Description from the seller
IN RISALTO
* Equipped with Federperiti Conformity Guarantee Expertise
* Break version
* Original black plates from the province of Genoa
* Technical inspection valid until June 2027
HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Citroën Ami 8 represents one of the most original cars in 1970s French production, conceived to offer comfort, practicality, and excellent running economy. Evolution of the Ami 6, it is distinguished by its revised lines, excellent absorption of irregularities thanks to the famous Citroën suspension system and the characteristic air-cooled two-cylinder engine, which contributed to its success across Europe.
The unit offered at auction is a 1977 Citroën Ami 8, preserved in its original configuration and capable of keeping intact all the charm of one of the French compact cars most iconic of its era.
The car has recently undergone a legal technical inspection by the previous owner, passed without defects.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork was completely repainted a few years ago by the previous owner in the correct factory Bleu Petrel color. It still presents itself in good overall condition, with a glossy and well-maintained finish, ready to be used and appreciated.
Recently a professional polishing and detailing treatment was performed to further enhance the car’s aesthetic appearance. An ultrasonic thickness test showed no signs of accident damage on the body.
The chassis has been repainted and the floors restored during the previous restoration work. The overall condition is solid and structurally sound, suitable for regular road use.
INTERIOR
The cabin is complete and well preserved. The seats retain the original fabric upholstery and some normal signs of use consistent with the car’s age, as do the door panels and headliner.
The dashboard retains the distinctive single combined instrument cluster and the original single-spoke steering wheel, distinctive elements of the model. The cabin headliner is in good condition, and the windows operate correctly, contributing to a tidy, authentic, and pleasant environment.
A thorough cleaning of the entire cabin has recently been performed.
MECHANICS
The engine was recently restarted after a period of inactivity, as the car comes from a private collection, and is currently running. The gearbox, clutch and braking system operate correctly, and the gear engagements are smooth during use. The technical inspection is currently valid until June 2027, confirming the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
As with any classic car, before undertaking long trips it is advisable to perform a general check and a normal preventive inspection.
This Citroën Ami 8 Break represents a pleasant opportunity for classic car enthusiasts. The original configuration, the black plates from the province of Genoa, the good condition of preservation, and the ongoing technical inspection make it an authentic specimen ready to be enjoyed both for casual use and as part of a collection devoted to Citroën historical cars.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
