Our Take:
- Rare French Classic: The Citroën Ami 8 is a fascinating piece of French automotive history, designed to offer a practical yet quirky driving experience. Produced from 1969 to 1978, the Ami 8 was a continuation and evolution of the earlier Ami 6, featuring a more modern fastback-style rear. With its unique styling and Citroën’s penchant for comfort, it was designed to stand out in the era it was built—and it still does today.
- Ingenious Boxer's Heart: Under the hood, you'll find the air-cooled 602cc flat-twin (or "boxer") engine, beloved for its simplicity and efficiency. Despite its modest displacement, the Ami 8 can surprise you with its agile performance and gas mileage that can make even some modern cars blush. It's like owning a piece of minimalist engineering, where less really does mean more.
- Uncommon Find in the U.S.: The Ami 8 wasn't officially imported into the United States, making it a rare sight on American roads. Spotting one amongst the sea of common commuters is like stumbling upon a treasure trove of automotive quirkiness. This one's got a clean Oregon title, which is a bonus for anyone looking to add a bit of French flair to their driveway.
- Practical and Quirky Interior: While Citroën was known for its groundbreaking suspension systems, the Ami 8 offers a lively driving experience paired with a surprisingly practical interior. The new interior in this listing suggests it's been lovingly cared for, and with everything functioning as mentioned, it could be the perfect blend of classic style and everyday usability. The manual transmission, while standard in its time, adds to the engagement and charm for today's enthusiasts.
