It's not a Citroen and I don't know the date of the engine, but the car was built post-war.

Post by: tobytwirl on September 29, 2019, 06:03:52 PM: Its extraordinary how after hours of searching, merely putting the same words in a different order produces the result - it was one Stig Gruen who built it. I quote "Chassis in aerospace steel and body in aluminum and the luscious rain number Z6000!!!!"
