Citroën Chenilette

Citroën still was one of the largest producers in Europe in 1931. In order to increase its numbers even further, spectacular travels were undertaken to show the lasting durability of its products. The vehicle shown above was built for a journey from Beirut to Peking, at a time when most of the trip had to be covered without roads. In the Himalaya heights of 4200 m had to be overcome. Sometimes, the car had to be taken apart, and transported in parts by locals.
