The development of the incomparable Citroën CV dates back to 1936, ie a couple of years after the company had been rescued by Michelin. Research carried out amongst France's largely rural population determined the unique design brief, that called for: a low-priced, rugged `umbrella on four wheels' that would enable four peasants to drive 110lb of farm goods to market at 31mph in clogs and via muddy, unpaved roads; including transporting eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. Delayed by WWII, production ran for 42 years from 1948, during which 3,872,583 examples were manufactured. `348 UYX' came to these shores last year. It sports Grey bodywork and Blue interior trim and has clearly been the subject of a thorough restoration, and is now considered by the vendor as `very good' in regard to its bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, twin-cylinder engine and manual gearbox. Its accompanying paperwork includes a collection of invoices and Dutch state of vehicle document.
