0I owned for a time this 1948 Citroën type 23 RU, fitted with a Perkins P4 engine giving 52 bhp. Quite brilliant on the start, but very uncomfortable, with a max speed of some 70 kph. Citroën trucks were popular because cheap, easy to maintain and solidly built, but very basic. Totally obsolete in the '60s.Do you still wish you had it Paul ?
I had to sell it mainly because I had no placeto keep it dry; if I had owned a shed or had a friend nearby who could have housed id, it would probably still be here. Unfortunately, there are no vintage truck meeting in the area, and driving hundreds of kms at the wheel of such a vehicle is no fun! Another idea would have been to buy a big truck to carry it, but very expensive! It’s now in Holland.
