Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Perhaps the most charismatic of French marques, Citroen was established in 1919 by the brilliant, mercurial Andre Citroen. In 1934 Citroen introduced the Traction Avant model, which became one of the most famous designs in automobile history. In 1948, on a similar theme, the idiosyncratic, two-cylinder 2CV appeared, a much-loved model with a distinctive roll-back roof; it was built until 1990. Then there were the elegant, futuristic DS, the luxurious Maserati-engined SM and the acclaimed XM. This edition brings the story up to date with the popular Xsara saloon, the Picasso compact multi-purpose vehicle and the commodious and comfortable C5. About the author Jonathan Wood is a founder member of the staff of Classic Cars, the magazine which gave its name to the movement. He has written some 35 books and has a particular interest in French cars. Other titles for Shire by this author are: The Bean Austin Seven The Volkswagen Beetle The Bullnose Morris Classic Cars The Model T Ford The Rolls-Royce
