Post rectangular headlamp years
Quick question so I can reply to someone in the CCC. What years were rectangular headlamps standard? - vague idea when they finished but not the start.


Thanks.

1974 saw the introduction of rectangular headlamps. Pretty sure they were phased out in July 1987, although, obviously, we lost them several years before.

Pretty sure we stopped getting the Club in summer 1984- 'A' reg was the last number plate year (and last year of grey indicator surrounds too).

Maybe credit I2F as the provider of the answer Richard? I always make sure I credit I2F in 2cvGB News when I've used the forum for stuff

Quote from Jeroen Cats's site:
1974
March: Engine; hardened toothed belt on the flywheel.
September: Body; square headlights, plastic grille with chrome edge and chevrons inside, bigger rear bumper, black rubber protector replaces gray one.
Interior; plastic door top covers, roof is secured from the inside.
Dashboard; starting button replaced by starting with the ignition key, choke moved from left to right.


For more information see: http://cats-citroen.net/home.html it is in English.

I think this is clear then.
