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.

C. 1924 CITROEN 5 HP C3 "torpedo 3-seater t3-1 Chassis no. 42204 French registration Nice patina 10 000 / 15 000€ While the French government encouraged carmakers to invest in cycle-cars through tax breaks, Citroën preferred to focus on small cars. The 5HP was the first Citroën to enter the small car segment, then monopolized by Peugeot and Renault. Such was its success that, at the same date, it accounted for almost half of Citroën's sales. In 1923, a convertible version with 3 seats, 2 at the front and one at the rear, was launched, earning it the nickname 5 CV "Trèfle". The model offered was a 3-seater torpedo (T3-1) or "Faux trèfle" with 3 staggered seats (folding seat). The body is also based on a wooden structure, to which preformed sheet metal is nailed. The rear end is more rounded than that of the 2-seater torpedo. A folding folding seat is fitted at the front when the passenger seat is in the rear position. The rear trunk is located behind the driver's seat. It is accessible from above and closed by a lid. Unrestored, this pretty 5hp has a beautiful patina. It's rare to find a car that's almost a hundred years old in this condition. Acquired by our collectors a few years ago, the car immediately became part of their museum collection. Having been out of action for many years, it will now have to be put back on the road.

Lot 43

Estim. 10 000 - 12 000 EUR

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.
