CLUB NEWS !

There is a new 2CV Charleston on the scene, as Sue and Allen Wray have refurbished their "Charli". Read all about it on their website. C5's are rapidly gaining in popularity, as it would seem C3's. In fact there are now four C3's and 3 C5's represented on the committee.

GT Continental (formerly Tory Continental) are the Citroen dealers for Wellington. They are one of the biggest car dealers in Wellington, and are located at 48 Cambridge Tce. (office is opposite on Kent Tce) Call in and test drive a new Citroen. Tell them you are a club member.

There are at least seven C6's in the country, which are only sold to order. None in Wellington as yet although one may be on its way. The new C5 has arrived, so look out for some discounted series 2 C5's.

WANTED:We are trying to source the oldest Citroën in the club that is roadworthy, ie WOF & reg. Let the web editor know. Better still send me a picture !

It’s called a “KIWI”

The French might have beaten the All Blacks but this little number will live on. A special edition Pluriel with irridescent green/yellow paint and black leather interior. Citroën have named it the Kiwi.
