Over the years, Citroen has come up with more than a few quirky ideas. The second car it produced, the 1922 Type C 5HP, became known as the ‘petit citron' (little lemon) because of its small size and the yellow paint colour you could order it in. Since then, there has been the Citroen Picasso, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso's use of shape. The Citroen DS 19 was the vehicle of choice for the French President Charles de Gaulle, who survived an assassination attempt in 1962 thanks to the car's superior suspension system, allowing his chauffeur to drive away after two of the tyres were shot.
Launched in 2006, the Citroen C1 shares components with the notoriously reliable Toyota Aygo, allowing it to compete with rival city cars like the Hyundai i10. It's cheap to run, with outstanding fuel economy and few common problems. The main things to look out for are issues with the infotainment system and worn interior components. Generally, the C1 is affordable to repair, though fixing bodywork damage can be costly relative to the price of the car. In WhatCar?'s 2023 reliability survey, it was the joint 8th most reliable small used car, matching the Skoda Citigo, though Citroen finished last for reliability as a brand.
There are many types of car restoration, some requiring more time, expertise, and money than others. Ultimately, the extent of the work required depends on the condition and age of the car. Some vehicles may only need attention in certain areas, such as car paint restoration or car seat restoration.
However, a more complex job may involve rebuilding an engine or stripping an entire vehicle down to the metal underneath and restoring all the components and body parts. The aim is to get the car looking and driving as well as it did when it was new.
If you want to give new life to a classic car, try to find a specialist classic car restorer who is knowledgeable about the make and model you have. A classic car restoration is a big and costly project, so finding the right mechanic is a must.
