"Upon collecting this car and rolling it into the workshop, we embarked on the startup process. With some simple measures and expert assistance from Dag Bever, affectionately known as "Mr. Citroën," the engine sprang to life smoothly when provided with an external fuel source. While the car does require a new battery, a fuel system cleaning, and brake renovation, it rolls smoothly and the gearshift operates without issue. Additionally, it appears that newer parts have been fitted at some point during its history."

Description

The car was originally sold as new by the firm Andersson & Lindblom in Skelleftea on July 8, 1955, to Master Tailor Arnold Frimodig in Skelleftea. In 1968, it became a part of the Citroën club under the ownership of someone from Vindeln and was registered with the number AC 24377. The subsequent owner, who hailed from Bjurholm west of Umeå, acquired it in 1973 and probably changed its registration to ACW 467. It then passed through another owner in Bjurholm in 1988 before coming into the possession of the current owner and collector in 1995. The last recorded inspection dates back to 1993. The car has been properly stored in a dry environment, and newer parts have been fitted under the bonnet, simplifying the startup process. A full service and a comprehensive brake renovation are in order, and once completed, the car will be prepared for its final inspection. It's poised to become a truly exceptional car for its next owner.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A full service, new battery, and brake renovation are needed. After these, it will be ready for a final inspection. It features nice wheels, older but usable tires, and extra yellow spotlights. While it runs well, we haven't driven it due to brake no brakes.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is complete and in great condition, with fine seats, door cards, headliner and dashboard with period knobs and instruments. The floor carpets require a thorough cleaning and some stains, The car still smell fine and not mouldy.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is impressively solid and straight, devoid of any prominent damages or visible rust. The underbody is exceptionally clean, as depicted in the pictures. While the paintwork is clean, it's somewhat challenging to determine if it's original, but it remains in good condition, albeit with a slightly dulled finish. There are some stone chips and paint chips around the rear and front wings, as well as a few minor cracks in the paint, as shown in the pictures. Nice chromework and detailing.

  • General condition:

    Getting this car back on the road should be a straightforward process, as there's no need for exterior or interior repairs. You'll soon have the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful 1950s Citroën next year.
