Remember that you are at AutoPuzzles where cars usually are not what they appear to be. There are some Citroen parts involved, but that's only a little part of the story.

How can I forget.
I am working off the bonnet and front guard [and poss the door]. To me they appear to have come from a Citroen.
The wheels are not [obviously] and who knows what running gear it has?

Yes! This Bugatti T40 was turned into a boxy electric van during WW II. After the war it was Bugatti-petrol-engined again with a Citroen Traction Avant front.

Another point for you.
