Wow, a 2CV owner!! I had one once as a 2nd car, and once or twice I used in in snowy weather when my BMW was just too much of a liability! Put the little plastic guard on the grille when the nights start getting a bit frosty. You've no anti-freeze to worry about, so just make sure it's been serviced before winter sets in. You DO do it yourself I hope? It's worth changing the plugs, & puttting a slightly lower viscosity oil in it. ( 5/30w rather than 10/40) Maybe invest in new plug leads too, if the old ones have been on it a while, and generally check out brakes, steering gear, lights, & grease its nipples!!
(sorry, couldn't resist) I'd invest in a good jumper and wooly hat, cos the heating's usually a bit cr*p, and if you haven't already done so, change the cardboard tubes for metal ones, as they have a habit of catching fire.

If you want to wear a coat (I think the Citroen specification was to fit at 10°C and remove at 15°C) , you need the winter grill muff on. It makes no difference to STARTING, but will ensure the engine runs at the correct temperature.

Why are you driving that? Just toss it and get some better. I would be embarrassed if my friends see me driving that. :-p
You have to tune that in winter as well as summer. Is too much maintenance to deal with.
