1965 Citroën Prototype S

It is a Citroen prototype but I have something slightly different from that.
Locked for you to dig into.
Maybe you are right and I'm wrong in which case you can prove it to me.

I'll have to dig my Citroën books out tonight, meanwhile here's a proof (sort of).

Yes, I agree it is described as that on some sites; one where it says it's from 1973..

If you just tell me what the "S" stands for I think that will do, but need to also establish the correct date.

Puzzle remains locked for oko94.

the scoop in the bonnet could be lowered to reveal the 4 lights. in daytime the bonnet would be smooth. does that model have a plexi cover for the lights? the idea of nertoni was that the scoop would't hamper the flow of air...

Besides the concealable headlights, its wackiest feature was the bonnet-windscreen combo that was hinged at the top of the A pillars. On a convertible.
