Lot details Registration No: YV 6269 Chassis No: 505997 Mot Expiry: None
A clean sheet design, the B14 was launched at the 1926 Paris Salon. Based around a very lightweight, ladder frame chassis, it featured quarter-elliptic leaf sprung suspension (single front, twin rear) and four wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1½ litre, sidevalve four-cylinder engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, it was reputedly capable of some 80km/h. Manufactured on both sides of the English Channel (Citroen had operated factory premises in Slough since 1923) the B14 was available with a wide range of body styles including Coupe de Ville, Laundelet and Taxi versions.
First UK registered on 13th April 1928 this particular right-hand drive example is understood to have had just nine owners from new (the last one for nine years). Finished in maroon over black with dark red leatherette upholstery, it is described by the vendor as being in very good overall condition (save for its interior and wheels/tyres which are merely rated as good). Reportedly the subject of an extensive rebuild in 1995, it has covered an average of twenty-five miles per year since then. Offered for sale with its original buff logbook, invoice, showroom brochure, sundry invoices and numerous expired MOT certificates, this elegant Vintage Citroen tourer has the further advantage of a dickey seat.
