Apparently those 2cv were a concept car that survived the war, was designed before the war, and was only made and released after it, it also apparently continued to be in production until 1992!Most likely making it the longest lasting production car!!

3rd in masters class at Ellerslie Concours! I don't recall seeing it there, this year or last year. (http://concours.org.nz/2011.h- tml) No doubting it is a very tidy car though

It's a wonderful wide world out there, don't be blinkered by the same-ness of Japanese engineering!
Morris Minors and some Hondas have torsion bars, Minis had little lumps of rubber, BMC1300s had hydraulic suspension, and all sorts of cars have had air or gas systems.

No it has two horizontal coil springs, one each side, the front and back wheel each side share it.

I stand corrected. Well done.
Though on reading up about them it sounds like the most complicated setup I could imagine. Torsion bars would have been far better IMHO. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_2CV
