Description
2007 Citron C2 VTS By Loeb 1. 6 16V | 58, 000 Miles | Long clean MoT | Just Serviced | Timing belt | Front Shocks
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-preserved Citron C2 By Loeb. This is based on the VTS and is the most desirable special edition of Citron's lightweight sporting hatchback and is number 392 of 621 made for the UK, only 120 are left on the road with approximately the same SORN so is highly likely to be an appreciating future modern classic.
Finished in its signature red and showing just 58, 000 miles from new, this car has had only four owners in total, with the current owner having cared for it since 2013. It has been maintained well maintained throughout ownership and remains completely original and unmodified.
The car has recently benefited from a major service including replacing the timing belt and new front shock absorbers so is ready to be enjoyed. It will be supplied with a comprehensive history file documenting its maintenance and ownership.
The bodywork presents extremely well with excellent deep shine, while the interior remains clean, original and remarkably well preserved. As expected of an honest 18-year-old car there are a small number of minor age-related imperfections, including a small dent to a rear quarter panel, but overall it remains one of the tidiest and most genuine examples available.
Unlike many surviving examples, this car has escaped modification and retains the character and appearance that made the By Loeb edition special. Lightweight, eager and engaging to drive, it represents a disappearing era of simple, analogue French hot hatches.
