Serge's new cars
- Hi
- The P76 was delivered this week.
- She runs great, 95% faultless mechanicly, the rest of the car only needs minor repairs that for which
- I have all the contacts.
- She will be one great 76 soon.
- Thanks all for your help.

- Well my P76 was delivered today its a bit of a wreck.
- I will strip all usful parts and dumps the body.
- It looked so much better at 50 feet away when looking from the road.
- Still I will get some good parts.
- Regards Serge
Another car recovered for spares
- I also have a small fleet of Citroens which keep me poor, hence a turn in WA to make some bucks and get them all restored and extend the shed.
- 1925 5CV Citroen roadster
- 1948 Light 15 Citroen sedan
- 1974 GS1220 Club Citroen sedan
- 1974 DSpecial Citroen Sedan
- 1986 2CV Special Citroen
- I even have a 1962 ID19 Citroen Sedan which is number 64 built in Australia, it's a French ID19 Parisienne sedan which was sent to Australia as a kit, but it is just a shell that was stripped for all its parts.
- Citroens have suffered like P76 from being unwanted, worthless and stripped for all their parts.
- One of these cars I bought for $600 registered and roadworthy, a crying shame for such fine cars.
- You can't even sell them for the cost of restoration.
- My first love in cars was the P76, we had the country cream deluxe that was due to shipment to the UK.
- Some lucky person I hope still has it.
- So that's why I am searching for one now.
- It wasn't until last month when a friend gave me his Nutmeg Super for nothing that my excitement was rekindled.
- The Nutmeg one is only good for stripping sadly, it has no engine and hasn't moved from her parking in the sun in an industrial yard for many years.
- Remarkably the white interior is still in good nick, I hope to slowly rejuvenate it and maybe use it in the future.
- The old owner used the hub caps on his boat trailer, so I hope to extract them from him.
- I've attached the pic from when they gave it to me last month.
- It's great to be able to find a person who likes P76, every one tells me I'm an idiot for liking the to biggest lemon cars on the road, but then I look at a falcon or a commodore and don't find anything very attractive about them.
