Unmasked but still heavily camo'd
Pre Friday thread bump fo' shame
A question. Do we have any Citroen fans in the house, particularly folks who run 2Cv's or Dianes?
I have been going through some of Dads belongings and came across something I had completely forgotten about, a manual made by the Citroen Car club circa 1977.
We ran several in the late 70's early 80s, just thought before I contact them or chuck on the fleabay if someone here may benefit ( pref Uk for postage)?
Will need proof of appropriate Citroen ownership to qualify 😀
Will update with a photo later.

Here's an unusual one, photographed last week at Lydden - a Tornado Talisman, (I'd never previously seen one):
Bill Woodhouse and Tony Bullen founded Tornado around 1958 and started building cars in Chipperfield, and then Rickmansworth, Herts, England. Initially, this was a model known as the Typhoon, based on the Ford 10. About 300 of these were sold and this enabled consolidation of the company and, from 1960, expansion with new models, Thunderbolt, Tempest Sport (Brake) and Talisman. However, following a change of company ownership, production ceased in 1964. See also: https://web.archive.org/web/2005102...uc.s.easynet.co.uk/tornado_register/photo.htm
Geeze... did they lift that nose off Dad’s old Studebaker? It’s just too close!

Yes Fritz, the car, while 'pretty,' is possibly a bit of what today would be called a mash-up of cues/features seen on other pre-existing models. But I was interested in it because both the Marque and this model are very rare - I'd never seen one before. BTW, the back end is I think well integrated:
Drove one of these around '72/'73 and the engine note was great and the steering frighteningly quick until you'd got used to it. A 'brave' effort I feel by Citroen, which didn't quite come-off. Talking of 'brave' any technician opening the bonnet of one of these for the first time and seeing this, would need to have that attribute!
