Default Citroen Dyane

No, I'm not joking.
We have a 1981 Dyane (602cc) towing an even older camping trailer - one of url=http://lillebrors-venn.piczo.com/-lillebror-?cr=3&linkvar=000044]these[/url] from 1968. In this country they were called Chateau Mobile.

No problems, despite the fact the engine only develops 35 BHP, we have been all over Europe in her.

Er, no it should only take half an hour at most, as you only need a pair of pliers to flip the springs out of the way - all done with just the bonnet open.

On the older drum brake ones, that's a different kettle of fish altogether.

One thing about A-Series Cits is that they have very good brakes!
