tazzieman Posted 3August, 2015 Report Share Posted 3August, 2015 There's something incredibly perverted about the steering wheels in those cars.Keep an eye out for the full episode on Foxtel. They buy one from the wreckers (not the one in the clip below) and visit this eccentric chap in Yorkshire with a private church stuffed to the rafters with old Citroens and parts. He even has the 2CV from that James Bond chase scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted 5August, 2015 Report Share Posted 5August, 2015 If you were in Melbourne you'd park it in Brunswick St Fitzroy with a note in the rear window and it'd be gone in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddin Posted 5August, 2015 Report Share Posted 5August, 2015 I learnt to drive in a GS when i was 8...my dad had 3 of them. Interesting cars..The story goes that when he bought his first one at the local Citroen/Alfa Romeo dealership in 1972 he was indecisive whether to get a GS or an Alfasud.The Citroen became the family car and I cried in the back of it with an Alfa sticker in my hand.

Airhead Posted 6August, 2015 Report Share Posted 6August, 2015 If you were in Melbourne you'd park it in Brunswick St Fitzroy with a note in the rear window and it'd be gone in an hour. If you were in Melbourne you'd park it in St Albins it'd still be there 3 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddin Posted 6August, 2015 Report Share Posted 6August, 2015 It seems the GS is one of the lesser appreciated cars (stop laughing!) in the Citroen corner..Id probably go for a CX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werdna Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 Sold mine about 6 months ago. Was registered and running but needed body work and a service and I got $600 for it. You might have some luck on aussiefrogs, i'd try ebay and gumtree as well. In saying that I let it go cheap because of all the timewasters those sites attract.They are great little cars with a super revvy flat 4 and comfortable ride to boot. Contrary to the above, mine was ridiculously cheap to maintain and run. I daily drove mine over 4 years and only had a snapped throttle cable strand me. Rest of the time was just routine servicing and rust prevention.HTH & good luck with the sale!failing that, maybe get in contact with an architect forum :-)Haha, I bought mine from an architect!

Russ Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 is the flat four in these the same as the one in the traction avant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werdna Posted 10August, 2015 Report Share Posted 10August, 2015 is the flat four in these the same as the one in the traction avant?Different motor. The traction avant used an inline 4 which was then carried over to the d series later on.These are an air cooled flat 4 in 1015, 1129, 1222 & 1299cc capacity. Super revvy little thing. I'd like to drive an alfasud to compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
