  • Citroen 2CV Gendarmerie & Polizei

    New for me is this GENDARMERIE Citroen 2CV , which I have had as a POLIZEI car . The Gendarmerie-car is only available in a 5-car set *Citroen 2CV* and this car is in the Police car design from France.
    The Polizei car is also from a set (4 cars vintage Fire & Polizei), but this one is also available in a single blister. The Polizei car is in an older the design from the Police in Germany, but of course never a real policecar in Germany.

      Ah, if only Majorette toys were not so rare in stores in the USA. I still treasure my Majorette multipacks I bought in Seattle back in the 90s...and have never seen the same issues again since (other than in photos here...)

        Those are a pair of neat looking Citroen 2V police cars - yeah - would be nice if the various Majorette models were not so much a challenge to find.

          I have the SOS 4-pack with the white/green Polizei Citroen...I didn't think about how odd it might be for a German police department to run French cars...is it weirder it was issued with 3 VWs?

          Mind you, I like that white/green Citroen a lot and happy to have one, with its 3 VWamigos.

            There are already a few police cars at the German police, e.g. the Saarland Peugeot has police models and there are also Renault as civil vehicles with the police.
            Abe a Citroen 2CV was never really on patrol in Germany, only in a film where such a 2CV plays a major role in this green and white edition with the label POLENTE.
            The 2 CV is also called DUCK in Germany, the German word for it is DUCK! POL (from Police) and ENTE gave the word POLENTE.
            The makers of Majorette probably had this model in mind when they brought out the car.

            Mostly VW, BMW, Audi and Mercedes drive around in Germany. In the past also a lot of Opel and Ford. Basically there is almost everything - unfortunately, except for purely American models.
