Description

This 1979 Citroën Dyane 6 was sold new in Tuscany and recently underwent €4k in cosmetic and mechanical reconditioning. Based on the 2CV, the Dyane 6 features an air-cooled 602cc horizontally-opposed twin, integrated front headlamps, and an improved interior. It utilizes the French automaker’s hallmark independent suspension, with front disc brakes and 15″ wheels with chrome wheel covers as standard. This example was sold new in the city of Arezzo and retains an original Italian license plates along with a matching hardtop. In 2015, the previous owner commissioned an exterior repaint in the original color, and within the past three months approximately €4k has been spent by the selling dealer on cosmetic and mechanical service in preparation for the sale. This Dyane is now being offered in Italy with receipts from service, a clear Italian logbook, and certificate of ownership.

The Beige Nevada finish was professionally reapplied approximately in 2015, and shortly after the seller’s acquisition a full detailing was performed. The original 15″ wheels have been refinished in the original color, fitted with reproduction chrome hubcaps, and mounted with new period-style tires. A new grille and emblem have also been installed.

The roof features a full-length rolling canvas sunroof, which has recently been replaced along with the frame. The included matching hardtop can be seen in the gallery below. Paint meter reading taken at various points across the body can also be found in the gallery.

The interior floor was cleaned and primed prior to being repainted to match the exterior. Both the front and rear camel seats have been refurbished, including disassembly, refinishing the frames, installing foam and supporting materials, and fitting a new set of covers. Citroën’s sliding-shifter can be seen protruding from the dash. 37k kilometers are shown on the odometer, and the actual mileage is unknown.

The horizontally-opposed twin was increased to 602cc and equipped with a dual barrel carburetor for the Dyane 6. Output was rated at 32 hp by the factory, and a four-speed manual gearbox delivers power to the front wheels. Recent mechanical service included a fluid change, replacement clutch cable, a new condenser, and a set of points.

A front wheel alignment has been performed, and the car has traveled approximately 40km since the work was completed. Additional photos of the undercarriage can be seen in the gallery below. The original jack and owners manual are included with the sale.
