Burton- 2002
The Göbel brothers of the Netherlands established Duckhunt Company in 1993. Dimitri Göbel is the engineering genius, and Iwan Göbel has the business expertise. This company specialized in servicing Citroën 2CVs. With their passion for car design and technology, combined with their love of the 2CV, Dimitri designed the car of his dreams – the Burton. This car has beautiful lines, careful attention to detail, and the highest quality fit and finishes, all the while using reliable, easily available Citroën 2CV components. The Burton offers superior performance and comfort. Production began in 2000. Compared to a 2CV, the Burton carries 1/3 less weight making acceleration, road holding, and braking even better. Luggage space in the Burton is large. The success of this vehicle led to the company being renamed in 2002 to Burton Car Company.
