Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A handsome 1929 Citroën AC4 'Torpedo' convertible with a 1628cc manual engine, recently fettled and described as a 'proper nice thing'. It underwent a significant restoration in the 1970s and engine rebuild in the 1990s, coming with extensive documentation.
Despite its age, it's reported to cruise well and starts easily, with the last MoT in 2012 showing low mileage. However, the absence of a current MoT and the 'sold as seen' disclaimer mean potential buyers should inspect thoroughly.

A few months ago it received a workshop fettle before being leased to Netflix, and today there are no known faults.
It has apparently been an instant starter, easy to use and own – in the vendor’s words, it’s a "proper nice thing!" It certainly appears to have been well looked after over the years, and comes with a good collection of invoices and correspondences.
These indicate a restoration in the 1970s which included a new aluminium body (costing over £10k) followed by a rebuild of the 1628cc 30HP engine in the 1990s, together with refurbishment of the chassis and running gear.A box of spares is also included, with documents also comprising the car's buff logbook from the 1950s and a collection of restoration photos and old Mo
