1967 CITROËN AMI 6
Vehicle registration: French classic car
Chassis number: 9477511
• Complete restoration carried out between 2015 and 2017, representing an investment of over €13,000
• Rebuilt on a new platform supplied by German specialist Daniel Engelhardt, with engine overhaul
• New parts used, mostly supplied by the Méhari Club Cassis
• Stored in a private museum, then used sparingly
Introduced in 1961 to bridge the gap between the 2CV and the DS, the Citroën Ami 6 stands out for its distinctive silhouette, designed by Flaminio Bertoni and characterized by its inverted rear window, known as the “Z-line.” Equipped with a 602 cm³ two-cylinder engine in its later versions, it offers a distinctive suspension setup as well as more interior space than the 2CV. The complexity of its bodywork and assembly makes a complete restoration particularly demanding, both technically and financially.
The vehicle presented here is a 1967 Citroën Ami 6 with chassis number 9477511. Purchased as a restoration project—with a body and engine in need of repair—it underwent a complete restoration between 2015 and 2017.
Representing an investment of over €13,000, this restoration notably involved rebuilding the vehicle from a new platform supplied by German specialist Daniel Engelhardt. The two-cylinder engine and the main mechanical components were completely overhauled. The reassembly required the use of as many new parts as possible, most of which were purchased from the Méhari Club Cassis.
Upon completion of the work in 2017, the car became part of a private collection and a personal museum. Since then, it has been stored indoors and used sparingly to preserve its condition while ensuring it remains in good working order. Its overall condition reflects the care taken during this restoration.
Rebuilt on a new chassis during a restoration carried out between 2015 and 2017, representing an investment of over €13,000, this 1967 Citroën Ami 6 has undergone a thorough restoration, carried out on a model whose unique design makes restoration particularly challenging.
