I know this car very well. When I was a kid, my uncle had several of them. I never drove any, but I still remember the sensation as a passenger. I don’t know any other car that seemed to float above the ground while remaining so steady.
Under the carpet and your feet, there was 5 cm of soft foam, and the shiny, leather seats had that unmistakable smell—truly a dream. Anyone who’s stepped into this car will tell you the same. It’s a KFO ("Known Flying Object").
Later, when I was 28, I owned an old CX 2500 Pallas. It was also a fantastic car, with the same suspension system and unique driving characteristics.
They just don’t make cars like this anymore , it's a long time i don't own any real car but this car is really out of time !
Enjoy your drive. ><(((((((°>°°°°°°

2025-02-01 18:18:18 +0000 UTCI moved to Brazil from the south of France in 1984, where I’ve lived ever since. During the first 10 years, I would return to France for seasonal work to save some money. Each year, I’d buy an old car, use it for the season, and sell it before heading back to Brazil. Because of this, I’ve owned so many old cars throughout my life. Some of the cars I’ve owned or driven include: Autobianchi Abarth '78 Citroën CX 2500 D Mercedes 220D Citroën 2CV Ford Taunus 1300 Opel Rekord Ford Transit (for a surf trip) Austin Mini 1300 …and more. One of the most memorable was driving a 205 GTI on a fast, 1500-km, 2-day trip to Italy. All were old, cheap cars, but they served their purpose. Here in Brazil, I’ve owned very few cars. The only brand-new car I ever bought was a Honda Fit in 2008. Since then, I haven’t owned any cars at all.

2025-01-02 10:37:11 +0000 UTCCitroën always have been quite innovative, a little oddball. Although more recently, that innovation has meant ghastly bits of plastic ro the exterior... Cactus car :D Recall in uk in early 2000s. Roads were full of Saxo vtr/vts's. Usually royal blue. I was a Peugeot man. My first car was 1.1 205. 2nd car the 106 gti... great fun. Used to love 205 gtis growing up, but never owned one. What happened to French manufacturers? Used to make incredible hot hatches in 80's to 2000ish, from Citroën, Peugeot, Renault...

2025-01-01 15:08:54 +0000 UTC😂It’s not a race car—it’s a cruising vessel. I agree with you about the lack of lateral body support. The design prioritizes vertical comfort, absorbing impacts through the back, seat, and feet. Check this , i love this movie. 😂 https://youtu.be/PWULrYwDZls?t=193

2025-01-01 10:58:57 +0000 UTCHi Laurent, I don't share your enthusiasm.I remember a trip as a Front passenger from Perugia to Rome (180 km.) as a nightmare .Lots of roll when cornering and seats that were very soft and with very little body support. The Fiat 125 special 1600 that we had in the family was better 😉. Bye mate

2025-01-01 10:05:53 +0000 UTCThank you! I didn't follow the power exactly and didn't want to buy a new engine so I reduced the weight and left it n/a, but I finally managed to beat the Alsace mission!
