Used by the Are dairy farm until 1954, then taken apart. By the 1980s only the frame, cabin and front fenders of the truck had survived. It was rebuilt 1980-84, at the moment (when?) without original engine. The radiator is from a DKW. http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/a-pr/Citroen23RU_40-b.jpg http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/a-pr/Citroen23RU_40-a.jpg http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/a-pr/Citroen23RU_40-d_jarvakandi07.jpg http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/a-pr/Citroen23RU_40-e_jarvakandi07.jpg http://eag.vanatehnika.ee/a-pr/Citroen23RU_40-f_Valga17-08-2013.jpg
