As the 32nd "Rétromobile" show opens its doors with the theme of "Stars and their Cars", Citroën will present several cars of stars.   Sacha Guitry's C6 The Citroën C6 with its new 6-cylinder enginewas unveiled at the 1928 Paris Motor Show. This top-end model offered a smooth drive and a range of luxury bodywork options. The interiors were rich and refined. Actor and dramatic author Sacha Guitry was taken aback by the elegance of this two-door coupé, the rear part of which was modified following his request. This 1929 car, which is on show atRétromobile, was acquired by Citroën a few years ago. Some repairs have been made, including the restoration of the fine chrome finish. A 1923 B2 Caddy will also be on show. Citroën built 223 “Torpedoes”, one of which was used by Mistinguett.   The Citroën clubs As the Rosalie celebrates its 75th birthday, the Automobile Club André Citroën is exhibiting an extremely rare Rosalie 15 A coupé, of which only three still exist. "L’idéale DS France" is exhibiting a surprising 1.5-scale reproduction of the orange DS 19 that features in Frankin's comic book "Z comme Zorglub". A B2 used by Mistinguett is on show in the ICCR space on the Citroën stand. "L’Amicale Citroën" is presenting one of the authentic, and suitably bashed up, yellow 2CV 007 models, powered by a GS engine, that featured in the 1981 James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only" with Roger Moore and Carole Bouquet. "Les Amis du type H" are exhibiting the Citroën van used in the French TV series "Louis la Brocante". The French Citroën club is celebrating 70 years of diesel, and the association of 2CV clubs the 40th anniversary of the Dyane.   More information about the 2007 Retromobile Show on the website www.retromobile.fr   <BACK>  <TOP>         CANFUL GROUP Copyright©2008 CITROEN HONG KONG.
