[QUOTE 4474217, member: 259"]The BX had that fancy suspension system didn't it?[/QUOTE]
Yep and it worked great if a bit wallowy on regular roads, it came into its own on less well maintained ones.

Rollers use the same system I believe.

Did the Allegro have a square steering wheel?

I believe only the very early ones did as a (misguided) gimic.

My dad had a Hilman Hunter in Dukes of Hazard orange with that internal colour scheme

Quartic if you please.
Square would just be ridiculous.

Quartic Sounds like the 4th largest town in Alaska

I beg to differ. The Renault4 and Citroen 2CV and DS are classic cars and well sought after. I have owned many Renaults and Citroens and been pleased with all of them. My present car is a Renault Captur. Great car.

At least you never fell out over it.

The Safrane was quite cool-looking at its time.[/QUOTE]

Just realised your pic was of the Avantine, which was the one I was thinking of.

This is the Velsatis.

Ironically, despite the sh1te reputation some British cars have had, consider the following...
See how often you'll see an old Citroen BX or even a Xantia around now. Both were extremely popular and bountiful on the roads when new. Theyre a very rare sight now. I used to drive a company Xantia, nice cars.
Also look how many old Rovers are still on the road now, 200s, 400s, 600s, 75s etc etc, they're actually quite a common sight, despite their reputation and age.

I have no hatred of French cars BTW, I've never owned one either.

From the other perspective, you rarely see an old Rover in France, but plenty of old Citroens..................

maybe lots of old citroens, but are there many middle aged citroens?
