Matthias' Citroën GS 1220 Pallas
Established May,29th,1999. Last update August,7th,2000.
Many of the photos are available in large size JPEG format by clicking on them!


Citroën GS cars were also built in Slovenia at Cimos factory in Koper. The country being under communist regime for many years after WW2 most of the people weren't wealthy enough to buy DS or ID (see My DS pages). Even 'small frog' was considered quite a car in seventies here. They've been fairly popular (my neighbour has sold his ID and bought himself a new GS). GSs were plentiful on the roads of Slovenia until the last five years, when they have started to disappear. They were also No.1 abandoned cars left on parking lots - and too expensive to maintain properly having less and less resale value. These days is impossible to get more than 50.000,00 Sit even for a car in good condition (equivalent of DEM 500.-). I've seen many of them left in the scrapeyards - waiting for the last journey. The last year 1/10 of Slovenian population purchased new cars, so GSs are becoming less seen than before...

This is the original French car. As I have tried out other GS cars, it seems they were less detailed than mine. Even doors on mine shut with minimum effort - just with a little push...
These are the night shots. Not very clear because of small format and enlargement of the photos. The night shot. Load size 74 kbytes.The night shot...The night shot...

The very car was my first Citroën. I've got it cheap, because the car was damaged over the whole right side and I fixed it myself. After that it has been collisioned for 4 more times (once was my fault) - and funny - 2 times of that by the same person. You can see the last one - dented original door, damaged by a scumbag who had disappeared immediately after the accident, so I even hadn't a chance to see him. This car is to be restored - or scraped completely; I haven't decided yet.
