Financial Tribune - The joint venture company between France�s Citroen and Iran�s SAIPA delivered the first Citroen C3s made in the central city of Kashan to customers earlier this week in Tehran.

Ali Momeni, sales manager of the JV says, �So far, 700 Citroen C3s have been produced and production would continue as planned,� saipanews.com reported.

In May 2018 when the JV, aka as SAIPA-Citroen, launched a limited presale of the model, 2,000 applicants paid 600 million rials ($5,600) in advance for the new car. Early last week media reports said SAIPA had priced the locally made Citroen C3 at 2.4 billion rials ($22,400).
