Hello to all my friends and thanks for your interest in this construction of the Citroen Torpedo.
This car built by André Citroen in 1922, had the nickname of small super pop lemon, name given by the fact that all the first models built were of lemon yellow color, having been built in other colors from 1924.
As this car weighed only 540 kg. It was tax exempt in France, which is why this magnificent car was one of the biggest successes in car sales in Europe.
Today I will show some more progress in the construction of this new challenge, I hope you like it and appreciate it.
