    Citroen Ami8

    Taken last saturday, near Rozenburg.

    History
    The Ami 8 was presented to the public as successor of the Ami 6 at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1969, Designed by Robert Ophron and his team, the Ami 8 was more than a face-lifted Ami 6.

    Though some say that the Ami 8 lacks the unconventional appearance of the Ami 6, the Ami 8 to me is superb in it's style. The caracteristic reverse-rake rear screen was replaced by a fast back and the frontend got a smoother look. Mechanically the car was much as before although in September 1969, the Ami 8 became the first A series to be fitted with front inboard disc brakes.
