This may not be totally accurate as it does not explain a UK Charleston with rect lights, but my mental image of a Charleston is with round lights so this one looks odd to me.

But this is a RHD car... And in 1984 it wasn't common yet to repaint 'normal' 2CVs as a Charleston. Also one can see the light grey upholstery, indicating a 1982+ version.
