I love, love, love '70s & '80s Citroens! I don't think I've ever seen one so well preserved, too! Your car has the same shift lever as the early auto DeLoreans, doesn't it? Or do they just look alike?
I didn't realize you owned a Bricklin! That thing looks factory new down to it's original tires!

I read an article about those Prestige Citroens in Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car a month or two ago. They're very very neat cars and I've always liked Citroens. Right now my other car is a really junky AMC Pacer.
I've added some goodies since I bought it, these pictures were taken a couple hours after I got it. It's a '76 with 232 and 4-speed with posi rear end, power disc brakes and steering, air conditioning and center console from the factory. Things I've added since are a set of rally wheels, side vent windows, a factory clock, back panel overlay. I may be selling it soon though.
Oh yes, and I'm usually much better with a camera than this. It was an off day. Maybe that's why I bought a Pacer!

BTW, to "Delorean" that Citroen is very unique and cool. Good find.

Great looking Z car, Jeremy. I recently had the "pleasure" of doing the timing belt on 300ZX twin turbo.
My previous cars were:
1997-2000: 82' Datsun Maxima (my first car, *sniff!*) Had to give it away
2001-2005: '90 Dodge Spirit, drove it to death, blew a head gasket, killed the trans
2004-2005: '93 Plymouth Duster, same engine as above only in a smaller, sporty 2-seater chassis
Then there's my '82 DeLorean 2004-present Not losing that one! I really need to buy a newer car one of these days for regular use.
I'll post some photos when I can of my daily driver and maybe our other cars. In the meantime, I drive a 2005 Sebring with a sunroof.
We do have four cars sitting in our driveway, and there's just me and my dad. During our last neighborhood garage sale, Dad has been trying to sell two of them: our '97 Explorer and our '87 Cadillac. At first, the Explorer was sold for a few days, then the buyer had to give it back for the money he spent for it (Dad only sold it for 1.9K$), so he can use that money to support his mom on the other side of the world. Since then, the '97 has ended up being Dad's daily driver. That over his 2007.
EDIT: Okay, I got some pics of my Sebring, my only daily driver. It is a pretty sexy car that looks like a shark with a sunroof.
It...finally...rained.
