It was available as a van, saloon or, as here, an estate known as a 'Break'. When the company eventually decided to replace it, a total of 1,840,396 units had been sold globally. It wasoften called the Citron 3CV (Three Horses), as theengine size of 602cc was a little bit largerthan the upper limit of the 2CV taxation class, and was offeredas either a four-door saloon, four-door estate, or a two-door van.The early models were thrust forward by a 602cc air-cooled twin, not generating too much 'G-force' which was probably just as well given that the front seats easily unclipped and could be used aspicnic chairs. The Ami 6, along with the Ford Taurus, werethe first vehicles fitted withrectangular headlights, aninnovative design thatwent against the view that all headlights had to be circular.Despite having dramatic modern styling,the initial sales were as slow as the car (0-50mph in just over half a minute) as it was judged to be tooexpensive, however, things quickly picked up and it was ultimately much loved.In terms of 'much loved', this little Citroen will need to be, by somebody. The photographs do flatter a bit (quite a lot) but this is definitely a 'project'. Mind you it may well turn out tobe a sound investment as, despite the fact that that there were squillions made, very few survive. Make it your COVID project and when we finally come out of Lockdown Number 3, we willall be a bit more grounded and a weirdlittle French 24bhp runabout may look like the way forward. Or alternatively, find a newishsmallelectric Kia or Hyundai that has been crashed and scrapped, transfer all the batteries and running gear, paint it 'Climate Change' Green and sell it in Central London. Just an idea....1967 Citroen Ami 6 Breakhttps://youtu.be/pGUDlPewhaAfalse
