Does anyone have hi-res pics of 2CV racing versions? Or any other racing Citroens from 50s-80s?

I don't understand how such an unappealing car could exist for so long

Sigh. Have you ever driven one ? They are awesome.

Maybe not hi-res, but plenty of images: Classic 2CV Racing Club

Have long held a secret wish to do the annual 24 hour enduro one day. Cheap thrills.

This one has a number, don't know whether it is an "offical" racing version.
Also a 1950 car, just for fun.

The first one is the Paris Dakar version made by Cassis the french builder of 2CV parts.

Do you know which model had two rounded headlights for the first time in the history of the 2CV? Probably the "AZ" model?

Do you mean two full lights in stead of the one from the prototypes? Or are you referring to the more square headlights from the later version?
According to Wiki all 1970s models featured rectangular headlights, but that probably does not mean that some versions had them before.

Yes, I meant the two full lights, not the one. There are two versions, you can distinguish them by their grill. I show you two pics:

You can easily see the differences.

I can see the diffierences in the grill alright, but the differences in the headlights do not stand out so much that I would call them rounded or less rounded.
P.S. The newer car has a message in Dutch in the windshield: "Don't take away"

These are the two different models and my question is: can you identify any of these models? I mean, can you tell me the exact name of these two models. There must be a difference in their names. :-)
