1972 Citroen Ami 8 Caravan review from Croatia
"Slow, but cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The biggest problem is the rust. The coachwork got a bit rusty, so the metal plates began to loosen up. The floor is eaten by the rust a bit as well, so there are few small holes in the corners.
Homo-kinetic joints and the axles wore out and had to be replaced.
General comments?
It's a rather slow car and it's age is obvious. It is, however, very cheap to ride, easy to repair, and rather reliable.
