1930 Citroën AC4 Torpédo Commerciale Chassis 105.009 Beautiful restoration Mythical model Collector's registration 10 000 / 12 000€ The Citroën C4 was originally named AC4, in reference to André Citroën 4, to differentiate it from the 1925 C4, which was never produced. The letter A was soon forgotten, and only the C4 ending remained. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1928 to replace the aging B14, whose export sales figures were falling sharply. Citroën imagined a more powerful, more comfortable vehicle, very close to American standards, which were a hit in every country. The example we present is a 1930 Torpédo Commercial. It was completely restored in 2010. Acquired by our collectors in 2020, the car immediately became part of their museum collection. Since then, it has remained at a standstill, and needs to be put back on the road. 1930 Citroën AC4 Torpédo Commerciale Chassis 105.009 Beautiful restoration Mythical model Collector's registration document The Citroën C4 was originally called the AC4, in reference to André Citroën 4, to differentiate it from the 1925 C4, which was never produced.
