Citroen DS Decapotable (1958 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
While a few European coachbuilders offered cabriolet Citroen DSs, it was the conversion work of Henri Chapron that was considered the most stylish and elegant – so much so that Citroën added his cars to its own model catalogue in 1961, making it an officially sanctioned conversion. -

Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer (2018 - 2022) (Reviews)
The three trim levels are Feel, Flair and Touch, and although the Feel has some useful features, including sat-nav, the Flair and Touch models have some more appealing kit such as Park Assist, a panoramic roof and an electric tailgate. Having gone off sale in 2022, the Citroen Grand C4 SpaceTourer will eventually be replaced by a new model, but until that arrives this version remains a good all-round offering, even though it is essentially a refresh of the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso from 2014. -
Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (2013 - 2018) (Reviews)
The biggest people carrier in Citroen’s range, the Grand C4 Picasso, looks genuinely different from traditional boxy family-movers. Thankfully the designers didn’t forget about practicality. The Grand C4 Picasso is extremely spacious, with mountains of front and rear legroom. -

Good value seven-seat people carrier. Immensely versatile. Easy to drive, good view out for all passengers. Three Isofix fittings across the centre seats. -
Citroen AX GT and GTI (1987 - 1998) (Classics Reviews)
The Citroen AX GT was transformed into a latter-day Mini Cooper thanks to the addition of the brilliant all-aluminium TU-Series engine in 1.4-litre twin-choke carburettor form. ‘Rocky Marciano’ was how the advertisers described it, and they had a point: it was a featherweight that packed a giant-killing punch. -

RUNNING IN A DIESEL: What's the best way to run-in a diesel engine? (FAQs)
However, this does not always work and the extra fuel can instead find its way into the engine sump, contaminating the lube oil and sometimes leading to such a rise in sump oil level that the engine can start to run uncontrollably on its sump oil and will self-destruct. Peugeot/Citroen/Ford diesel engines don't need to get quite as hot as diesels in other makes because they use an additive to help regenerate the DPF. This used to be added to a tank under the back seat, but is now contained in a bladder that needs to be repalce around every 100,000 miles. -

LPG: Where can I get my car converted to run on LPG? (FAQs)
There is now a standard conversion of the Perkins 180 diesel engine for buses and trucks, enabling them to run on LPG at the increased consumption rate of 25 to 50 per cent, but using a fuel which is less than half the price of diesel. New Citroen Xantias, Ford Mondeos, Vauxhall Vectras and Volvos with LPG conversions used to qualify for Powershift grants, but Citroen and Ford stopped offering converted cars and the EC has now stopped Powershift grants altogether. -

How to value your classic car for insurance purposes (Article)
As well as classics, these types of policies are popular with owners of modified classics – whether that’s a Citroen Saxo with £25k worth of upgrades or a Ford Model A Hot Rod. How much does an agreed value policy cost? If you’ve spent five times the car’s value on a nut and bolt restoration, then you’re unlikely to get an agreed value for that figure.
