What a difference 72 years makes juxtaposition of Citroën 2CV Fourgonette, 1951 & Citroën 2CV Berlingo Fourgonette, 2023. Citroën has partnered with Italian coachbuilder Caselani to create a new, retro-styled version of the Berlingo compact van.The new van takes its inspiration from the original utility version of the the 2CV. Modifications to the Berlingo include a new grille, bumper, and wheel arches, all made out of fibrelass. Theres a new V-shaped bonnet with round headlight that sit proud of the fenders, mimicking the original truck.
