Use 1:100 (1%) two stroke oil in your tank to prevent tank and engine corrosion if you use the modern aggressive fuel that contain 5-10% methanol (not good for the old engine and fuel system materials!)
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
I remember working as an apprentice technichian in a Citroen dealer in the mid 1970's and seeing one of these for the first time. Engine out job to change a starter motor! These things were fast in their day and a real thrill to ride in. The Hydro-pneumatic suspension was fabulous and almost never gave problems. It was the same system as used in the Citroen DS and GS models, rally cool. You can drive a GS or DS with a rear wheel missing and it will still drive ok!
There are similar wackos who think the same of Cadillac. They're both curiosities, but unreliable. Don't get offended; I have a FIAT 126p as a toy and it's a piece of shit too! But it's fun! xD

Stupid United States Federal Law requires that a car can have no more than four 55 watt headlights. Stupid, but true!!

Yes, I had an idea it would be something like this. - Still, many would never notice the difference.

no car in the world can match the driving confort the hydraulic suspension Citroen gives to their cards.
The DS, SM, and now the C5 and C6.
these are proper cars not some Cadillac or American rubbish for which you need to buy share in Oil companies to keep it going.
Vive Citroen.

This was the 70s. And the self-leveling suspension continues to be a piece of shit to this day.
