Nice one Mike.
Think the first clip is the one that is on the mainsite but liked the GTi clip a lot.
I have emailed citroen uk several times about archive footage but sadly no response at all from them.

Cheers
Luke

Luke,

You're right on the first clip, it is on the main site :oops:

I've never had any response from Citroen on the 2 letters I've sent them regarding coverage of the 20th anniversary next year, it's like there just not interested :o

I have a mate who works at a Citroen dealership, he often goes to Slough on training coarses. I've asked him on a few occations to try and get hold of old promo material etc, but all he got was the opinion that Citroen UK have no interest in their old models whatsoever, which is a shame because i bet most of the "new" Citroens are bought by people that have been into them since the days of the BX,CX and alike.

Is it just Citroen who have no interest or is it most car manufacturers :?:

Critters was ace like Gremlins on steroids :shock:
When you mentioned the sand dune I thought the film reference was going to be Dune LOL!

Maybe we should speak to the CCC as they seem to have close ties with Citroen UK ?

they have! they had a propper citroen stand at the CCC show in huntingdon. Also, the last 2cv camp i went to in Cornwall was sponsored by Citroen with a massive bag of free goodies! mouse mats, mouse, pens, books, etc...
Worth persuing Citroen as they do other events!
