The Appeal
The AC4 was part of the successful C4 series that helped establish Citroën as a major manufacturer in the late 1920s. These vehicles were known for their reliability and innovative engineering for the era, making them collectable examples of early automotive design.
This 1929 example has undergone extensive restoration work, with the body completely disassembled, sandblasted, and treated against corrosion before receiving a complete repaint in red. The mechanical components have received equal attention, with a new clutch, serviced brake system, and rebuilt generator among the comprehensive work carried out. Maintained by a professional mechanic and stored in a garage since its purchase in 2015, this AC4 presents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored pre-war Citroën.
