I used a 2CV in the mid-70's when I was in Germany... does yours have the soft top??? Oh, those were the days!
As with most things here, keeping it clean of salt, often & thoroughly, is one of the main keys to keeping it from that deadly rust! You may also notice more deterioration on the hoses & such, as the combo of UV, VOG, & salt do seem to so weird things to that type of stuff (main reason to warn on that, is that there will be a harder time to find the parts.... like you do not already have that problems with the 2CV, but there is even a more remote chance to find the parts!)...if you store it in the garage, but do not clean the salt off.... welll.....rust happens! also best to store as dry as possible...
