In 1980 the 2CV experienced his most famous film appearance at the film 'James Bond 007 - For your eyes only'. A good occasion for Citroën, to release a special model. The yellow vehicle with a black roof had '007' - stickers, and a bag with 'holes', which could be arranged arround the car.
The Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios own the Film distibution rights and I am asking for the permission to publish the screenshots later at this page.

Note:
The following pictures are from the movie 'James Bond - For Your eyes only', and were recorded from a broadcast of the 'Westdeutscher Rundfunk' in Germany. My written request for publication authorisation has not been answered until today. Not the WDR, nor the MGM studios, who own the lending rights of the DVD, wrote back. I take this as tacit approval... If a reader of this pages expresses legitimate counter-arguments, I will remove the images with heavy heart.
