RH Michell’s Citroen Special from 1938. Almost nothing is known about this South Australian lakester, but it was built it in Woodville, Adelaide

The ‘RH Mitchell’ associated with the ‘building’ of this car was a garage owner in Woodville SA. I do not know, but I do not think he sitting in the vehicle is the garage owner. The business was in operation in the mid 1920’s and photos of the property (later) show the front of the building to include ‘RH Mitchell late AFC AIF’. These photos are in fact of a time earlier to the photo of the ‘speedster’. More the point to begin though is what Citroen model is the vehicle based on – 5CV or B2, B10. Then, so many more questions like where did it compete, are there more photos and dare I ask – where did it go?!
