The Hoffmann 2CV Cabrio is a kitcar based on the Citroën 2CV.
The Citroën 2CV is an air-cooled front-engine, front-wheel-drive economy car introduced at the 1948 Paris Mondial de l'Automobile and manufactured by Citroën for model years 1948–1990.
In 1988, Wolfgang Hoffmann developed the design and the first prototypes. A lot of Hoffmann 2CV Cabrios have been built as a homework project. Approximately 250 professionally manufactured vehicles left the workshop in Hohenfurch. The kit contains a fibre glass reinforced plastic body with steel frame, two side windows, soft-top, trunk lid and all necessary screws, bolts, hinges etc.
Homework, or a homework assignment, is a set of tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be completed outside the class. Common homework assignments may include required reading, a writing or typing project, mathematical exercises to be completed, information to be reviewed before a test, or other skills to be practiced.
Hohenfurch is a municipality in the Weilheim-Schongau district, in Bavaria, Germany.
To this day approx. 1700 Hoffmann cabrios are registered in Europe, mainly in Germany and France. Some vehicles have also been sold to Japan and the USA.
