World's First Diesel Car , Shoreham In 1934 the Citroen Rosalie became the first-ever production diesel passenger car to be marketed commercially, pre-dating the Mercedes 260D by nearly a year. André Citroën visited British car designer Harry Ricardo in 1933 to see his pioneering diesel bus engines and Citroën engineers came to work alongside Ricardo specialists at Shoreham to develop the Rosalie. This is a Rosalie on a visit to where it all began. 11 April 1994 Picture by Roger Bamber
