Do you have a Citroën protagonist of a good story? If so and you want to restore it for FREE to continue enjoying it… You are in luck. Of course, you have to be the winner of one of the initiatives that Citroën has launched to celebrate its first centenary.
But don't worry, although surely a lot of cars will be running… You don't have to compete with fans from all over the world. The idea that we are announcing has been launched only for Spain. In fact, the Spanish Federation of Antique Vehicles (FEVA) collaborates with her, which is also on its anniversary. Specifically that of his 25 years.
Which are the requirements? Well, simply have a Citroën that has a good family or emotional history and is in need of a restoration. So now you know, if the 2CV that powered your family decades ago is gathering dust in a warehouse ... Your uncle's rally AX is still immobilized for not having made the necessary repairs ... Or the CX ambulance in which half the town went to hospital no longer go out to the asphalt, now they have the opportunity to come back to life. Citroën is looking for a vehicle that treasures a special and exciting history to recognize.
What if I win? Among all the candidatures - we advise you to adequately tell the history of the vehicle - Citroën will choose one, assuming all the costs of the restoration. By the way, Units manufactured in Spain will have priority. But anyway, with the more than 13 million vehicles that have come out of the PSA Vigo factory for 61 years… It is not a very restrictive requirement either.
Ah, one more thing. If you have in mind to present yourself, you should get going now, because the application period ends before March 3. The application must be sent to secretaria@feva.es
CITROËN ORIGINS, VIRTUAL MUSEUM
If you cannot take part in this restoration initiative because you do not have a Citroën… We take this opportunity to give you an alternative to explore the brand history without leaving your home: Citroën origins. A website where you can explore the hundred years of the Gala brand through 77 models and a helicopter.
You have 360-degree views of both the interior and exterior of the vehicles, which is complemented by the engine sound of each and every one of them as well as extensive technical specifications. Something like going to Citroën Heritage museum where the brand guards more than 400 vehicles ... But without getting up from the sofa at home.
Enjoying this website designed for the Centenary, we will await the news of who wins the award for restoration paid for by Citroën. Knowing the universe of the double chevron, it sure is an interesting car with a very good history.
