In 1932 a stock model 8 hp Citroen set an extraordinary record, never since been beaten, of travelling 300 000 km in 134 days at an average speed of 93 km/h. A 1932 newspaper described the exploits of the Citroen C6G, otherwise known popularly as a Little Rosalie, a name which will be well known to Citroen enthusiasts.
