The Bond movie came out in '81 and the special-edition cars had drums.

Not neccesarilly so-I've heard of a few "disc brake" 007s. As I recall, they didn't come out of the factory as 007s (correct me if I'm wrong?) so a few later ones could've slipped through the net so to speak.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
I've got a mimosa 2cv from '79. It has discs.

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Didn't Citroen produce a small amount to display in their showrooms to promote the 2cv, i think that this coincided with the release of the film? then when they were approached by Jozef public looking to actually buy the cars they went on sale a few months later around October 1981?
I know some dealers got the sticker kits so when you bought a yellow 2cv you had the option of having the 007 kit fitted by the dealer...

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
When my Dad bought his brand new Jaune Mimosa Drummer Club on 01/08/81 the dealers offered to fit the decal kit for him. He declined their offer.
