1969 CITROEN Type : Ami 6 Serial number : 582651 Sold with photocopy of French registration document 2 000 / 4 000€ The Citroën Ami 6 (popularly known as the "3 CV") was manufactured from 1961 to 1969. The primary objective was to offer customers a compromise between two models: the top-of-the-range DS, and the bottom-of-the-range 2 CV. The result was a highly popular range of vehicles in a variety of forms. The first Citroën Ami cars, built on the 2CV platform, were produced temporarily at the Panhard plant on avenue d'Ivry in Paris, then very quickly at the newly created Rennes-la-Janais (Ille-et-Vilaine) and Forest plants in Belgium. It was the best-selling car in France in 1966, taking first place from the Renault 4 (the latter's 5 CV versions being counted separately). The Ami 6 broke new sociological ground by presenting itself in advertising literature as the ideal second car for the lady. As for the name "Ami", it's said to have come from the combination of the name "AM", the continuation of the M project, and the number 6 corresponding to its cubic capacity, and some have put forward the hypothesis of its proximity to the word "amici" ("friends" in Italian, Flaminio Bertoni's native language). In fact, according to Citroën archives, the "I" was added to the name "AM" for Automobile de Milieu de gamme. Mme Yvonne de Gaulle drove a carrara-white Ami 6 sedan. The model presented here is one of the very last to be built. From 1970 to 2005, it belonged to Madame Thérèse Blin, a medical secretary in Le Mans, before being sold at auction in 2020 to Monsieur Pottier to complete the collection. An extensive file of invoices will be handed over to the buyer. In 2020, the car will become part of the museum collection and will remain in a static state. A restart is planned. 1969 CITROEN Type : Ami 6 Serial number : 582651 Sold with photocopy of French vehicle registration document The Citroën Ami 6 (popularly known as the '3 CV') was produced from 1961 to 1969.
