The car was bought by the previous owner, Nick Hopkinson whilst on holiday in France, from Jean Luc Bardon of Thiviers in the Dordogne (Department 24) in June 2001. The car was driven home the 500 miles to Yorkshire where it stayed until October 2014 when the seller acquired it.
This particular variant has a 1985cc Carburettor fed Petrol engine with a manual 4 speed gearbox and it will keep up with modern traffic with no problems and is DIY maintainable.
The lower bodywork (chassis is original and unmolested) was restored several years ago by GM Motor Services in Holmfirth for the previous owner and painted in the original Citroen ‘Bleu Delta’ (AC640 AS).
Since acquiring the car the seller has re trimmed the seats, internal door cards etc. and carpets which have all been recovered/replaced with the original material from a specialist supplier in Holland.

However old French control technique info (in the history file) to support the mileage along with UK MOT’s etc is available along with lots of repair bills, plus the original French LHD headlights and speedometer head in kph come with the car so it can easily be converted for European use.
