Hmm, this one is a mixed bag. 1985+ 3 point rear seatbelts (so it appears) and deleted chrome behind the passenger door and on rear passenger and 3rd side windows, but wipers still chromed ![]() |

Looks like rear seatbelts came much earlier. This also has the pre-1983 badge. This is a long shot, but I'm mixing different brochures together: 1977 UK brochure - no rear belts: http://www.citroenet.org.uk/publicity-brochures/1977gb-a/008.jpg http://www.citroenet.org.uk/publicity-brochures/1977gb-a/004.jpg Autumn 1978 (1979) Dutch brochure - rear belts: http://www.autominded.net/brochure/citroen/1979%20Citroen0405.jpg 1980 German brochure - rear belts: http://www.citrobe.org/images/2cvd80de.JPG January 1981 brochure (there should be a picture here but the service won't let me) - no belts... -- Last edit: 2023-06-18 12:22:00 |

So I was wondering why apparently for a very short time in 1984 they had the rear window chromed while all other years didn't, and it turns out I was cleverly fooled! For the 1984 brochure, they reused a pic from the 1981 brochure! Note the gleam on the front mudguard: January 1981: ![]() January 1984: http://www.citrobe.org/images/2cvd0185cd.JPG July 1984 (1985): http://www.citrobe.org/images/2cv0784cd.JPG In this brochure, which is labeled as 1981 but mentions "cars in the year 1982" there is no chrome on the rear windows anymore: http://www.citrobe.org/images/2pkd81bl1.JPG http://www.citrobe.org/images/2pkd81bl4.5.JPG The subject car still has the old badges replaced in the summer of 1982 (1983 MY) so with that along with rear window chrome being confirmed deleted, it should be precisely a 1982! |
