Citroen Creates The Ultimate Sport Fan’s Car

Citroen UK and the Arsenal football team have come together with the world famous cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe, to produce the ultimate sport fan’s car all in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust

Scarfe, probably best known for his animations for the classic Pink Floyd film ‘The Wall’, has decorated a new Citroen C4 with not just a design that captures the speed and passion of the game but also includes the logos of the famous London team and caricatures of Arsenal’s players and its manager, Arsène Wenger. The unique Citroen C4 is being used to raise awareness of the work of Teenage Cancer Trust which works with teenagers who have cancer – six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK – to provide specialist care and support.

“I was delighted when Teenage Cancer Trust asked me to be involved with this project,” says Gerald Scarfe. “Meeting Harriet, who had cancer when she was 14 and who helping organise the project, underlined for me the importance of this excellent charity, and getting together with the players and learning about Arsenal’s rich heritage helped to inspire my designs for the car.”

“I hope that fans – where ever they are in the world – will be queuing up to buy tickets to win this unique car, helping the Club to raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust. The work that the charity is doing for young people with cancer is invaluable and so important in giving them the chance to fight this disease."

Following its display at Arsenal’s home ground, the Emirates Stadium, the Citroen will be raffled to fans with tickets for sale at £2 available from arsenal@teenagecancertrust.org or http://www.arsenal.com/tctcitroenc4.

In addition to the car itself, Citroen and Arsenal have also asked fans for suggestions as to what should be inside the car when it is handed over to its new owner....
