929V6 ◊ 2010-06-11 23:02	The yellow/black Charleston was added to the red/black one in November 1981, according to "Citroën 2CV in Nederland" by Jan de Lange. In the Netherlands only 27 were sold.
DynaMike ◊ 2010-06-11 23:34	Usually that book by Jan de Lange is very accurate, but I think here he made a mistake. According to my info (Gazoline hors-série 25: 2CV 1961-1990) the red-and-black Charleston was new for model year 1981, as a special series of 8000 cars, and with red headlight housings and black-and-white upholstery. For 1982 the red-and-black version became a regular model, with chrome headlights and grey upholstery, for 1983 the yellow-and-black version was added, and for 1984 the yellow version was dropped for the grey-grey Charleston.
