(Essen, Germany)

Billed as "The Worlds leading vintage car trade fair", the “Technoclassica” in Essen, has been in 2009 a great place to show off activities of German Citroen car clubs to the almost 170.000 visitors.

On the other half, the 90 years of Automobiles Citroen retrospective started with a chassis #189 Type A 1919, Panhard DB Le Mans cabriolet, DS19, CX Prestige, SM, and not to forget the 2CV Charleston.

In 2009, Arras welcomed an exceptional Citroën-demonstration : 75 Hours for 75 Years to celebrate the 75^th anniversary of the Traction Avant, never seen before.

The TU Nord thus proposes a rally to discover more of the Pas-de-Calais:

This rally is open for all Citroens more than 30 years old (first time in traffic former to June 26th, 1980, the certificate of registration is the proof).
The tour will respect its title and will take you along the diversity of this department; bucolic valleys of l'Authie, of la Course; the Capes; the historic sites of the Second world war; the mining country.
