In the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, which Citroën does Bond use during the escape in Greece?

The story behind the answer

In For Your Eyes Only, James Bond uses a Citroën 2CV during an escape in Greece.

The sequence contrasts sharply with the glamorous spy cars usually associated with Bond. Bond and Melina Havelock use the small yellow 2CV while fleeing pursuing gunmen, producing one of the film’s most recognizable comic-action chases.

The Citroën 2CV was designed as an economical, practical French car rather than a high-performance machine. Its soft suspension and compact shape became central to the sequence’s visual humor.

This vehicle is separate from Bond’s Lotus Esprit in the same film. The Lotus is the car connected with the underwater sequence, while the 2CV is the small car used during the Greek road escape.
