Bruce's Citroen 12/24 seen in the 1950s.
Bruce sent in these photos when signing up to the site forum, it shows him and a group of friends stood around his 1927 Citroen saloon. Bruce adds: "My first car (£15) was a rear axle drive 1927 Citroen B2, otherwise known as a 12/24, it had a huge body capable of containing the tall hats worn by dignitaries of that era. I/we overhauled it from stem to stern, at that time I had already been a motor mechanic for 4 years and it ran for many years as a crumpet seeker for youngsters. I owned many classics from the 30s 40s and 50s eventully qualifying to become a factory mechanic on Volkswagen after many courses at London and Doncaster. During the 60s I formed Greyline Motors here in Peterborough, this ran successfully for 30 years until I retired."

A look on the DVLA site shows that this vintage Citroen, registration DO 6850, is still on the road and taxed. Does anyone know who the current owner is? |
