Artcurial – La Vente Citroën at Rétromobile 2016

A plethora of Citroëns, many very rare, are to be sold at Retromobile in Paris this coming February.   48 at the Artcurial Motorcars auction alone and most from the private collection of Citroën collector André Trigano will go on the block February 6.

Trigano is a brother of one of the founders of Club Mediterranean and a government official in the Ariège department in the Midi-Pyrénées region of southwestern France.  He is a also a racing driver.  His family fled Paris during World War II and settled in Ariège … At 14, he enlisted with the Partisans and fell head over heels in love with the Traction Avant.

In 1951, he participated in his first Tour de France Auto driving a Hotchkiss, but dropped in Lourdes. The following year, he drove from the Monte Carlo Rally in his Austin A90.  After that his Traction Avant period began where he engaged in several events with his Citroën… Until the terrible accident of his friend Pierre Levegh during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1955.  He then stopped racing and started collecting Citroëns in earnest.

His collection of Citroëns covers a large portion of the Citroën range marketed between 1919 and 1990.  And now, at 90 years of age, he feels it’s time to sell his extraordinary collection.
