Description

CITROEN Type B14 Torpedo, 1926. Chassis no. 244460 Registration: 221 BJ 64 First registration: 11/1926 Mileage (not guaranteed): 39,899 km Vehicle in good appearance and working order Normal registration In the same collection since 1968 Torpedo "Double windscreen Quality restoration Soft top (recent) in good condition Rear side protection available (used condition) Spanish Veteran Car Club plaque (Madrid-Benidorm-Madrid Rally) Ignition/starter modification (no need for crank to start) Presentation: Presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1926, the Citroën B14 was a minor revolution for the marque aux chevrons. It was the first Citroën with an all-steel body! With, among other innovations, more efficient braking thanks to a servo brake acting on all four wheels, and a new painting technique that saved days on the production lines, the B14 was André Citroën's coup de grâce to competition from Peugeot and Renault. A huge success for its time, with over 120,000 units produced in just two years! Available in several body variants, the Citroën B14 Torpédo presented by Côte Basque Enchères is certainly among the most playful versions of this emblematic model. The first car to join the collection in 1968, more than half a century ago, it has enjoyed many adventures, as witnessed by a plaque from the veteran Spanish car club. In good overall condition following an early restoration, this beautiful torpedo with double windscreen features sound bodywork and a soft top in good condition. With its elegant burgundy livery, black mudguards, burgundy rims and ecru soft-top fabric, this B14 torpedo just needs a good overhaul before it's ready for new adventures! Aided by a contemporary starter motor that makes it easy to get going, it deserves to be part of a new collection that will enable it to find its way back to rallying on the beautiful secondary network.

C 1928 CITROËN B14G TORPEDO Commercial Chassis 318260 To be restarted French registration 8 000 / 12 000€ Presented in October 1926 in Paris, the Citroën B14 represented a small revolution for the brand with the chevrons. It was the first Citroën with an all-steel body. It also benefited from a major innovation in the history of the automotive industry: nitrocellulose paint. Nitrocellulose paint considerably reduced paint application times, and hence production times and man-hours, thereby lowering prices and boosting profits. In all, 127,600 B14s were produced in just two years. A substantial number for the time. While many different body styles were offered as standard, the Torpedo is one of the most attractive. It's one of these that we're offering today. In generally good condition, this B14 G is the result of an old restoration and just needs a good tune-up before it can be driven again! Acquired by our collectors a few years ago, the car became part of the museum collection. Since then, it has remained at a standstill, and needs to be put back on the road.

1930 Citroën AC4 Torpédo Commerciale Chassis 105.009 Beautiful restoration Mythical model Collector's registration 10 000 / 12 000€ The Citroën C4 was originally named AC4, in reference to André Citroën 4, to differentiate it from the 1925 C4, which was never produced. The letter A was soon forgotten, and only the C4 ending remained. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1928 to replace the aging B14, whose export sales figures were falling sharply. Citroën imagined a more powerful, more comfortable vehicle, very close to American standards, which were a hit in every country. The example we present is a 1930 Torpédo Commercial. It was completely restored in 2010. Acquired by our collectors in 2020, the car immediately became part of their museum collection. Since then, it has remained at a standstill, and needs to be put back on the road. 1930 Citroën AC4 Torpédo Commerciale Chassis 105.009 Beautiful restoration Mythical model Collector's registration document The Citroën C4 was originally called the AC4, in reference to André Citroën 4, to differentiate it from the 1925 C4, which was never produced.
