Lemon Juice - 3

Following the success of Citroensap, volumes 1 and 2, author Thijs van der Zanden once again shares fascinating stories, celebrated models, and amusing facts from Citroën’s rich history in this third edition. This time, the spotlight is on Citroën’s top models: we trace the family tree from the first C6 in the 1920s right up to the current Citroën C5 X.

Did you know, for example, that there’s half a Citroën C6 in a museum in Paris? Or that André Citroën launched a premium brand as early as the beginning of the 1920s? Why are the Citroëns 8, 10, and 15 called Rosalie? And what did Porsche develop for the Traction Avant? How did the magazine l’Auto-Journal catch a prototype of the Citroën DS (and why did the police make the editors take off their shoes)? And where is the thirteenth window of a Citroën XM? Why was the Xantia sold as the XM in China? And is there really a Dutchman working at Citroën who designs all the wheels? Just a selection of the topics covered in this third volume of Citroensap. A delightful read for anyone looking for an original book about cars, and essential reading for all Citroën drivers interested in the history of their brand.
