C 1928 CITROËN B14G TORPEDO Commercial Chassis... Lot 41

C 1928 CITROËN B14G TORPEDO Commercial Chassis 318260 To be restarted French registration 8 000 / 12 000€ Presented in October 1926 in Paris, the Citroën B14 represented a small revolution for the brand with the chevrons. It was the first Citroën with an all-steel body. It also benefited from a major innovation in the history of the automotive industry: nitrocellulose paint. Nitrocellulose paint considerably reduced paint application times, and hence production times and man-hours, thereby lowering prices and boosting profits. In all, 127,600 B14s were produced in just two years. A substantial number for the time. While many different body styles were offered as standard, the Torpedo is one of the most attractive. It's one of these that we're offering today. In generally good condition, this B14 G is the result of an old restoration and just needs a good tune-up before it can be driven again! Acquired by our collectors a few years ago, the car became part of the museum collection. Since then, it has remained at a standstill, and needs to be put back on the road.
