V6 I'd love but I bet i couldn't afford to feed its drink habit.
Since my interest took hold I've only ever seen that one and a white one on the other side of the A77 (I live in Glasgow).
Well theres a beautifull S1 24v Manual V6 for sale down the road from you in Paiesley, Langbank...!! Which is viruatally IMMACULATE!!

Lets just say I learned to drive in a mid range Citroen in 1982...
The problem is, I hate welding and bodywork...

Passed my driving test in a GSA - should've seen the tester's face after the emergency stop! lol
He lost grip of his clipboard too!
Loved that car and it's probably why I have such a bad Citroen addiction!!

You did well not to lock it up.
I've been out in the cobalt XM this morning. It has no ABS and razor sharp brakes, which I love the feel of.

My Father had one of the early UK GSA Pallas, with the GS dashboard. It served him well, doing 100,000 miles in it, then he gave it to my sister who wrecked it in no time.
I'm flitting between quite warm and stone cold...
The problem is time, which I don't have much of for projects.
