SPOT THE SQUIRREL COMPETITION!!
Thanks to Gillian and Peter puddleducks,they have found the picture we use
for the front of our mag comes from an advertising leaflet and a book
called LA 2CV as shown here!
According to Julian Marsh,expert on all things Citroen , the link between
the rather ugly Ford Anglia and the luuverly Ami 6 was no mere coincidence
but a thought out plan by the Citroen designers…..so there! ! !
