Quastion about a Citroen 2CV?

Besides France, the 2CV model was produced in other countries, i.e., Belgium, Portugal, Holland, etc. Is there a way the VIN will indicate in which country the car was produced?

    This is actually a very good question, but yes, the records are incomplete as back then records were kept on paper and so many were made it's impossible to know. if you want one with a specific country of origin, you should find one with only a few owners and see if they have the paperwork to trace it. However this might also not be conclusive because the car could easily have been imported after assembly.

    Try the window glass. Saint Gobain on French built, Covina on Portuguese. Not sure about other countries' glass though...

    It appears that the records are incomplete.

    Here is a link to what seems to be known.
