Hermes and Citreon 2CV may not seem a natural mix but OMG this is the most perfect car I have ever seen.

Hermes made over this 1989 Citreon 2CV6 Special for the Paris 2008 Auto Show - and I am totally and utterly in love with it. I love classic cars and this is just luxurious and totally full of character.

Check out the details in the images - luxurious, gorgeous and still a 2CV.

Motoring does not get any more interesting than this.
