Beschreibung
The car was sold new in 1979 by the legendary dealership Forsgrens Bilfynd in Abborrträsk. The first owner was sports personality Hugo Lenman, residing in Arvidsjaur. He was meticulous in maintaining his red GS. He kept the car until his passing in 1995. It remained in the family until 2000, when Forsgrens Bilfynd bought the car back. Forsgrens appreciated the well-kept and at that time over 20-year-old car, so they kept it as a nice advertising piece.
In 2004, it was sold to a young man who moved to Björkvik. He stored the car at his father's place in Boden and used it during visits to his hometown. Unfortunately, it was stored outdoors for many years. The current owner, a knowledgeable Citroën enthusiast, got a tip about a rare GS Club Break parked outside in a garden in Boden. He decided to try to save the car. After persistent persuasion, he finally managed to buy the car in 2019.
The current owner immediately set to work on the car, installing a new battery and starter motor, and servicing it, which also included an overhaul of the hydraulic system. Over the years, he has made ongoing improvements, which can be read about in the owner's comments.
The car comes with a spare wheel, jack, service notes, and an instruction manual. The owner is also including a set of new brake pads and extra wheels. The stylish brochure for the GS model is also included.
This is a remote auction, which means the car has not been inspected or test-driven on-site by BWA staff.

-
Zustand Interieur
The interior looks very nice. There is a sunburned hole on the backrest of the driver's seat. See picture.
-
Zustand Exterieur
Gives an overall good impression. There is a small dent that runs as a straight line on the right side of the body, extending from the front fender backward. See the pictures.
The left rear fender has been repaired at some point. Moisture has gotten under the filler, causing rust blisters; the owner has not found any rust holes, only surface rust on the fender. There is also surface rust on the inside lower edge of the tailgate. Both rocker panels have been patched by a professional on the upper side in the door openings, and are only primed. Please look carefully at all the pictures to form an opinion about the condition. -
Zustand gesamt
In Sweden, this is now a rare model. Most Citroën GS cars have succumbed to the ravages of time. This one is in good usable condition. Nothing has been rebuilt or modified. If you repaint the rear fender and touch up other areas, this car can become a gem with relatively little effort.

Kommentar vom Besitzer
Jag bestämde mig för att försöka rädda bilen när jag fick tips om den. Jag har ägt flera Citroën genom åren och hade vid tillfället en Citroën DS. En bekant hade sett en röd GS ståendes i en trädgård i flera år och tyckte att bilen var något för mig. Jag tog kontakt med fastighetsägaren som berättade att bilen ägdes av hans utflyttade son. Den var inte till salu. Men jag gav inte upp och efter flera kontakter med både fadern och sonen fick jag till slut köpa den. Jag skred genast till verket. Jag bytte batteri och den trilskande startmotorn. Gick igenom bromsar och bytte olja i hydralsystemet. Båda strålkastarna har jag fått tag på NOS. Även fälgarna fick jag tag på NOS, dessa skoddes med nya Michelin-däck i rätt dimension.
2021 bytte jag vindruta, kamrem och sträckare byttes 2023 vid mätarställningen 5 675 mil. Jag skickar med lite nya slitagedelar såsom nya bromsbelägg. Även en uppsättning extra fälgar medföljer. Det finns ytrost på bakskärmen där det finns en gammal reparation. Man kan se att skärmen varit omlackerad vid något tillfälle. Jag har inte velat börja bättra och greja med skärmen. Det är bättre den är i ett oförvanskat skick så nya ägaren ser vad han köper.
(NOS, New Old Stock, betyder äldre oanvänd reservdel i originalutförande och motsvarande nyskick)
Fakten zum Modell
Citroën GS at the Paris Motor Show in 1970. The Citroën GS was manufactured between 1970 and 1979. The car was technically very advanced with zero-point suspended front wheels, centrally mounted front disc brakes, and a somewhat simplified hydraulic system from the DS/ID. The car was also produced in station wagon and sedan variants called Break and Berline, respectively. The most common engine sizes were 1015 and 1220 cubic centimeters, but there were a few other versions in France due to tax laws. The engine is air-cooled, which is not very common in today's cars. GS was also produced in 1974 and 1975 with a Wankel engine in 847 examples, but they did not work well and were recalled and scrapped.
