The Citroën Car Club was founded on the 4th February 1949 by John Beresford-Layton, whose inspiration came whilst he was peacefully fishing in a rowing boat off the South Devon coast. After discussing the idea with several friends, who were also running pre-war Tractions, an advert was placed in The Autocar.
Now, 70 years later, the current membership does not differ much from those founder members in that they appreciate the design, technology and history that have gone into their cars and the Club provides the social opportunities of regular meetings and events.
