The seller offers for sale this 1929 Citroën AC4, powered by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. According to the seller, this is an original and genuine AC4 that comes with complete documentation, including the history of the car, which was formerly owned by the mayor of a large Belgian city. The file also contains many old maintenance invoices, giving a rare insight into the life of this pre-war Citroën. The car has been restored, and the entire restoration was recorded and can be demonstrated by means of photographs. The chassis has been fully restored and the engine was rebuilt during that restoration and has been run recently. The interior has not yet been completed and still requires finishing, which is reflected in the condition score below and offers the next owner the opportunity to finish the car to their own taste.

The AC4 was introduced by Citroën in 1928 as the successor to the B14 and marked an important step in the company’s development. With its American-influenced styling, all-steel body construction and robust four-cylinder engine, it brought a level of modernity and durability that helped establish Citroën as one of Europe’s leading volume manufacturers. The AC4 was sold alongside the six-cylinder AC6 and found customers across Europe, from private motorists to professional users, and surviving examples with documented history are increasingly hard to find.

Today, a pre-war Citroën with this level of documentation is a rewarding proposition for the collector or enthusiast. The combination of a restored chassis, a rebuilt engine, photographic restoration records and a known ownership history makes this AC4 a unique object, ready to be completed and enjoyed at classic car events, pre-war rallies or simply as a fascinating piece of French motoring history.
