Had several of these in my younger days when you could pick them up cheap, even paid one guy £20 for one and he fetched the engine and battery from under the stairs, it had been in his garden for quite a few years but a couple hours later we drove it home. We drove them all over the Uk and the continent and never had one let us down. They were as mad as a box of frogs with their quirky engineering but amazingly comfortable and also retained the off-road capabilities of the early 2cv. In snow and ice, they really are brilliant and we had a lot of that back then so knew we could always get about even when others could not. Rust killed most of them sadly though we did manage to break one in half loaded with flagstones, still drove home in it though we could not get the doors open. Love every minute of them and sad to say they are few and far between these days.

I've got an Ami 8 and I drive it to work twice a week, and I absolutely love it. 10k kms a year is what I do with it.

Great video. Very nostalgic for me as I learnt to drive in my dad's Ami 8 estate. It was our family car and the extra space transported all sorts of things with ease. I remember it as a very good car and clearly it is. Thank you

Fabulous ❤ mine is a 1977 model with reclining front seats and wind up front windows . Love it .

I certainly loved mine, it got replaced by a Mk 3 Escort company car. The Ami could have taught it a lot.

Thank you for the video! Your passion for old Citroëns is very contagious. In fact, I am planning to buy a Dyane 6, and I would really love to see a test if you ever take one on the road! Cheers from France

It’s AMEEEEEE.

You popped over the speed bump at 30 mph but the speed limit was 20 mph .

Been promising myself a 2CV but now I'm not sure.... Ami8 looks to be better value for money

Pedestrians amazed you dont slow for speed humps!

Not quite pronounced correctly , it should be the French for friend . I have a pale blue one .

Brill! But Portrait?

You pronounce Ami as the French would say the word meaning friend .
