The Appeal

The Citroën AC 4, introduced in 1928, is a classic French automobile that embodies the elegance and engineering prowess of its era. This particular 1929 model stands out due to its comprehensive restoration and meticulous upkeep. Restored from the ground up in 2005 in Rochefort, France, this AC 4 has been lovingly maintained and presents a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With only 68,351 miles on the clock, this Citroën AC 4 has seen limited use, averaging just 719 miles per year. The vehicle has been converted to a 12-volt system, enhancing its usability in modern conditions. The recent engine overhaul, including a new rear main oil seal and battery, ensures that it runs well with no oil leaks. The burgundy and black exterior, paired with a like-new beige interior, adds to its timeless appeal.
