Citroën GSpécial

1974

This is my Citroen Gspécial from 1974 in the color Blanc Meije (AC088). In the early 2000s, it was imported from France by a couple of Dutch Citroën enthusiasts.

I think this is my car on its temporary import plates, but I'm not sure because it seems to have a different interior (picture found on http://members.home.nl/citroengsgsa/). Update: it has been confirmed by the previous owner that this is indeed my car!

A guy bought it from them and drove it for a year. Then, he sold it to me in 2008. It had done 73.730 kilometers by then.

I have done a lot of work on the car to keep it running. A lot of maintenance to the suspension, bodywork repair, renovation and conservation of the underside and wheel arches and a minor rust repair. It has run 140,000 kilometers now (in 2020).

Update; in 2022 I did a big engine renovation, replacing all seals, mounting new pistons and barrels, rings, and renovated cilinder heads.

The car was previously owned by an architect from Lyon, France, monsieur Eugène Gachon.
