A less frequently seen commercial variant of the much admired Type B14
Richly patinated - as befits a vehicle approaching its hundredth birthday
Remarkably original, complete and well preserved
Excellent potential as a refurbishment project, offered for sale after a period of dry storage
The appeal
The Type B14 was introduced in October 1926 at the Paris Motor Show. An entirely new platform for Citroën, it boasted an ultra-light chassis that was used as the basis for several body styles, including a range of utility vehicles.
Here we have a very original bakery van dating from 1927. It has a rich patina to the paintwork although the wooden rear body remains in very good condition. Having been in storage since 2017, it now requires a mechanical overhaul. For those looking for a vintage Citroën utility vehicle, this is an excellent opportunity.
