Practical and characterful touring car for four passengers
The Plus
It all started, naturally, with the Type A, but it was Citroën's B2 that really launched André Citroën's formidable enterprise. This updated model of the first car combined pioneering mass production techniques in Europe with the brand's brand new 1,452cc, 20bhp engine. In five years, 89,841 examples left the factory.
All of which makes this magnificent 1923 B2 particularly special. No wonder it was the star of the Parade des Pilotes at Le Mans in 2007, with its elegant burgundy livery and black trim.
Like the wine, it has matured well. Overall condition is very good, inside and out, with a gentle patina that adds to its considerable charm. Since being purchased by the vendor in November 2011, it has benefited from regular servicing with tyres replaced, soft top and some woodwork refurbished. It is fitted with 12V electrics and indicators for added reliability and safety.
The B2 is one of the most significant cars in French motoring history, but surprisingly rare these days. This one is a real gem.
The seller tells us:
"A very eye-catching vehicle for its rarity and beauty. The beautiful sound of the engine often attracts attention".
This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making a bid, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
Car & Classic's secure payment system protects buyers and sellers. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder transfers payment into a third-party escrow account. Once the transfer of the vehicle is complete, both parties confirm they are happy with the sale and the money is released to the seller.
