CITROEN CAR INSURANCE

When Andre Citroen founded his first company in 1902 he aquired the patent for a Polish gear-cutting technique which produced gears with chevron shaped teeth, running more quietly and efficiently than other gears. When he started making and selling cars in 1919 the chevron logo from his gears was adopted, and remains as todays emblem for Citroen cars. From pioneering steel-bodied cars in 1924 and producing the revolutionary Traction Avant in 1934 with its monocoque construction and front-wheel drive (both firsts) Citroen went from strength to strength with the 2CV in production from 1950 to 1991 - one of the longest production runs in history. When Citroen unveiled the rather gorgeous DS at Paris Motor show in 1955 thay sold 12000 on the first day. After merging with Peugot in 1974 Citroen continued making unusual cars with the CX and the later XM flying the flag for French technical innovation and just plain oddity.

The modern range has become a little more conservative than the classic Citroens of old which love them or hate them (I still rate my CX as the best car I ever owned) at least provoked a reaction. They have, however, built a strong reputation for value and reliability (not something you could say of the CX) and seen sales increase to the point that the Xsara Picasso has become Britains best-selling MPV. With a great deal of success on the World Rally circuits Citroen are regaining the popularity that they lost when they became a little too eccentric for the High Street buyer, and with the odd experiment like the C3 Pluriel sneaking onto the market maybe the wierdness of old is on the way back!
