The Type C, otherwise known as `Cul de Poule' (hen's bottom) was first shown at the October 1921 Paris Salon, in order to meet demand for a small, economical car. Also labelled the 5CV, it was Citroën's first mass-produced motorcar and sold between 1922 and 1925. This delightful Yellow over Black example had an early conversion from Cloverleaf-style Three-Seater to Four-Seater Tourer. It was imported to the UK from Mallorca in 1964 and was in regular use until 1985, when it was placed under cover and left for 16 years. Spannered by Simon Hawkes Classic Restorations, comprehensive refurbishment by the late Alfred Hill began in 2001 and, though all but finished, was ceased in 2003 - since when the little Citroen has clocked-up just 24 miles. `FMV 7B' now comes complete with Black tonneau cover, spare engine block, green log book and lots of paperwork. Still needing finishing, it nonetheless has Gallic charm aplenty!
