Dyane
Dyane has the same drivetrain and structure as the 2CV 4 and 6, but received a body that was supposed to be more modern. Citroën expected the new model to take over from the popular 2CV.
The Dyane may have looked more modern than the 2CV, but it never achieved the same cult status – nor the same sales. It was produced from 1967 to 1983. Fortunately, there are still many cars left. Unfortunately, many are abandoned or rolling around in very poor condition.
Since another Citroen model, the iconic Méhari, shares technology with the Dyane, there is a good supply of new parts. There are still many cars in France with the same mechanics. The 2CV Méhari Club in Cassis, France sells reconditioned and new parts for the 2CV, Dyane and Méhari.

Acadiane
Acadiane is the van version, also called Dyane Fourgonnette. There are actually more Acadianes on French roads than the sedan version. These are simple and practical cars that are used for transport missions to this day. Out in the countryside they are used on bad roads where they offer good accessibility. It is now possible to buy new drivetrains and new wear parts for all the cars. The drivetrain is shared with the Méhari – the open plastic beach car. It still has a high cult status – so parts will not be a problem.
