1925 Citroen Trefle type C

Chassis Number 69413
Registration number: 5749XH22 (French Carte Gris. )

Named the Trefle. the French word for Shamrock due to the clover leaf seating arrangement of two to the front & one to the rear; this car first came to us from long term French ownership. More colloquially the French call it "Cul de Poule" which translates to Hens Bottom.

This car is a wonderfully gallic alternative to an Austin seven or similar. The great benefit being that unlike an Austin 7. I at 6ft 3" tall am able to comfortably get in & drive it. Better to take it to the Tortoise Races rather then the Greyhound Races.

The engine is a little gem of 856cc which starts easily & runs beautifully & willingly. One is never going to set speed records in such a car. but we did see 60KMH come up easily on a minor down gradient. The gear box is a three speed affair. easy to use arranged in reverse similar to an early RR 20hp. Reverse being where one might usually find third. First where fourth would be & second where first usually resides etc. The magneto has been converted to coil ignition for reliability.

The paintwork is burgundy over black & presents well. The interior seats are black with matching interior trim. The black hood is in excellent condition & erects easily. Disc type wheels are fitted to the four corners with a rear mounted spare. The late last owner considerably improved the car during his tenure. welding a crack to the manifold. fitting a cut off switch & new battery & generally going through & fettling the car to put it in the super condition we find it in today.

The car is in stock now & may be viewed by appointment.
