1. Traction Avant (1934-1957)
As well as being easy on the eye, the Traction Avant was technologically advanced for its time. The name means "front-wheel drive" and the Traction Avant was the first front-wheel-drive production car with a steel monocoque body.

2. 2CV (1948-1988)
Not conventionally attractive, perhaps, but the 2CV's Bauhaus-inspired design is one of the most recognisable of the 20th century. Nearly four million wer produced during the model's 42-year production run.
This picture shows early examples of prototype 2CVs that were hidden from the Nazis and discovered in the 1990s.
3. DS (1955-1975)
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of all time, the DS was the successor to the Traction Avant.
It too had a range of sophisticated features, including hydraulic self-levelling suspension that gave a smooth ride and good handling.

4. C4G Roadster (1932)
The C4G replaced the C4F in 1932; it had a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and about 32,000 were produced.
5. SM (1970-1975)
The SM was Citroën's flagship model in its day and was designed to compete with sports coupes produced by Aston Martin, Jaguar and Porsche.
As well stunning looks, it had many features that were ahead of its time, including swivelling headlights and a reach- and rake-adjustable steering wheel.
6. 11B Cabriolet (1939)
This convertible version of the Traction Avant featured the same innovations, in a slinky drop-top body.
7. CX (1974-1991)
The name CX comes from the French equivalent for Cd and alludes to the car's sleek aerodynamic styling.
The CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975 and had a 16-year production run. Our picture shows a late-model GTi version.

8. BX (1982-1994)
The BX is very much a car of its era; its angular lines were the work of Italian designer Marcello Gandini, who also designed the Lamborghini Countach.
9. DS3 (2009-)
Citroën resurrected the DS name for this Mini rival, which was launched in 2009. It success has contirubuted to the launch of an entire DS sub-brand.
10. Survolt (2010)
This concept car was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva motor show; sadly there are no plans to put it into production.
A 300bhp electric motor provides the power - top speed is 160mph and the 0-60mph time is less than five seconds.
