August 25, 1998. Hello Hans ! It is now 1998 and my car is still not ready. Too many projects at the same time : moving to an old house with restoration needs, more Citroëns, 2 kids, work etc. I also bought a mahogany speedboat this summer so there is no time to rest. Best regards. Pelle Nordström, Luleå, Sweden [email protected]
August 5, 1998. Hi again Hans, (Question by Hans: Why does it say on the picture "l'Ami d'Eva" ) Well the story goes back to the 10th ICCCR where my daughter Eva who was twelve at that time, said that when she gets the driving license she wants an Ami! I'm not quite sure of the reasons - she is artistically very talented (not only my opinion) and has seen an Ami6 earlier because my brother owns one of the 161 Amis imported to Finland in 1962-63. At the time of my daughter's birth my brother owned 3 Amis, one of which he sold to Mr. Nieminen who is now restoring it for her daughter Sonja. The other which was a 1967 Ami 6 Break manufactured in Spain was brought to Finland by an old lady who had worked in Spain. This car was badly vandalized after serving many years in daily use. This car was sold to Mr. Elo who restored it and has now a license plate AMI-6. Both Mr. Elo and Mr. Nieminen are 'responsible' for getting the car to Finland - Mr. Elo and Mr. Cedercreutz had some spare parts and an 2CV Van in France and also had found this Ami6 of which they phoned Mr. Nieminen who in turn phoned me asking 'do you have a car for Eva, there's an Ami6 in France but the decision should be made within two hours because the truck is already there?' At this point I remembered what Eva had said in Mozac (the 10th ICCCR camping site) and against my week old decision of not buying any more Citroens for the time being said 'OK, I'll take it!'. The comments she and her friends made when we went for the first ride would have made Bertoni very happy. It very curious to me to see how genuine and strong appeal the car has to these young ladies. Their only regret is that they still have to wait three years before they get the license. So that is the story of "l'Ami d'Eva". I put it there to test the dark shades of the picture taken with a digital camera. You have good eyes and a good monitor Hans! Regards, Asko Henriksson [email protected]
July 24, 1998. Hans, I was in Tunisia a few weeks ago and saw many 3 door Ami 8 Breaks. I had never seen these before, although I think a 3 door van was sold in the UK in the early seventies. Do you know anything about these cars? I wondered if perhaps they were locally built for the Tunisian market. I attach a couple of photographs. David Graaff [email protected]
July 15, 1998. Hello Hans,here is some information of my Ami6: serial no. 9452154 mise en circulation 17/3/1967 couleur AC144 compteur 72700 km. And here is a photo taken when the car arrived two days ago, customs formalities are now OK and I have a possibility to drive the car with French plates (!) for 30 days before taking the car technical control. But before that I'll go for a fishing&holiday trip with my son with AK400 'multipurpose van'. Have a nice summer Hans! Regards, Asko Henriksson [email protected]
July 13, 1998. Hello and thanks for a fine Ami6-page! My Ami6 transport from France should be here in Finland in two hours! I'll tell you more about the car later. Regards, Asko Henriksson [email protected]
July 10, 1998. I'm owner of an AMI6 berline built in the factory of Forest (Belgium) in 1966. It was in very bad state when I bought it in 1989 and I totally restored it until now because I didn't had lot of leisure time to work on it but I want absolutely finish it for the coming ICCCR in Chevetogne. However I'm still looking after spare parts and I'll be glad to share experiences with other owners of AMI6's. See you in Chevetogne. Laurent Moreau (Belgium) [email protected]
July 8, 1998. Hi! I actually do not have anything om Ami6 or 8. That is the reason I am writing this mail. I am the new and lucky owner of an Ami8, that needs some work. It is also needed to pe painted, and I want I in an original color as it had just come out from the factory. So I am looking for som colorcodes on Ami8. Is this something that you know anything about or do you know any other place? Thanks, Andreas Lorensen [email protected]
June 25, 1998. Hello I'm the Ami Registrar of the 2CVGB. In the UK we have very few Amis, about 50 at last count. Most of these are Right hand drive Ami 8's. Ami owners in this country have great problems getting spare parts for these cars. Are parts for Amis plentiful on the continent? I like all Amis and have two Right hand drive examples. A 1973 saloon Club with traffi clutch and a 1977 Confort Break. How could I find out which factory made these cars? Matt Concannon, UK Ami Registrar. [email protected]
June 5, 1998. My AMI6 of 1968 is a very beautiful museum-piece. Do you want to see it ??? Bye Errico Di Domenico [email protected]
March 1, 1998. Hello and congratulations for job You are doing! Could You please tell me some pages about Ami8 especially. I'm an owner of one of these great cars, so I'd like to view some tehnical pages.. Thanks in advance! Natko Skukan [email protected]
January 28, 1998. Hi my name is Philippe Mortier. I have just imported an Ami6 sedan (1968.. new tail lights, old motor) to AUSTRALIA. I plan to convert it to right hand drive ...mayby next year. I have to finish my 11 BL in the mean time. My Email is [email protected]. The car is originally from the Lyon area, but I bought it in Switzerland (Lausanne) from Benoit Remondin, another A series fan. It's really rough and will need total restoration, however it did travel for 6000 kms. around France last September, with my partner and I and lots of luggage. You can't stop them. Colour; white (slightly green??) Red (cloth) interior. A mail order source of parts would be great.
January 22, 1998. Hello there! I am the proud owner of a citroen AMI6. You can check it out at: http://www.microtec-fr.com/home/raph/ami6.htm. Contratulations for your page! Regards, Raph. [email protected]
January 18, 1998. My wife and I own an 1971 Ami 8. we are currently restoring it back to new condition. Looking for people who can assist us in finding parts. We live in Oregon, USA. I believe we may have one of the only Ami 8's in the US. Ray & Nova Cullen, [email protected]
21 december 1997. Hallo Hans, prachtige Homepage! Leuke trucs, ik kom nog eens terug om wat voor mijn eigen homepage te lenen. (ideeen) Zelf heb ik in 1971 ook een AMI gehad, een bestel uitvoering. Helaas, harstikke rot. Alles wat kapot kon gaan ging kapot, homokineet? links, naar de sloop een nieuwe er in, druklager, naald lager, dynamo, andere homo.. etc. Dus ik heb er meer onder gelegen dan mee gereden! Ik heb hem toen verkocht en de volgende is er op en neer mee naar Spanje gereden (zonder problemen). Maar misschien zijn ze nu beter. In Frankijk heb ik er laatst nog een stel gezien, Dus voor de fanatieke sleutelaars blijft er nog genoeg te doen. Groeten Jacques van Son, [email protected]
December 1, 1997. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am an AMI6 owner. I bought the car in 1969, it has a 602 ccm engine with 32 bhp (Ps). Sincerely yours, Inge Restle, Freiburg, Germany, [email protected]
November 30, 1997. Hi Hans Tacq, I am on the AMI list. As I am not jet an AMI owner, I have only a few things to report to the list. And I think that this will not change until next summer, where I plan my next holidays in France. Here in Germany you get only a few offers if you search an AMI 6 or 8. Maybe there will be some interesting cars for sale at Citromobile? Nils [email protected]
November 30, 1997. My name is Thomas, I do not have a mail address, but I'm writing this message on the computer from my friend Mark. So I own an Ami 6. I bought the car in France in 1990. It is an 1965 model, with 54000 km, the colour is cream white an the interior is red, it has 24,5 hp and an automatic "embrayage" (I don't know this word in English) . I'm really fascinated about this car. But I think the joy of driving would be higher when it would have more performence and when it would be not so noisy. I say thanks for your initiative to create this Ami6-page. It is a great pleasure to read it. What do you think, will Citroën become more creative and produce more individual cars now with the new master Jean Martin Folz? Greetings, Thomas
13 november 1997. Hi Hans, groetje van Joris Bogaard AVN lid nr:653 (Ami 6 Berline '63). Sorry, helemaal vergeten te zeggen: EEN HELE MOOIE SITE!!! GOED GEDAAN HANS! [email protected]
November 9, 1997. Today I brought home the Ami 6 Break Club which I bought from my best girlfriend. The little 1968 Ami is in pretty good, but 29 years old condition, which means a lot of work has to be done to restore my friend for life in its original condition (as was in 1968). For that purpose I'm looking for some spare parts who are hard to come by. First the engine. I know the 35 bhp engine was of poor quality, but since I'm a authenticity fan, I very much would like an original engine (with the oil filter inside of the engine), preferrably completely overhauled with new pistons etc. Also all sorts of smaller parts are most welcome. I.e. the handsome whitewall wheelcovers that are so typically "Club", and new headlight frames. I believe the frames currently mounted are not the right ones. I'll send some pictures along with this mail to define the frames I'm looking for. Furthermore, some extra headlights would be nice, as well as a new (all black) steering wheel. I'm also looking for two bright red front seats (simili + cloth). Of course, when one is restoring a car, all the parts available are most welcome. I wonder what parts you Ami-lovers out there might want to sell. Well, I'm all ears to any proposal you might want to send me. Meanwhile, I wish all of you happy motoring with your little friends. Bye bye for now. Marcel Reimer, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. [email protected] .See the pictures at: Marcel Reimers Ami6 Break Club
November 4, 1997. I am the owner of a 1967 AMI6 Break, which originally was registered (06/04/67) in the Var-district in France, with the licencenummer: 996 NC 83. I have now brought it to Denmark and it will be registeret here, sometime soon. It has the serialnumber: 9851317. I will send a picture as soon as possible. Yours sincerely. Peter Johansen, Copenhagen, Denmark, [email protected]
October 26 1997. Hello. Yes I am an AMI6 owner. My AMI6 -1965 is a Weekend model and I have owned the car since 1975. It is very hard to find spare parts for this car in Sweden, so it would be nice to contact other AMI6 fans via E-mail. Per-Olof Thuresson, [email protected]
24 oktober 1997. Dag Hans, ik wil best wel op je eigenaren lijst. Ook wij zijn in Maurik geweest. Misschien heb je onze Ami zien staan. Het was volgens mij de enige tweecilinder aanwezig die op gas rijd. Mijn wagen is niet origineel, er ligt een moderne eendenmotor en een een versnellingsbak in. Het is de bedoeling dat dit ooit weer eens origineel wordt, maar daar moet ik eerst tijd voor hebben, ik heb namelijk laatst ook nog een ongerestaureerde eend uit '62 gekocht met nog erg veel werk. Deze wagen is gelukkig wel geheel compleet en "rijdt", is niet rot doch wel overal roestig. Groeten uit Eindhoven. Jeroen. [email protected]
October 19, 1997. Bonjour (hi !). When I was living at Lille (in France) a friend give me an Ami6. It was a red one with the top yellow. It have only 7000 km and some pieces with. But, this car was the car of an old man who have died and the 21 people who succified of him didn't know where are the official paper. No solution. the car was destroyed. So, I have the dream to find another Ami6. I love it... Thanks for this page, very nice, really !!! Can you send me the draw of the car you made ? Write me back soon………Filaplomb, France, [email protected]
September 12, 1997. Hi, my name is Dan Hughes. I've got an '63 Ami 6, in original unrestored condition. I live in the USA, Washington State. The City of Renton. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the big international meeting of 2CV friends. My car is all white, with a red interior, and some rust. I've owned the car about 7 years, and it's by far the most reliable car I've ever had. When the wife's Honda breaks down, we all climb in the Ami. When it's deadly cold, the Ami starts up right away. It thinks its bigger than it actually is and doesn't take any guff from those bigger American cars. Sorry, I don't have a digital picture of my car. Dan.
August 29, 1997. Hello! I'm an owner of an AMI 6 weekend -1967 which I use daily to drive my children to school. The car is called "Stinky" since one of the cylinders is badly worn and the car there produces some bad smelling fumes. Stinky is hand painted black whith white roof by the previous owner. Because of Stinky's great performance in city traffic, I've temporarely garaged my two CX TRI's. There are of course some spares that I could use, like new inertia dampers (were to buy 'n how much R they?), Stinky also lack the original petrol heather. I would be glad to share some experiences in how to install a new Eberspecher or similar. I'd also like to thank you for your very nice page! K-J Samuelsson, Stockholm, Sweden, [email protected]
August 8, Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, seit meiner Studienzeit bin ich begeisteter Citroënfahrer. Mein grösster Wunsch ist schon immer ein AMI 6 oder 8. Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es ein solches Fahrzeug in Deutschland zu kaufen? Oder kennen Sie Adressen ueber die solche Informationen abgerufen werden können? Ueber eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen. Entschuldigen Sie bitte,dass ich in deutsch schreibe aber mein holländisch ist sehr schlecht. Met vriendelijke groeten en tot ziens, Rainer Wenzler, Waldkirch, Germany, [email protected]
August 5, I've been offered a Ami 6 from 1966 with 46000 km for 1500 guilders. Is that a good deal ? If I want to repaint it what are the original Ami-colours ? I remember there was a green blue color which I liked very much…,Thanks, Frank Vriens.
July 18, Hello, I'm an Ami6 owner. But I sell it (An Ami 6 wagon, from 1968). If you are concerned, or if you know someone or a club who is concerned, send a E-Mail please! Thank you very much, your sincerly, Jacques Paquier, Paris. See below in the market section!
2 Juli 1997. Beste Hans, Net 1 week geleden heb ik een Ami 6 club (o.a. dubbele koplampen) gekocht. Zij verkeert in een prima staat. Waarschijnlijk is het een belgisch fabrikaat, uit 1969, wit met een rood (overigens perfect) interieur. De vorige eigenaar schijnt uit Utrecht te komen die hem weer uit België heeft weggehaald. Ik ben er heel erg blij mee. Ik wil best op die "owners" lijst al weet ik niet waarom. Ik kom helaas niet naar Maurik want dan ben ik op vakantie. Groeten Renata Honig. [email protected] P.S. Geweldige Web Page!!!!!
16 Juni 1997. Hallo Hans. Leuke homepage. De moeite waard om eens apart genoemd te worden in l'Ami, wat mij betreft. Groeten van Ton Verhees (eigenaar van twee Ami's 6). [email protected]
May 22, 1997. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich besitze einen Ami6, 32PS, gekauft im Oktober 1968 und ich fahre immer noch sehr gerne damit. Ich habe leider nur Papierbilder von ihm. Für eine Nachricht wäre ich Ihnen dankbar. Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Inge Restle, Deutschland (Germany).
March 10, 1997. Dear Friend: Congratulations on your page! Yes, I´m a Citroën enthousiast, and an Ami 6 owner. My car is a 1962 berline. I bought it from the original owner two years ago, and I´m now in process of rebuilding it. It is mostly all original, except for the seats. At this time I´m looking to get the rear round tail lights, the "D" button for the demarreur contact, the driver side door mirror, and the original type of cloth to redo the seats. It is red with black shades cloth. The car color looks very much like yours, with white roof. For now I don't have any pictures, but I will sent in one when it is ready. I will appreciate any tips about places or contacts to get those parts. Yes I'm plaining to go to the 12th, driving the Ami6, or one of the last production 2CV´s I also own. Besides those two cars, I also have a DS23 Break familiare (7 seats), a 1954 2CV (beeing rebuild now) and a 1/2 way done 2CV convertible! Thank you very much for your time and kindness. Sincerely, Daniel Martins, Portugal. [email protected]
9 Maart 1997. Hallo, Ik ben Bud Koolhaas uit IJmuiden, bezit een Ami 6 uit 1965, beige-grijs. Deze Ami is geimporteerd uit Frankrijk en verkeert in "perfecte" staat. Je blijft natuurlijk altijd bezig met je liefde..... Via een vriend ben ik op deze page terechtgekomen en heb belangstelling om met andere liefhebbers in contact te komen. Zouden jullie mij kunnen voorzien van een Owners-list van Ami-bezitters en mij hieraan toevoegen? Een digitale foto heb ik nog niet, maar daar gaat aan gewerkt worden. That's all folks, Groeten van Buddy Koolhaas.
4 Maart 1997. Hans, Jij bent toch een ami van de AMI ? Het volgende plaatje kwam ik tegen in een de Revue Technique Automobile van Sept. '61. Groeten, Mark. (zie/see Ami6 1-2-3)
February 27, 1997. Hello! First I want congratulate you for your site. My name is Julien and I'm student in Luik. I own an Ami6 berline of 66 but it's a 67-model. I bought it in last September in France (La Charité sur Loire) and it's now in reconstruction. I have not a lot of time to spend "with" it I hope I can ride with it in this summer and whynot going to the Nederlands meeting. I'm a recent member of the Ami Club de France, they are very sympathic and also active, they will be at the Reims' Salon with their typicall cars on 8 and 9 of March. I'm keen on this car because it's an unconventionnal car like Citroën could only build. Julien Lecomte, Florenville (South of Belgium).
18 Februari 1997. Hoi Hans, ik ben door jou E-mailtje terecht gekomen op jouw homepage. Ik heb nog geen AMI (helaas) maar ben wel druk zoekende naar een goeie die ook nog eens betaalbaar is. Mijn vriendin is helemaal weg van de AMI-6 en ik hoop er dit jaar een te vinden. Dus als je nog tips hebt dan hoor ik het graag. Ook zou ik graag op de hoogte gehouden worden d.m.v. de mailinglist. Groetjes, Peter van der Heiden, Nederland.
18 Februari 1997. Bedankt voor uw respons. Ik was op dat moment niet thuis maar op school. Ik ben ook een Citroën fan en rij zelf in een Dyane van 1983 in prima staat verkerend. Nou ik schrijf wel weer eens. P.S. leuke homepage, vooral al die Ami's achter elkaar, mijn complimenten. Groetjes, Rinse-Jan Bottinga.
15 Februari 1997. Hallo ik ben gek op jullie homepage. Ik wil wel een keer een proefrit maken in een van jullie mooie exemplaren. Groetjes Rinse-Jan Bottinga, Holland.
January 22, 1997. First, I don't practice English language very well but I will try to communicate. I'm a 2cv owner model 1976, and I try to buy an AMI 6 model 12Volts about 1968. My father had an AMI6 when I was young and it was for me a great memory and it's maybe because I'm looking for this car. Your pages are very interesting and I'm ready to give you informations possible to find in France ( Photographies, news etc...) See you on the Web. Philippe PY, Marseille, France.
January 18, 1997. Hello ! I'm one of the few AMI6 Berline owners in Sweden. Unfortunately I don't have any digitalized picture of my car. My car is a belgian built 1964. I am rebuilding the car at the moment but I don´t have much time so I don't think it will be ready before 1998. I will try to go to the 2CV friends meeting -97 anyway. Thank you for the nice homepage !! By the way - Do you know if a new rubberlist around the front wind-shield is available at the market. There is a white decorstrip in it that has turned all yellow. Pelle Nordström, Eskilstuna, Sweden. pelle.nordstrom @swipnet.se
January 16, 1997. Howdy, I just found your page and if you've been following the 2cv-list you already know that I am the owner of a `66 AMI6 break/wagon which is undergoing a drivetrain transplant as I type (well at this time anyways<g>) It will have its tired, knocking, M4 replaced with a supposedly fresh AM2-M28 and a new tranny with the easier drums and halfshafts. (the old tranny was shot anyways) I do not have pictures available of this only running-driving AMI6 in Texas yet but Blair promised to make a page out of the engine transplant as there may be some available soon. Happy Trails bRad, Texas, USA. [email protected]
January 13, 1997. Hans, Thank you for your AMI6 web page. It's great! I have a 1963 Ami6 Berline. Keep up the good work! Larry Dwyer San Francisco, California, USA, [email protected]

Do you have anything special about the AMI6, please let me know,
the "old-fashioned" way by direct e-mail in stead of those sophisticated guestbooks...

[email protected]

P.S. you can write to me in any language you like,
but I can understand Nederlands, English, Deutsch, Francais and a little Svensk and Suomi
