Re: possible UFO car?

SHADO
Thanks for the suggestion, James. I'll check out IMCDB to see if I can figure out what series I was thinking of. Although with all the different Citroen models that are listed, I may never find my answer, lol!

and exotic cars I used to see it in Road & Track and if I remember correctly
it cost at the time about $15,000. By way of comparison a Shelby Mustang
from 1968 cost $10,000 and a Rolls Royce would set you back only about 50K.
The Citroens were rather spacely looking. As I mentioned earlier the
Contessa di Conti had a SM model but it was white. Might try checking the
IMCDB and looking under Citroen and see which series it was featured in and see
if a name rings a bell. Then check the photos from that series and see if its
a brown one.

Now that I took a quick look at the episode again, I see that it is a
Jensen. I must have either been thinking of a different episode, or
a different TV series entirely. Wonder where I saw that brown
Citroen? Gonna bug me all day.

Like VW Beetles owners, those who have 2CVs will often not even
consider owning any other make/model of car, so there must be
more to them than than meets the eye! ;)

Are you guys referring to the 2CV (French reference to "deux cheveaux",
literally, "two horses", which is the HP the car has?

Paul,

I don't know if it is the one you are referencing, or not. I know nothing about Citroens, merely said 'yecch' after looking at a photo. But I'm sure Rob will chime in with what he knows about them. Interesting info you've provided! Is it all true?

Jeff
P.S. Just received 3 'custom' mousepads with screen caps of a Mobile, Sky 1, and Moonbase on them. Very cool!
