This is why I love trawling Ebay.
Get a load of that hydraulic pump!

that is by far the ugliest car i've seen....

I think that's cool. The pump is for the height adjustable suspension. Very cool.

WHAT ARE YOU SOME KIND OF CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEY? lol JK buddy

Citroen are the coolest.  Not constrained by conventional design.  The rocker switch on the left side of the steering wheel - turn signal, not self cancelling.  Button under it - Horn.  Spare tire in engine bay, love it!  But very roomy, can drive over a plowed field at 30mph while sipping tea in the back seat and style and form before function ever time!

About 15 years ago , I came fairly close to buying a CX diesel that needed an engine overhaul.  Would have been an unusual ride, but...

I do currently have a DS19 boite mechanique...

gawd i love Citroens. If i lived in europe i would definitely have at least one.  You have to know pneumatics and hydraulics to work on them though. They used to race DS's in the Dakar with stock suspension.

Thanks for posting this.  What a cool wagon.  So many cool little subtle differences from what you "normally" see ie: check out the steering wheel- pretty futuristic for '81.

Yeah, this car is cool as hell.
I see it from time to time. Down the road from me.
I thought of buying it just for car shows.

I keep waiting for Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob to step out of the car with Krusty saying, "Hey, Heeeeey!!!!!!"

I agree it's styling isn't for everyone.  I just think that it's so unique.

[gnavs]

good god it's ugly, but i would drive the crap out of that thing

[truckinwagen]

I want that steering wheel!

[Syncroincity]

That's what I love about it... It ROCKS the ugly.   Love it or hate it, you're gonna stop and look.

It'll be interesting sourcing spare parts, for sure. I had a Renault 1.9 wagon years ago, most comfy seats EVER; the French know from cruising comfort.

Yeah- French seats are for comfort, German seats are for masocists.  I got so sick of being brutalized in my Caddy I found some Renault Fuego seats for it (when there were still some of them around)- they are comfy.

As for the mono spoke steering wheel, if you think that was radical in the 1980s, how do you think it was in 1955 when the DS was introduced with one?
