LJ is the code for Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia (and still used on Slovenian plates). -- Last edit: 2006-06-03 20:27:23 |

Why not Citroën? |

GSs were assembled in Slovenia by a company called Tomos (later Cimos). (I found this out in about three minutes via Wikipedia and Citroen World.) -- Last edit: 2006-06-03 20:48:58 |

Though they were assembled by Tomos, it is not clear if they were just sold/registered as Citroën or as something else. |

Sur le lien précédent, il y a un dépliant qui indique clairement Tomos Citroën. |

Can we call Jack Bauer to zoom this picture using CTU's hardware so we can read what is written on the car?  |

Great find!!!! .gif ":)") It is a Yugoslavian built Citroën GS. It is built by the Tomos company in Ljubliana. Later on the Tomos company changed it's name to Cimos. However the cars they produced where always badged as Citroën. Next to the GS they also produced the Dyane. Furthermore Tomos is know for the mopeds they used to built. The specific GS in this movie is a 1977 GS X 1.2. 1977 because that is the last year the type indication right to the license plat was used. It is a GS X 1.2 because of the quad headlights and black bumpers (although the GS Super 1.2 also had quad headlights and black bumpers for some years). But I am sure it is a GS X, because it also has the specific striping on the side which matches the GS X 1.2 For more info and pictures of the Yugoslavian built cars see my personal website: http://www.citroen-gs.nl -> Types -> Abroad GSs. -- Last edit: 2006-06-03 23:17:44 |

Hi Diehard! You've got the car right, definitely 1977/late 1976 yellow GSX1.2 (honeycomb grille), but you have mismatched Tomos/Cimos a bit. Tomos(Koper,Slovenia) has been finishing(not making complete cars) Citroens from sixties until early seventies. Soon the car finishing business was getting too big for them, they wanted to focus on production of mopeds, so they founded a joint venture with Citroen and Iskra(big slovene company making all sorts of electrical/electronic stuff) called Cimos in 1972. Company was also based in Koper. GS' were still imported complete from France until 1975, when they started to assemble GS Clubs in a new factory at Sempeter pri Novi Gorici. Only Cimos branded "product" was GSA, which was called Citroen Cimos GA. Greetings from a GS owner and thanks for making the excellent GS website |

Update Built in: YU — Made for: YU |

I'd say built in Yugoslavia would be enough. The made for field is only necessary when a car is different (or is called differently) in some country other than teh one where it has been built. |
|

In this case the car is different enough with these headlights to mention that it is a version made for YU, in addition of being built there, no? |
|
◊ 2007-11-25 20:09 |
No, I don't think so. When you see a YU GS that is different from the French version, and you know that there was a YU factory that built GS's, it's quite logic it has been built in and made for YU. You wouldn't say that a French built GS is made for France, would you? Only when there is something to explain, i.e. a difference from what could be expected, this extra info is useful. |

I already hesitated about that double made in / made for  Recent cars are made outside the market where they are built, so in such case some are made in eastern countries but not especially made for these. No, as "made for" indicates a different version than the original one .gif ";)") -- Last edit: 2007-11-25 22:29:37 |

Still... a German Borgward is origin D. A Mexican Borgward can be origin D, built in MEX. A Brazilian VW Beetle is origin D, built in BR. A FASA-Renault 12 is origin F, built in E. There is only need to use the three fields when the ultimate product is different from what could be expected by the last mentioned field: a Volvo 66 with whipers on the headlights and a Swedish license plate is origin NL, made for S, etc. etc. This can also be used for modern cars. |

Maar als ik het goed begrijp is dat voorbeeld van die Volvo dus ook hier het geval. Deze GSX 1.2 (type komt alleen voor in Joegoslavië) heeft quad koplampen. Dit zit alleen standaard op dit type in Joegoslavië en op de GS Pallas GE. Dan is dit type toch 'special gemaakt voor' Joegoslavië? |

Tja, dat is waar. Ik ging ervanuit dat het feit dat een auto in een 'vreemd' land is gebouwd voldoende verklaart waarom die auto in dat 'vreemde' land er zo uitziet, ook om zo de invoer van gegevens zo klein mogelijk te houden. Maar OK, ik leg me erbij neer. I'll accept the double info. ANd once agin, thanks that we've got this extra info-field |
