The Citroen SM has always been little considered in the world of classic cars, perhaps for the fact that it was a Citroen in itself, perhaps for the fear of facing the maintenance or restoration of a “complex” car, perhaps for both reasons. Yet when this car was unveiled in Geneva in March 1970, the… Read More Code S: 1972 Citroen SM
“Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them” (David Hume) In the panorama of classic car collecting there are many levels of rarity, beauty but, apart from the rarity which is measurable in numerical terms, beauty is very subjective. Yes, because beauty is often made up of several factors, although aesthetics is the… Read More Odd sedan: 1975 Citroën GS Pallas C-Matic
We have seen many “strange” cars in recent years, but a Barchetta built on the mechanics of a Citroen 2CV was definitely missing from our list. Especially if it is a Barchetta built with a beautiful aluminum bodywork, most likely built in the USA and part of the SCCA category, driven at the end of… Read More Riverside veteran: 1957 Citroen Seidlitz Special
We know the vans built by Citroen after the Second World War, but we had never seen one built before. A van – we have to say – far ahead for the time both for the shapes and for the general organization of the overall dimensions which allowed a considerable load capacity, certainly at the… Read More Form & Function: 1939 Citroén TUB
This Citroen SM is one of the few seen so far with a black livery which, actually, fits extremely good the odd lines of this car.

First of all the body, which has a lower roof, a fastback tail and two doors only, the body… Read More Wankel attempt: 1971 Citroen M35 by Heuliez
The nickname of the Citroen DS was “Deesse” which, in french language, means “Goddess”: this is not only a DS, but a rare cabriolet two door called “La Croisette” and built by Chapron. To be honest, we are not pretty sure that the model is exactly “La Croisette” as Chapron built many model of these… Read More Burgundy goddess: 1965 Citroen “La Croisette” by Chapron
Now we are used to see strange cars during our car ads surfing but we decided to stop at this as it is odd, really odd. The seller calls it “Buffet” and it’s basically a Citroen Dyane (the seller doesn’t mention what model year is the base car so we arbitrarily have chosen the year 1980)… Read More French BBQ: 1980 Citroen Dyane 6 “Buffet truck”
Believe it or not, this 1955 Citroen 2CV is Mille Miglia elegible. Not later than two years ago, a 1957 sister of this car joined that event. This particular car is an early model pushed by a 375 c.c. flat twin, air cooled engine. Early cars had a very strange, but very economic and effective… Read More Another Mille Miglia entry: 1955 Citroen 2CV
