This iconic French model was createdëer in 1935 with the French peasants as its target market. It therefore had to be affordable and reliable. It also had to be able to transport goods comfortably and safely over dirt roads, potatoes, eggs and wine. One requirement was that eggs in a basket would not break when the car drove over a piece of plowed land, and this is what this car performed. Originally the plan was to present the "Deux Chevaux" at the Paris Motor Show in 1939, but because of the war this did not take place until 1948. Production ran exceptionally long: from 1949 through 1990. Despite its great success and high production figures, a good, rust-free example is increasingly scarce today. The van version (Fourgonnette) is known as besteleend and was produced from 1951, with the AK 400 being produced from 1970. The advantage of the latter series is its uprated power (29 hp). At the time, the besteleend was also used by the Dutch road service! Nowadays they are mostly sought after because of marketing or motorhome possibilities.
