In 1982 the Charleston series was extended by the yellow-and-black color scheme, which wasn't a success at all, therefore ceased production in 1983, only one year later, and was replaced by the more decently-colored cormorangrey-nightgrey combination.
The yellow Charleston, however, differs from the other two versions by the color of the A pillar and windscreen frame. Contrary to the other color schemes it was painted in the main color - yellow and not black as with the red model (or dark grey with the grey one).
So the most recent yellow Charleston was built in 1983. Many have quite normally ended on the scrapyard, some have been repainted and some have rusted to death. The exact number of produced units is unknown. 8000 Charlestons have been built in total over the period of ten years until the end of the 2CV. That averages in 800 per year, so I'm doing a wild guess now by assuming that 400 yellow-and-black Charlestons have been produced.
Experts guess that of these number, only about ten have survived until 2001 in Germany, and that maybe there still are 50 worldwide, although many might not be road safe any more.
Information about the production period is somewhat contradictory. The Charleston-yellow Jaune Hélios (color code AC 336) was apparently used only from september 1982 until September 1983, but there are yellow Charlestons with a first registration in July 1982 (unfortunately the ORGA number is unknown). That has to be clarified as well.
There is not much known about the yellow-and-black Charlestons but I'm trying to change that over the time and present the results here.
