That's half the story Karl, actually during the development of the Traction Avant Citroen went bankrrupt in 1934 due to the very high costs of its development & their biggest creditor was Michelin! So they were owned by Michelin from 1934 to 1976.

Under Michelin naturally Citroen was run as an extended R&D department so it was a testing bed for Radials & other new technologies which Michelin was working on at that time.

Is the green charger the same one which was featured in BSM a while ago? Pity I cannot see the pics. I am on a dialup you see, and if it gets too heavy, it just quits loading. :(

Yup, tis the same charger. They were supposed to feature the Lincoln as well, but they were having so much fun with the dodge that they ran out of time!

karlos most of govinds cars were for sale. there was an add in the papers for them about 9 cars if i remember right. this is quite some time back dont know which cars were sold. do u have any info on this

karlosdeville · 6th August 2007, 22:48

Ramesh has parted with many of his cars over the last few years. Im not aware of him advertising it though.

speedy · 6th August 2007, 22:52

it was in the times of india bom and in the autocar as well. seen it there and had spoken to stanley too about them. i was interested in the lincoln, jag and the porsche.

karlosdeville · 6th August 2007, 22:54

I seriously doubt the jag and lincoln being advertised for sale in autocar, Ive been a subscriber from day one, and have never seen the ads. Could you tell me which issue? The Jag doesnt seem to be a part of the collection anymore, and the Porsche was sold a long time back.
