Front Drive, Volume 1 Number 1, October 1977

Preface

"The Classic Register Committee has for some time been concerned by its inability to reach Register members and the lack of a suitable forum for members to express their views. It is for these reasons that the committee has decided to publish a Classic Register magazine.

It is intended that 'Front Drive' will appear bi-monthly and is aimed at presenting information of a technical and historical nature in a quality format. For the benefit of new members, it is appropriate to restate some of the reasons for the Classic Register's foundation.

The 'Traction Avant' series had been out of production for twenty years and parts, information and know-how was becoming increasingly more expensive. The feeling was that a group could do more and achieve more - hence the Classic Register. In nineteen months membership has passed fifty which is ample vindication of the original idea.

'Front Drive' is intended to inform, instruct, amuse and help owners of pre-1956 production Citroëns. It can only be a success if you the members read and contribute to its pages. Articles, letters, jokes, classified section, problems and solutions are welcome from all members (including country members).

Vive La Traction! (and La 2CV)
