Super Rare Vehicle! I can’t find a comparable for sale anywhere!

I purchased this awesome Le Car from an enthusiast in Maine in 2024. It comes with a mountain of service records dating back to 1996. Most service work performed by Dave Burnham’s Citroen Repair and Restoration in Delanson, NY.

Car runs great and sounds amazing with Ansa exhaust. Only thing of note is a noticeable surge when you floor it (I assume this is when the 2nd barrel opens). I’m thinking a carburetor adjustment will remedy this, or if you drive like a gentleman you won’t notice.

There is a receipt for a used engine/transmission assembly dated year 2000, so I’m guessing the engine and transmission were replaced at this time (no labor). Or maybe just used for parts.

Body work repairs completed in 1998 and 2000 according to receipts. I have photographs showing work in progress. Body shop notes on receipt that rust will come back, and indeed it has (see pictures in listing). Vehicle still looks good considering its age. Underside looks good, in my opinion.

Clear Pennsylvania title in my possession, ready for transfer to the new owner. Title reports mileage as 142,254 (actual mileage).

Note that headliner is dirty from age (white) and courtesy lights are not working. Interior panel missing on inside of hatchback. I misplaced the spare tire, which goes on top of the engine. These are quirky cars so don’t expect perfection.

I prefer NOT to use Secure Pay and deposit through eBay. I am flexible with payment and deposit. I will discuss a mutual agreeable arrangement with the winning bidder. I agree to use Secure Pay if the winning bidder insists, however.

Good Luck!
