The french DINKY-TOYS Citroën 2CV van should have had 2 rear doors...

I have never seen anything written on it, either in Mr Roulet's books or in the magazines… If you look carefully at the rear of the french CITROEN 2CV van produced by French Dinky as #25D, you'll clearly see that it was at first designed to be fitted with two rear doors, as an axle support is present on the right side, and also a corresponding hole in the baseplate.

It is highly probable that the model, at first designed to be fitted with two rear doors, was modified even before the production began to receive the only one we know, on order to decrease production costs...
