Citroen-Powered Three-Wheeler: Performance Vehicles Trihawk
We’re big fans of odd layouts, and this certainly qualifies. The TriHawk had a short run in the early to mid 1980s and offered super-light weight, low center of gravity and eye-catching style. Think Slingshot, but way ahead of its time and with the added bonus of being built in Dana Point, California. Add in…

1962 Citroen 2CV Sahara
Here’s one of our favorites, which is basically a Citroen 2CV with dual engine to yield four wheel drive. This was specifically built four exploring the French colonies in Africa, but we assume it was expensive or not too competitive with the Land Rover, given production under 700 units total. These are now collector cars…

Good Morning, Vietnam-Style Citroen Truckette
Just picture this in blue with Tuan (AKA Phan Đức Tô) stealing it with eggs falling out the back. You get the picture… This is basically a 2CV with a small van body on the rear and these were in production and in use for many years. This is hard to beat from a coolness perspective,…

Beautiful Brown Citroen HY Van
This awesome example of post-war French styling is fittingly for sale in Roswell, New Mexico. As was often the case with post-war European vehicles, this H van had a very long life cycle. Given it’s a commercial vehicle, this one pushed the limits with production from from 1947 to 1981. The original design used a…

Recent Oddimobile Sightings – January 10, 2016
What with holidays and CES, Oddimotive (almost a one-man show) has been slow. Fear not, however, as we’re back on a schedule! Also, slow on posts doesn’t mean slow on sightings… Let’s get started… Let’s start with a lovely, almost Grabber Blue Festiva spotted at Malibu Creek State Park. Surely this fits right in driving…

One and a Half Citroen Meharis
As is often the case with true Oddimobiles, this is a package deal with a rolling chassis (with title) and a donor car with the mechanical bits. If you really love Citroen Meharis – like us – this could make for a great project! The reddish one has a title and the white one has…

Citroen: Keeping France Weird Long Before Austin
Any Citroen is quite a sight, but this adds the strangeness (for the US market) of right-hand drive! The seller recently imported this car from the UK and claims it is registered in Oregon. Given it is from the 1974 model year, one might even be able to register this in California! Don’t get too…

Fly in/Drive Home: Citroen Mehari
Okay, of you’re in the US, driving home from the Netherlands might be ‘interesting’. Still, this super-cool Citroen Mehari is worth a look. We featured one of these back in 2013 and we still love them! The seller provides only a little into, but these are remarkably simple and the photos show a car in…

A Fittingly French Sale?
If you are a Citroen CX fan, this is the one to have – the GTI Turbo 2. The turbocharged, intercooled 2.5-liter four cylinder put out 168HP, which was nothing to sneeze at in the mid- to late-80s. And, of course, wacky French styling comes standard, inside and out. What makes this a fittingly French…

1958 Van Store!
It’s hard to find any reference to this vehicle’s name nor any proof that only six of these exist, but that’s what the seller claims. Short version – it’s a commercial van with cool sliding roof. With this, you’d easily have the coolest hipster food truck! The seller doesn’t reveal much, but how much do…
