hmm combine citroen reliablity (although the old ones are a little better) with the complexity of a normal oldschool citroen + a rotary :rollin

I am totally intrigued,why did Citroen buy them back and destroy them ? That is a story that begs to be told ?:Typing

Citroen were actually using a licensed version of the NSU RO 80 engine.
Due to the deservedly bad reputation that NSU were getting at the time,Citoen did not want to be tainted by the same bad rep,hence the buy back!
Makes you wonder what has happened to Citroen in recent years,and why they don\'t apply the same philosophy...........................
