This 1966 Citroën Ami listed by Collecting Cars is a distinctive and charming vintage French estate automobile that has received previous restorative upkeep, maintaining an impressive condition given its age. Powered by a 602cc naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-two engine capable of around 25bhp, this elegantly designed vehicle propels power to the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox.
Dubbed affectionately as ‘Bagpuss’ by the seller, this Ami6 underwent extensive restoration in the Netherlands from 2007 to 2009, costing approximately £11000. Afterward, it made its way to the UK and was stored in a dry place for several years before being resurrected and registered with the DVLA in January 2022. The car is adorned in a sophisticated grey color with chrome accents, complemented by a red leatherette interior featuring a black dashboard, body-colored inner doors with grey vinyl inserts, and more chrome trim.
Displayed with off-white 15-inch steel wheels donning polished hub caps and classic Michelin ZX tires, this 1966 Citroën Ami from Collecting Cars combines unique design, attractive color scheme, and practicality – making it a remarkable addition to any collection of French classics and a perfect companion for leisurely drives, car displays, or family outings.
