 CITROËN TO OPEN HERITAGE CENTRE
One of the world's most influential car makers,
Citroën, is to open a heritage centre later this year with space to
display more than 250 cars, as well as offering a car restoration centre and
workshop, a model sales area and a library to contain the archives of the
company.
During its long history, Citroën has not
only produced cars that have had a profound affect on the whole car industry,
such as the Citroën DS, the 2CV and the Citroën Traction Avant, the
company has also been at the forefront of developing new technology. This
ranges from the helical gears now used by every car maker in the world and
which form the basis of the Citroën double chevron logo, through front
wheel drive, aerodynamics and its famed advances in suspension
design.
The new Citroën Heritage Centre, which is
under construction at the Aulnay Citroën factory near Paris, will bring
together Citroën's own collection of classic cars and displays which have,
until now, been spread through the company or left in long term storage. The
Centre will provide a unique resource for students of the car industry as well
as fans and car enthusiasts of the Citroën marque.
