Description
1920 CITROËN 5HP Sold without a registration certificate Chassis no. 12053 MOT due in 2026 - A highly sought-after little Torpédo - An iconic model Appearing in the wake of the motoring revolution spearheaded by André Citroën, the 5HP – nicknamed ‘the little Citroën’ – established itself as early as 1922 as one of the first cars accessible to the general public. Designed to make motoring accessible to all, it enjoyed immediate success thanks to its simple mechanics, attractive styling and low running costs. This example, which is over 100 years old, has been in the same family for more than twenty years. This year, it underwent a service at the Aveyron Flat garage, which replaced the spark plugs, serviced the carburettor, carried out an oil change and fitted four new tyres. The test drive was therefore successful. This pre-war vehicle, having endured dozens of decades, is in a condition that is truly astonishing, both in terms of its bodywork and its upholstery. It is rare to find a vehicle of this kind today that is over 100 years old. The test drive through the streets of Fontainebleau proved to be a pleasure, as this little 5hp was surprisingly easy to handle. Over the years, more elegant wood trim has been added to the doors, as well as additional gauges. As there is no registration certificate, this vehicle is sold without a roadworthiness test. The very essence of Citroën’s early days: a lightweight, elegant two-seater convertible steeped in history, ready to join a fine collection. 1920 CITROËN 5HP Type C2 Torpédo Sold without registration documents Chassis no. 12053 Next service due in 2026 - A highly sought-after little Torpédo - A legendary model Emerging in the wake of the motoring revolution spearheaded by André Citroën, the 5HP, nicknamed ‘the little Citroën’, established itself as early as 1922 as one of the first cars accessible to the general public.
