I saw one of these near Athens a few days ago. It was a U.K. 65 plate sitting in beachside car park along with 6 or 7 black S Classes and 2 Audi A8’s with Albanian plates. 🤔

Did you take a picture?

From a distance. :D

Citroen Ami 6, I think. Sort of larger, uglier, less well known sibling of the 2CV, spotted at Exeter service station after enduring the same tortuous run up the A30 as I had (accident near Okehampton closed the road for quite a while). Mildly amusing numberplate too!

Lad in my infants schools parents had one of them. Their surname was Aminoff!!

That's a Bertoni designed Ami 8 Break. Smoother front end and the estate bodied, sold from 1968 onwards as a competitor to the (far better ) Renault 4. Both larger cars than the 2CV, the Ami was nicknamed the 3CV because of the extra size and POWER.

Faster (32bhp), more nimble, and "easier for women to drive and park." (Their claim, not mine) You could genuinely take a family of four away to the coast for a fortnight in it. At gentle speed, with a lot of gear changing on any hill.

Could do 75mph (downhill with the wind behind it)

Wafer thin panels that would dent if a bumble bee hit them. Fortunately the car looked as if it had run over a couple of schoolchildren from the moment it came out of its factory in Brittany.

A run out car because the game changing Renault 16 had arrived

Love that photo. 👍 I’ve seen it before somewhere.

Borrowed from the Classic and Sportscar review but probably from the original marketing pack.
 
H reg suggests 1990s but the body style - or at least the lights look much older - so I wonder whether it’s some kind of conversion? Very nice looking car regardless.
