Here it is on the site, or at least the sedan version:



I was a little sorry mine wound up absolutely rusted out after reading in an English magazine the estate version was 'ultra-rare'. I still have it. A few years ago it had become home to a black snake which had come in through a convenient rust hole in the floor and could sun itself on the dash.

I wish.

But it was on loan, sadly, was sold in the early 80s and I believe is now in Far North Queensland of all places in a museum.

I hope to visit it mid-next month to see if it is the one.

Default van

Keith,
You used to take that sig van on VMVC outings in mid 1976 ... One trip to the Murrundindi area , up towards Yea , I recall . I also spotted it in Warburton or Healesville ( can't remember which ) in the late 70's or early 80's.. probably after it had passed from your hands
Mike

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso

Runs on LPG (and petrol), does about 10 km to the litre on LPG, 12 km to the litre on petrol.

2.0 litre engine, 143 bhp/200 Nm, electronically controlled six-speed gearbox.

Very comfortable car for driving long distances, seats five to seven people.

Some MLU members got a ride in it at Normandy. Not as good as the F15A, but it gets you there
