They did a GTi saloon one too! Apparently the torque tubes can strip themselves of splines which then don't transmit
any drive and are wickedly expensive to reconstitute. Citroen has had a natural gift of hiding it's true engineering
prowess under a bushel!! Not many manufactureres were ineterested and pursued the rotary engine, the nearest
anything got to an alternative to the still plodding on engine concept has been produced over decades, yet Citroen
COMOTOR with NSU were making cars in the early 70's based on the AMI and GS.

The main dead weight to Citroens natural abilities and development/growth is Peugeot, the unwilling partner ordered
into bed with Citroen to consumate a dodgy pairing enforced by the French Government.

Here's hoping nieche models, as demonstrated by the gazillions of models within the Benz empire works for PSA and
Citroen now with Citroen seemingly finding it's engineering/design/styling mojo again - just bad timing with global
market contraction and greed stuffing up the World economy.

Hi, I`ve an identical car to the 4x4 (not quite as tidy) with AC. Is there anyone afterone as a sort of project, I`ve asked the BXers but I feel unless I strip the car and give the bits away no is interested.
Alternatively is there anyone looking for any bits, as it may end up being crushed for scrap.
Cheers

Give me the details, and I will post them on the Citroen Car Club forum for you.
