CV back to life in miniature form. With its characteristic curves, simple design and attention to detail, this scale model is a true collector's item.

This Atlas Dinky Toys No. 011500 Citroën 2CV is in mint condition. The characteristic orange colour of the 2CV and the square headlights typify the last type of 2CV released by Dinky Toys. The details of the model, such as the typical wavy bonnet, the square headlights and the classic 2CV profile, have been beautifully preserved. All moving parts, such as the bonnet, function properly, so that this model retains its original charm and playfulness.

This example comes with the original box, which makes it even more valuable. The box is in excellent condition and contributes to the authenticity and collector's value of the model. For collectors, the presence of the original packaging is an important element that significantly increases the value and attractiveness of the model.

The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 011500 Citroën 2CV is a perfect miniature of a car that had a huge impact on the daily lives of millions of people.
