AI Listing Summary
This 1952 French-manufactured car has been restored about 8 years ago and is described to be in very good condition mechanically and body-wise. It features a grey cloth interior, black body, and benefits from upgrades like a 12v conversion. It comes with a recent service and new parts, though potential buyers should verify the extent of 'minor reconditioning'.
Condition

The auctioneer's notes indicate that the car is in very good condition for its age, with a restoration that still looks fresh. The engine is described as quiet and pulling well, and the cloth trim is in excellent condition. However, being an older vehicle, some minor imperfections may be present, but overall, it presents very well.

Auctioneers Notes: This is, undoubtedly, one of the nicest Citroen’s of this period to come to our auction house.
The restoration still looks very fresh after 8 years and that beautiful cloth trim (seats, door cards, roof lining) is as nice as it was when supplied new.
Mechanically, the engine is quie...
