Lemonade 2024

This year's Citronnades was the 10th in a row where classic Citroen cars from far and wide gather in Sainte-Marie-la-Mer in Occitanie, France.

 

Citronnade - or "lemonade" - is a lemonade made from lemons. But here it is used for a collection of fine classic cars from the Citroen brand. Citronnades includes, among others, Traction Avant, 2CV, DS and ID, Ami, Méhari, Dyane, GS and GSA, CX, SM, XM and LN/LNA. The former car brand Panhard are today also considered Citroen after they were incorporated under the same brand a long time ago. The sports car manufacturer Burton must also be taken into account, since they build sports cars based on 2CV donor cars.
 
Join us on a tour among beautiful Citronnades at this year's exhibition!

 

 
The pre-war 11CV Commerciale is an extended version of Tracton Avant with top-hinged rear door. I don't know if it is the first - but it must be a very early edition of the combi-coupé. Advertisements of the time showed a wine merchant rolling two wine barrels into the trunk. There was impressively plenty of space, but you should think twice before braking suddenly with 2 rolling wine barrels behind the seat!

 

 
Burton is technically a vintage car, but can be delivered factory new. It is a sports car based on the 2CV. Building a Burton starts with an existing 2CV. You need to have a donor vehicle to register it, although everything can be replaced, including the frame. Burton Cars provides everything you need to build a new car from scratch. The only thing you need is the chassis number from a 2CV, which Burton can of course also provide. So if you don't already have a 2CV, you can buy a ready-built car, or a used Burton from the manufacturer. In the picture above, there are two great Burton cars.
