Owners of the Citroen C3 looking to relive their youth may be pleased to learn that the legendary 2CV is apparently gearing up for a comeback as part of the automaker's expanded small family car line-up.
Just like the original, which came into production in 1948, the revamped model looks set to boast a classic thin-rimmed steering wheel, retro speedometer and a gear stick situated on the dashboard, reports Auto Express.
Moreover, the model will feature the double chevron grille and slatted bonnet that made the original famous.
Expected to appear as a concept car in 2007, the model is also expected to contain a number of concessions to the modern world.
"While the 2CV was designed to be cheap and cheerful, the newcomer will feature lots of hi-tech kit as standard, including sat nav and connectivity for the latest hand-held gadgets," said Sam Hardy, Auto Express' motoring journalist.
The original 2CV became firmly entrenched in the nation's affections following appearances in a string of blockbuster films, including For Your Eyes Only, Revenge of the Pink Panther and Apocalypse Now.
