BURTON
Burton: a nostalgic looking sportscar for daily use
Because the Burton is based on the chassis of the Citroën 2CV the fuel consumptions and costs of parts, tax and maintenance are low. The mechanical components of the 2CV are ideally suited for the Burton, because they are simple but effective. Citroën has built more than 5 million 2CV's in 45 years. Because of that, the 2CV is incredibly well thought through and engineered. Ride and handling are a revelation to people who have never driven a 2CV. Weight is down by a third and makes acceleration, roadholding and braking distances even better. Space
Luggage space for the Burton is large. Underneeth the rear hatch you have access to a space of 610 litres. Under the bonnet there is another 100 litres available for storing like for example tools or a tent. Wintersports
The hardtop and heater make the Burton ready for the winter. Gullwing doors ensure easy access and can be removed easily and stored in the boot. The car has been tested in snowy conditions. Unique Burton
The possibilities of giving the car it's own look, according to your taste, are limitless. The colour is moulded into the body and can be any RAL colour you wish. There is a choice between normal wings or cyclewings, full windscreen or aeroscreens, 2CV dashboard or VDO gauges. You can have standard 2CV wheels or the special Burton wheels, reminiscent of Bugatti wheels of the 20's and 30's. Interior and body can be made to your taste and budget. Check our website for all the details on different options. Performance
The performance of a Burton is as can be expected from a sportscar. Even with the standard 2CV engine, the car is quick. This is due to the low weight, aerodynamic shape and good handling of the car. Fitting bigger cylinders, racing camshaft, electronic ignition and lightened flywheel, can improve performance further.
