>Too bad Americans thought they were too weird. Weird they are, but it’s a wonderful weird, lol.<
Those things were so far ahead of their time. A friend of mine’s dad had a couple of them. I’ve always liked Citroens for some reason, but they’re a bear to keep on the road because they require the rare mechanic who knows about them.
I see a few well-kept ones around here, so somebody still knows how to maintain and repair them. The hydraulics appear to be the primary thing as far as upkeep, that wild suspension that can lift a tire off the road to replace a flat with no jack, the power steering, the brakes. Hydraulic system goes down, the car goes down, literally.
