CLUB NEWS !

There is still only one C4 in the club, but C5's are rapidly gaining in popularity, as it would seem C3's. In fact there are now three C3's and 3 C5's represented on the committee. There were only six Citroen Xantia Activa's sold new in NZ and two of them are now in the club.

GT Continental (formerly Tory Continental) are the Citroen dealers for Wellington. They are one of the biggest car dealers in Wellington, and are located on a prominent site opposite Te Papa on Cable St. Call in and test drive a new Citroen. Tell them you are a club member.

There are believed to be seven C6's in the country, which are only sold to order. None in Wellington as yet however with the new C5 pending later in the year look out for some discounted series 2 C5's.

WANTED:We are trying to source the oldest Citroën in the club that is roadworthy, ie WOF & reg. Let the web editor know. Better still send me a picture !

It’s called a “KIWI”

The French might have beaten the All Blacks but this little number will live on. A special edition Pluriel with irridescent green/yellow paint and black leather interior. Citroën have named it the Kiwi.
