@Nobleco I haven't got a lot of matchbox and majorette citroën (an XM, CX, Couple of DS) because they are quite hard to find without paying massive shipment costs. The DS you talked about from altaya, is it the Dinky reproduction?



I don't know about it being a Dinky Copy but here is a couple pictures of it. This car was given to me by Cam, one of our member here when he came for a visit last summer. He or his wife has relatives about 15K from here.

Yes Jay, I noticed that when you posted your Tin Citroen. It does look like the same can. I wonder if the same person built both cars. I guess we will never know. Mine has no marks or ID on it at all. There is some tape or paper left on the bottom. Maybe a name tag or maybe a price tag but it is large. Not sure as there is nothing left but the half thickness of some paper.

Mine has no markings at all either, i wonder where they came from?

I have seen how they are made in Madagascar, they just use whatever tins are available. They do the same in other African countries (there was a chap from Nigeria who started becoming serious about these and posted some on a blog here, will post when I find it)

Welcome from another relatively new member. I have always liked Citroens, especially the SM. As a company they certainly do their own thing. I came across this picture the other day. I wonder if anyone has made a model of the Four Door SM otherwise known as the 'opera'






or this one?






Frankly the 2 door coupe was way better looking

I also like the SM, especially the headlights the back is not my style. it's a beast. 


do you know that when the car was unveiled several directors and press where killed? this car has special steering, but if you are not familiar with it and drive 100 mph a smal mistake is enough to get killed

Je suis sur ce forum depuis un petit bout de temps déjà. Je collectionne les Anglaises et j'ai lancé le topic sur les Triumph. Je crois bien que c'est en postant une MG que j'ai découvert ce forum très intéressant.

Better late then never. Welcome to the rollercoaster ride of collecting toycars. Citroen is a fave to collect along my many themes.

Checked your site. A solid collection.
Might want to add the titanic too as their steering was manufactured by citroen

The Titanic? as in the ship? I didn't know that


As for the fairtrade DS's... check out what I got today from my uncle
