1CV

In the world of French classics and even more within the Citroën range, denomination of cars depending on their tax horsepower or Cheval Vapeur is quite common. The 7, 11, 15 and of course the 2CV are legendary. During this years 16th Citroën World Meeting we will be host to a veritable 1CV. Not a dressed down Tin Snail, no tax evasion, but a truly modern version of an old fashioned ‘Shay’.

Erik van Bronswijk from Nijmegen cut an abandoned Traction Avant in half. Lost the ‘Traction’ and the ‘Avant’ bits in one single move, but still knew how to find a good cause for the sad remains. Completely within André Citroëns original philosophy he horsed the cart. Literally. So don’t be surprised if amongst the chatter of numerous Tin Snails you hear the soft whinny of Erik’s old horsey.
