CITROEN 10 LÉGÈRE (LIGHT 12)

Saloon, 4-seater sports, drophead coupé.

Typical thirties washing-saver model using 10CV mechanics, shorter, 106ins wheelbase, and four-light 8CV saloon body: tourers and dropheads (Slough, 1934 only) by Ranalah. Said to do 70mph, but caution advised with those brakes. Usual '34 British improvements (four speeds, 12 volts), but never offered here with the ifs of France's final NH (nouvel habillement) series. A few late cars, though, with the NH wing treatment.
