Apart from a few styling extras, this looks good.

If only the steering wheel were on the right side, I'd bite my own arm off for that. Lovely. The badging on the back would have to go, but I quite like the stripy bonnet.

It didn't sell. I was in touch with the seller because that's the only other one I've seen in Germany - unless he was getting a good price he had decided to keep it, especially that he's lucky that it's registered as a 'Youngtimer' which mean low taxes. They've now done away with that tax break - the month before mine was due to qualify ( 20 years old) they binned it unless you were already qualified!

I just removed one the other day and what amazed me was how well made and conceived it was. Perhaps they didn't always wear so well but the main binnacle is made in Japan and all the ancillary buttons in Germany and how they fit together for me is a marvel and true Citroen eccentricity!

I have to agree with stuart on the rear badging just slightly OTT for me that but i do like the bonnet yes that is a good idea.
