1930 CITROEN C6 I "Tow truck Chassis 53698 French registration 10 000 / 15 000€ In 1930, the Citroën C6 touring car was the brand's top-of-the-range model. And just like the C4 tourer, the C6 also had its "utility" version. While the C4 pickup could claim a payload of 800 to 1200 kg, the C6 and its powerful 6-cylinder 2,442 cc engine could easily carry a load of 1,800 to 2,000 kg. With a curb weight of 1700 to 1800 kg, it's a fairly light vehicle. In terms of taxation, it's amusing to note that the government offered power ratings on demand: the C6 touring car was taxed at 14 hp. The C6 utility vehicle, on the other hand, was taxed at the same level if fitted with a passenger-carrying body, without being considered a "public transport" vehicle. But if the bodywork was intended for goods transport, then the tax rating was reduced to 12 hp. As our example is a 14 hp, it's a touring car converted into a tow truck. Many of the top-of-the-range pre-war cars received these conversions just after the war. Inexpensive, powerful and robust, they were ideal candidates for garages. The example we present here belonged for many years to the Fougeray family. They acquired it in 2001 from a Breton enthusiast who had owned it since 1985. Visibly restored in the early 2000s, this tow truck still has its specific features, such as its winch, which is functional. The only drawback is that the cracked passenger window needs replacing. Acquired by our collectors a few years ago, 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. Once back on the road, this beautiful tow truck will be the attraction of the brand's gatherings. 1930 CITROEN C6 I 'Tow truck Chassis 53698 French registration document In 1930, the Citroën C6 touring car was the brand's top-of-the-range model.
