1952 Citroën U23 Bâché Lot n° 103

Vehicle to be restored Emblematic utility vehicle Amazing reliability French title Sold without technical inspection Chassis n° 340631 The last vehicle designed during André Citroën’s lifetime, the Citroën Type 23 is above all the vehicle with the longest life in the catalog of the brand, remaining in production from 1935 to 1969, in two versions of bodywork. Designed by Flaminio Bertoni like the Traction, it uses its stylistic codes but also its engine, albeit mounted in rear-wheel drive. Restyled after the war, it is was then called U23. Put into circulation in 1952, the U23 that we propose to you was purchased by Citroën for its 50 years, in 2002. Its dashboard is no longer original and it is missing its ignition wire set and the igniter. A complete restoration will be necessary to bring back to life this monument of French automotive history.
