The car has 94,289 km on the odometer and is finished in grey, with the original chassis number 10A26196A clearly visible under the hood. The bodywork has been repainted and presents well, although there are signs of normal use. The underside shows only surface rust.

One of the nicest and freshest examples I have seen in recent years. It goes without saying that nowadays, with expensive labor and spare parts, restoring a Citroën over 70 years old is no longer economically justifiable. And that is exactly what makes this offer so special. This vehicle is a unique opportunity for a discerning Citroën enthusiast looking for a professionally restored car, suitable for both intensive and occasional use. You can do anything with this car – from detailing it to concours level, to driving it daily or taking it on long trips. Such an opportunity rarely presents itself and is becoming increasingly rare, as I do not know of any professional restorers who still deal with this type of restorations with the intent to resell. Are you as excited as I am and does it sound like music to your ears? Come visit me and we will take a drive together through the countryside of Aalter so I can show you all the potential of this exceptional car. Read more
