Attention: pour le second rétroviseur extérieur, il est obligatoire sur les breaks en France depuis le début des années 70... Pour le reste, bravo! |

I have checked out the type indication, and although it is hard to find something. Because not all sources are alike, I think the addition "1220" or "1015" was only used in the modelyears (AM) 1973 and 1974. Because at the end of 1972 the 1220cc engine was introduced. Citroën wanted to show that it had a bigger engine, therefor the type indication was adjusted. Later on (AM1975) it was dropped again, I guess it was not an issue anymore then. Although I would not be surpriced if some cars from after 1975 would have the "1220" or "1015" type indication too. Because they we're not always very consistent when applying changes and because those type indications may cary from country to country. Also the GS was manufactured at many different plants, so who knows, one might still use the old indications. BTW The grille tells us also it is a Club, the Pallas and the CLub are the only ones with the chrome on it. And the Break does only come in a Club trim level (in France) -- Last edit: 2006-11-06 19:10:48 |
