Very rarely does a genuine prewar Citroen cabriolet ever hit the market.
This is an opportunity to acquire one of very few, Slough built cabriolets.
Verified by the Citroen Traction owners club and known to the club, it was featured in a past T.O.C. Members magazine.
This car oozes patina and originality, finished in old English white with contrasting dark red leather interior and mahogany dash board.
The paintwork would benefit from some improvement but is generally smart.
The shell appears to be in rust free condition as does the underneath of the vehicle.
