1922 Citroën B2

Strong points

Highly sought-after vintage Citroën
Magnificent appearance and well preserved for its age
Reported to be in good working and driving order

The most

Launched in 1922, the B2 was the second Citroën and therefore the second European car to be manufactured using mass production techniques. André Citroën had closely studied Henry Ford's Model T production line and applied its methods to his own cars from the outset.

The vendor reports that this 1922 example is in good working and driving order, and appears to be remarkably well preserved given its 102 years of age! For those looking for a vintage Citroën to add to their collection, this is a very interesting vehicle.
