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!

Being a fan of sports 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.

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!
