A SPECIAL edition of the Citroen C3 will be on the road in July with features inspired by nautical-clothing brand St James.

Priced from £16,755 for a manual model powered by a 1.2-litre PureTech 83 engine or £19,295 for a more powerful PureTech 110 automatic, the car is based on high specification Shine versions of the C3.

The cars come with a St James red, white and blue graphic on the roof and the clothing brand's signature on both front doors and at the rear of the vehicle.

Inside they come with Citroen's Advanced Comfort seats which are upholstered in grey material, with a decorative chevron band labelled Saint James on the upper parts of the seat backs, and red stitching above the band.

The design emulates the signature stripe of the famous Saint James mariniere sailor's jacket.

White stitching is used on the lower parts of the seats as well as on the dashboard as well as chrome contours on the gear lever.

The interior also features a decorative blue and red door strap with a Saint James ‘button' on the driver's side, as well as a badge below the gear lever featuring the Saint James logo.

The special editions also come with the addition of a reversing camera on top of the driver assistance features on the Shine grade models.
