STARTER KIT Citroen Trefle 1/24

Description

Product Description:
The Citroën Trèfle Starter Kit from Heller (ref. 56702) is a complete set to build a 1/24 scale model of one of France’s most iconic cars of the 1920s. Perfect for both car model enthusiasts and automotive history lovers, this kit includes everything needed for assembly and painting.

Historical Background:
The Citroën Type C, nicknamed “Trèfle” (cloverleaf) in its three-seat configuration, was produced from 1922 to 1926. Lightweight, economical, and reliable, it played a key role in making cars accessible to a wider public in France.
Its nickname comes from its unique seating arrangement: two seats side-by-side at the front and one at the rear, forming a cloverleaf shape when viewed from above. Powered by an 856 cc 4-cylinder engine, it could reach around 60 km/h — a respectable speed for its time and well suited for both daily use and leisurely drives.
Today, the Citroën Trèfle stands as a symbol of French industrial ingenuity in the interwar period and remains highly sought after by collectors.
