A few of us on here like a little French car

I can see why!.......For some reason it always reminded me of Betty Boop!

We nearly bought one from the LHD place in B’stoke to go with the Espace but no room. Could be a FR house car if our son gets his act together and finishes his build.

I must say I like most (quirky) Citroens but the Ami is just a bit too weird a design for me

Saw my first modern HY van in Rochefort last week.
A new Citroen with the plastic body kit on it and it looked very convincing and good too.

Can you afford not to own a Citroen???

A friend of mine here has two...spent the better part of a year at a shop in Alabama being restored...he's a retired architect with no children, so...

Agree much better handling car and the perfect place for the 1.9 engine, I always felt the 205 1.6 was better balanced than the 1.9 version

The Queen was given a Renault Dauphine Gordini on her visit to the Renault factory in France on 10th April 1957. The car was assembled at Renault's Acton plant in the UK with added leather seats and bolt on spoked wheels, then shipped over to France for the Royal visit. The car was used for a few years and kept at Balmoral.

Agree, I bought two of each over a 5 year period. The 1.9 was 10 mph faster everywhere, had cool wheels and better trim (part leather seats!!) but the 1.6 was the sweeter car. Always glad I never had a big shunt in one - they were very light!
