In pictures: the iconic, silly and downright awesome cars from Citroen's heritage auction

Citroen has had to downsize its fleet of heritage cars and old concepts, so flogged some earlier in December 2017. Step through our gallery to see the maddest and coolest cars on offer... ► What is it? 2010 Tubyk Concept ► How much did it sell for? €36,960 ► It’s a 22nd Century H Van! Well, that was the idea behind the Tubyk concept shown at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show anyway. Safe to say Citroen’s designers nailed it with the front end; they named the oval shape on the front ‘Cleopatra’s nose’. ► What is it? 2010 Tubyk Concept ► How much did it sell for? €36,960 ► The nasal reference comes from a quote from Blaise Pascal a French mathematician and physicist, who said: ‘Cleopatra’s nose: had it been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been changed.’ Didn’t think you’d get a history lesson here, did you? ► What is it? 1924 Type C 5 HP ► How much did it sell for? €14,580 ► The oldest car put up for sale was this Type C convertible. According to the listing, André Citroen chose the paint his cars bright colours to mock Henry Ford’s policy of painting every Model T black. Har har, etc. ► What is it? 1984 Eco 2000 concept ► How much did it sell for? €16,240 ► One of the prototype concept cars built in the mid-Eighties designed to help lower fuel consumption and gauge public reaction to the future of the car. Obviously the designers had been watching Blade Runner one too many times. ► What is it? 1991 Citela concept ► How much did it sell for? €14,560 ► Citroen was still hard at work trying to find a way to minimise the footprint (both carbon and dimensionally) of the car in the city in the Nineties. The Citela was an electric car capable of hitting 68mph. ► What is it? 1991 Citela concept ► How much did it sell for? €14,560 ► It’s much shorter and a smidge slimmer than a Citroen C1 and comes with a simplistic interior and really jazzy seats. You wouldn’t get that hue on the upholstery of a Cactus these days… ► What is it? 1990 BX GTI ► How much did it sell for? €11,200 ► After the recent Peugeot takeover, Citroen wanted to inject some zest into its angular BX with an ill-fated foray into the World Rally Championship with the 4TC. Alongside that, this hot(ish) GTI model had a 1.9-litre engine that was good for 124mph. ► What is it? 1990 BX GTI ► How much did it sell for? €11,200 ► Frankly this was one of the less weird Citroen cockpits out there, bit it’s still pretty kitsch in here, right? This 27-year-old car has done just 21,499 miles. ► What is it? 2007 Jumpy ‘Atlante des Nieges’ ► How much did it sell for? €17,920 ► This 2007 Jumpy van was chopped up by Swiss brand Sbarro to be used as a ski slope shuttle. ► What is it? 2007 Jumpy ‘Atlante des Nieges’ ► How much did it sell for? €17,920 ► Five fully-equipped skiing passengers can sit inside, and the auction listing claims the Jumpy as the largest cabriolet ‘that has ever existed.’ ► What is it? 2007 Berlingo Flanerie ► How much did it sell for? €10,640 ► This absolute monstrosity is another modified Citroen from Sbarro. The Flanerie (no, not a flan shop on a French boulevard) is a butchered Berlingo concept designed to be some kind of tour vehicle. ► What is it? 2007 Berlingo Flanerie ► How much did it sell for? €10,640 ► The Flanerie seats nine in total and has a rear overhang so large it has its own postcode. ► What is it? 2014 C-Elyseé WTCC ► How much did it sell for? €24,640 ► The regular C-Elyseé saloon is a current China-only model based on the C4 we had in Europe until it was (finally) killed off in 2017. This World Touring Car Championship version dominated the 2014 season. ► What is it? 2014 C-Elyseé WTCC ► How much did it sell for? €24,640 ► The WTCC car was helmed by the legend that is Sebastien Loeb, along with José Maria López who ended up becoming season champion. ► What is it? 2013 C Cactus Concept ► How much did it sell for? €4,480 ► How about a concept that actually made production? This recogniseable thing was the precursor to the Airbump-infested C4 Cactus. ► What is it? 2013 C Cactus Concept ► How much did it sell for? €4,480 ► The floating roof design also survived into the production car and the wheels made it onto some of the posher DS models.
