jplemoine ◊ 2012-11-29 17:07	GS tout court...
tore-40 ◊ 2012-11-29 20:33	Indonesian made?

nzcarnerd ◊ 2012-12-04 20:14	Re NZ assembly, I don't think the GS was locally assembled. There were still quite a few cars imported fully built up. Only the frist letter - 'H' - is visible on the plate which would date it to 1974 or 1975. I suspect the Citroens of that era might have been UK market models. Certainly in earlier years our Light 15s came from the Slough plant. -- Last edit: 2012-12-04 20:15:30
