1928 Citroen 12/24

Gorgeous, Vintage Wedding Car – 1928, Right Hand Drive, Slough Built, Vintage Citroen 12/ 24 (known in France as B14) – fantastic price !

Whilst this car is privately owned by me, it has been loaned to, and used extensively as a wedding car. The company is not giving up trading but looking to cut down the workload to make it more manageable, hence, this car is now for sale along with an identical 2nd car (see other listing).

The car was built in Slough, Buckinghamshire, England in 1928. This English (RHD) Right Hand Drive Citroen 12/ 24 Saloon is one of 4 ‘Slough-Built’ RHD survivors (I have 3 of the 4 at the present time).
This car was purchased by me in 2006, and it is absolutely gorgeous, and very rare. Since purchase, the car has been kept in a fully insulated, lined, car garage in a 24hr humidity-controlled environment, so has not degraded from the condition it was in when purchased.
Having said it is RHD and rare, there are 1, 000’s of left-hand drive survivors in France, which means spare parts are plentiful.
If you want to look up history the registration number is SV 7853.
IMPORTANT :
- The car has been heavily ‘weddingised’ to provide 100% reliability and able to maintain 50MPH on most roads, it is also capable of travelling long distances, whilst providing around 30 miles per gallon too, so cheap to run.
- We kept up with the MOT until we stopped using it for weddings in 2022, however, we have kept it on the road with tax and insurance during this time, so it still gets exercised.
The car is a historic vehicle, therefore, it benefits from ….
- Free of charge road tax.
- Cheap insurance, even for wedding use with public liability.
- MOT exempt.
- ULEZ exempt.
- It is also fitted with a tracker and immobilizer system (not activated at the present time).

Weddings potential
- The car is absolutely Gorgeous, and one of the prettiest around.
- It has reverse opening rear doors (nicknamed suicide doors), so easy to get in and out of, and the photographers like this because the door does not get in the way of their photographs of the happy couple in the back.
- There is loads of space for a wedding dress.
- Over the years this car has proved 100% reliability for over 300 weddings/ events.
- The profit, after overheads, on a wedding is around £250 per local wedding – the further the distance from the base the more charged.
- The car is fitted with a very efficient heater unit, therefore, if you wish, you could do weddings all year round.
- This is an excellent value wedding car to buy, maintain and drive.
- All wedding modifications have already been done, the car is ready for work. The engine/ brakes are newer than original, and the engine being of cross-flow design, it does not suffer from fuel vapourisation as so many classic/ vintage cars do using modern fuels.
-The gearbox is full synchromesh so not a crash box, it is a pleasure to drive.
- Wedding cars are exempt from statutory private hire licensing.
- We have used the car as a static display ‘gatsby’ car, and it can be used for proms too, though, this is subject to your local licensing office approval – (this differs area to area).
- This would be a great asset to run a wedding car business alongside another wedding business, we used to run it alongside a photography business, twice the income for your advertising. Alternatively, a great part time pastime or for additional income alongside existing employment.
- The gorgeous car can also be taken to shows, exhibited, and provides cheaper or sometimes even free access to so many key historic places.
- Driving a car on a wedding is an enjoyable thing to do, and it is not like going to work at all ! … After all, when can you go to work and everybody is happy?
- If you understand social media (or you know someone who does) you will have no issues in securing loads of work for the car.
I have records of all work undertaken in my ownership. I have many of the original parts that were removed from the car when it was ‘weddingised’ by the previous owner, in addition, I have collected many missing original parts over the years, so potentially it could be converted back to original (should a future owner wish to) all of these parts come with the car, if they are wanted – for full details regarding these items, what has been done to the car, please contact me for details.
To be clear, I am selling this car as superb working vintage wedding car and not as an original car, however, it remains a gorgeous 1928 vintage car, with all the charm that the era had to offer, and is a pleasure to drive.
I HAVE A SECOND IDENTICAL MODEL CAR TO THIS FOR SALE, IN WHITE, SEE LISTING.

Viewing is highly recommended. This is a Gorgeous, Vintage Wedding Car – 1928, Right Hand Drive, Slough Built, Vintage Citroen 12/ 24 (known in France as B14) – fantastic price !

This car was believed to be based in Norwich for much of its life.

It is fun to own, fun to drive and it is a very useable Vintage Car. It has a synchromesh gearbox and capable of cruising at a sensible 50MPH, with the added bonus of being capable of earning money from wedding use.
