Editing Citroën 2CV (section)

=== Non-factory ===

==== 4x4 ====

Various 4×4 conversions were built by independent constructors, such as Marc Voisin, near Grenoble, some from a Méhari 4×4 chassis and a 2CV body. In the UK, Louis Barbour builds single-engined four-wheel-drive 2CVs. In the late 1990s, [[Kate Humble]] from BBC Top Gear tested one against a [[Land Rover Defender]] off-road. The 2CV won.

Another very different double front-ended, four-wheel drive (but not at the same time) 2CV, the 1952 Citroën Cogolin, also known as the ''Bicéphale'', was built for the French Fire Service—the Sapeur-Pompiers. This was meant to enable the car to drive into a narrow position and away again without having to turn.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://daveburnhamcitroen.com/specials.html |title=Special projects: Cogolin |website=Dave Burnham Citroën |location=Delanson, NY |access-date=21 August 2016}}</ref>

==== Boot extensions ====

Some owners wished to have more luggage capacity in the 2CV sedan. Early 2CV could be fitted with a rounded aftermarket boot (trunk) lid, reminiscent of a post-war "big boot" [[Citroën Traction Avant|Traction Avant]].
Some late model owners fitted an extension to the car's [[trunk (automobile)|boot]]. This used the original boot lid and hinges, but in a horizontal position with the extension underneath.

==== Kit cars and specials ====

Examples of 2CV-based kit sports cars include the Pembleton, [[Blackjack Cars|Blackjack Avion]] and the [[Lomax (auto)|Lomax]] from Britain, and [[Burton (car)|Burton]] and Patron from the Netherlands. Most are also available as three wheelers (single wheel at the rear), like an early [[Morgan Motor Company|Morgan]] sports car. Some have been fitted with larger air-cooled twin-cylinder motorcycle engines. The German [[Hoffmann 2CV]] is a two door convertible.

For transportation purposes, some saloon models were rebuilt into vans using fibreglass reconstructions of corrugated 2CV Fourgonnette rear box sections. The "Bedouin"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.citroenet.org.uk/foreign/bedouin/bedouin.html |title=2 CV Bedouin |access-date=7 January 2010}}</ref> was a flat-panel wooden-bodied kit car.

==== UMAP coupé ====

The small French company UMAP was established in 1956 in the northern French village of [[Bernon]], ([[Aube]]) by Camille Martin, the former mayor. The acronym UMAP stands for Usine Moderne d'Applications Plastiques (Factory for Modern Plastic Applications). UMAP produced the SM 425 and SM 500 from 1957, two externally identical coupés based on the Citroën 2CV. In 1958 production was discontinued.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.citroenet.org.uk/phototheques/retromobile2010/retro-5.html |title=Retromobile 2010 |publisher=Citroenet.org.uk |access-date=17 April 2014}}</ref>
