The Citroën Car Club of Victoria Inc (CCCV) was formed in 1965 by a group of Citroen owners who felt they could learn more about their cars by sharing advice and technical skills.
CCCV is a club for all Citroëns from the very first, the Type A of 1919, through to the latest released models.
The Club has both a technical and a social basis, which is reflected in the calendar of events and services offered. Events include outings to car shows, technical days, social outings, attendance at swap meets, the Citroën Concours d’Elegance, and, from time to time, observation and economy runs. During the year we usually have picnics, barbecues and camping weekends. There is also the national meeting of Citroën enthusiasts known as a “Cit-In”. It occurs each year over a three-day weekend, generally one, or two, weekends before Easter to avoid the high cost and limitation of available accommodation over that national holiday weekend. Each year in turn, this event is hosted by a different State. Each year we also take part in the French Car Festival, along with the Citroën Classic Owners Club of Australia, the Renault Car Club of Victoria, the Peugeot Car Club of Victoria and the Simca Car Club, plus some rarer French marques attend.
As a free service, members of the Club may have advertisements run for any Citroën related item that they wish to sell, buy or give away to a “good home. These advertisements are placed on the Club’s website and advised to all members directly by e-mail.
We sell LHM and LDS hydraulic fluid at discounted rates to Club members and operate a Club shop which includes service parts and gift-ware.
A bi-monthly magazine, published jointly with the Citroën Classic Owners Club of Australia, is made available to all members. This magazine includes advertisements by sponsors of the two Clubs where parts and service discounts are sometimes available.
Club general meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, except that there are no meetings held in January and December of each year. They alternate month on month between get togethers in our Club rooms at 8/41 Norcal Road, Nunawading, commencing at 7.30 pm sharp; and social gatherings in various venues, such as pubs and restaurants. Details of each month’s event are published on the Club’s website and advised to members by e-mail.
Club meetings include reports, guest speakers and technical discussions and we celebrate Bastille Day at our July general meeting. The Club’s annual general meeting is held in October of each year.
In December we have a BBQ get-together at a particular location on a date to be advised.
We have a Club library which contains an extensive collection of books, magazines, workshop manuals and brochures, all of which are available to be borrowed by members. The library is open at meetings held in our Club rooms.
Why not come to the next meeting and see the Club in action? You will be made most welcome.
