Supernaut Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm guessing some sort of hydropneumatic Citroen. Most other cars can simply be pushed if they aren't running. juular, myglaren, chodweaver and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I remember seeing these brand new at the Motorshow in the late 80s. I'm not a particular fan of the marque but these things really caught my eye and for the right reasons. Beautiful design and I particularly liked the back end styling. I guess it was inevitable that the designer would get it so right after looking at his back catalogue. What a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
