Most have 602cc engines and disc brakes, plus the 4 speed gearbox of the Deuche, the French name for the 2CV. which is "deux chevaux

I have the 2CV version of this vehicle, it uses the same frame and power train as the 2CV van.

Parts are much less plentiful but that just makes the car harder to maintain, not any more valuable.
All 2CV derived products
2CV 4 door
2CV van
Dyane
Acadaine van
Ami 6
British Bijou

are all derived from the A-series chassis Citroen made from 1949-1990 with few changes, just a couple add-ons.

That's why the Euro collectors call them A-series cars.

I might be selling several of mine (see signature) in a couple years.
