Citroën Ami 6 - the Miss Miracle
Between 1961 and 1969, Citroën sold over one million Ami 6 vehicles. The technology came largely from the 2 CV, the unmistakable design by Bertoni and some elements of the interior were borrowed from the goddess DS. The practical car was particularly popular with the ladies, not least thanks to the centrifugal clutch. This report describes the history of the compact Ami 6 and shows it in many historical illustrations, which are themselves true gems of photographic art, as well as a sales brochure from the time.
"Not a car for philistines, but we like it!" At least that was the verdict of the young couple who were given the Ami 8 by Hobby magazine for a day and whose reactions the editors observed with the camera. You have to approach it with youthful light-heartedness if you want to give it an all-round positive assessment. And this is how the Hobby Ami 8 story was created in words and pictures. Fun is guaranteed, especially forty years later!

Citroën Ami 8 - Almost bourgeois
Originally only intended as a quick emergency solution, the Citroën Ami 8 remained in the range for almost ten years. With a more mass-market look than the Ami 6 and unchanged outstanding comfort, it seemed to be the perfect compromise. However, it was already too ordinary for most Citroën fans, but still too Citroën for everyone else. In this article, we tell the story of the Citroën Ami 8 and its muscular brother, the Ami Super, and show that it is not always easy to please everyone.
In the winter of 1974/1975, the magazine 'hobby' compared eight compact cars from five countries in a meticulous test that required driving on the Nordschleife and the participation of eight test drivers: the Audi 50 competed against the Citroën Ami Super, Datsun Cherry, Fiat 127, Innocenti Mini, Peugeot 104, Renault 5 and Simca 1000 GLE and won hands down. The Datsun Cherry came second, but this was not the only surprise in the extensive comparison test. This article re-edits the findings of that time, showing the results in detail and the vehicles in many archive photos from back then.
