Sold Citroën Ami 6 Break – £2000

[Sam Glover]

Does anyone fancy a 1965 Ami 6 Break that’s lightly broken? It needs light recommissioning and a gearbox rebuild.

 

It’s very rust-free and it hasn’t been welded, but it has been resprayed at some stage in its original colour. I recommissioned six years ago with new brakes, new Michelin tyres, electronic ignition and various other bits-and-pieces, then drove it to La Traversée de Paris. It thrummed along excellently… really quite nippy. Unfortunately, though, the transaxle started making a nasty knocking noise on the final leg of the return trip. I never got round to investigating. The seats have been retrimmed quite badly, it lacks carpets, the doorcards are present but need fitting and the tailgate’s exterior trim is missing. Otherwise, it’s a good ‘un.

 

Selling it on has never been on the agenda. The fact that it hasn’t made it into the workshop in six years, however, probably means that it never will.

 

Price: £2000ish.

 

It’s near Cirencester.

That looks lovely.

Not in a position so have a bump instead.

[loserone]

Lovely.  I already have one flat-engined estate car, but I wish I could have two.

[barrett]

Strongly interested, I sent you an email

[Fabergé Greggs]

Oh god.

 

Please take this as expression of strongly interested behind Barrett please.

[djoptix]

Phwoar.

[Joey spud]

Yes i am genuinely interested too.

Have funds and can pick up pronto if it's in the way.

 

PM also sent.

Shecksy...

What's the yellow device underneath the P6? Looks like a Taunus.

It's an Izh rather than a Mosky I think!

[Sam Glover]

Yes... it's an IZh 2125, as this man is explaining:

 

 

I'll go and poke at the Ami later today.

This is very, very, very cheap for an Ami, even a broken one. Should I be aware of a plummet in value?

Don't worry, the estates have always been worthless! Even the best saloon in the world is only worth £5k in this country, there just isn't a market for them. top tip - don't invest in French cars

[chrisjvm]

That looks great and a barg too ...

 

Going on what's being asked for them these days.

 

Would lose the signwriting though!

I was really disappointed to get £2250 for this on eBay a few years ago ...

 

I had about 30 enquiries, some from Holland and Belgium ...

 

But the reality was only 5 people actually bid on it.

 

 

And yes,it was every bit as good as it looks.

...so while Scott mulls this over, here's a 'can you guess all seven non-Citroëns in the photograph' procrastination exercise. Hint: they're all East European or Russian.

 

[HMC]

Immediate rear- aleko

[HMC]

Or maybe it’s a zaz tavria? Hmmmmm

[hairnet]

Late Yatra (613?)

 

120l Skoda estelle

[barefoot]

no

[barrett]

I'm done mulling and have sent another email. 

[purplebargeken]

Sam, you need to tempt us with Polski or Russki shite, not that garlic munching stuff (although that Ami is bloody nice).

[Sam Glover]

I'm done mulling and have sent another email. 

 

SOLD! Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest... I'll tell Scott who you are in case the Ami gets regurgitated.

To save fucking around now this bumping exercise is obsolete:

 

Left to right – Rodacar, ZAZ Tavria, Moskvich Aleko, Tarpan 233S, Skoda 105, IZh 2125, Żuk

[dollywobbler]

Like your barn! Bit nicer than the ol' hanger. 

 

Thank you to Barrett for saving my marriage.

[AnthonyG]

Is that a genuine Bulgarian Maestro and not a UK assembled CKD one?

 

Respect!

 

Now you need one of those Chinese ones with the Montego front panel work...

[barrett]

I'm such an idiot

[drum]

I have some Moskvich spares in my way if you need any. Lights n stuff

[Uncle Jimmy]

Congratulations to Mr Barrett, I'm feeling a mixture of regret and calm that (owing to an empty garage) I managed not to purchase another car.

[Squire_Dawson]

Now then, the Ami sold for ca. £2k, so who is going to man the fuck up and buy a proper car, viz. P6 V-8??
