Documentation

The Citroën Type A Torpedo is the first Citroën ever released. It was designed by Jules Salomon on behalf of André Citroën and marketed by Citroën between May 1919 and the end of 1921. The Citroën Type A Torpedo became a success in Europe. It was a reliable, solid car and therefore more "reliable" than many of its competitors at the time. Only after a few thousand kilometers was a visit to the garage for maintenance necessary. Today there are very few cars of this model left. The Citroën offered here is even more special because it is in a neat and driving condition. This is a car over 100 years old! The car has won prizes at the National Oldtimerdag Lelystad in the past. Various documentation is available, including old import documents and old handwritten descriptions by the old owner. The current owner has made a number of adjustments, such as mounting an original RB magneto ignition and turn signals have been fitted, for which no extra holes have been drilled to ensure originality. The car has been serviced where necessary. All in all a true classic. To get a good idea of the car, we advise you to come to one of the viewing days.
