[WIP] 1994 Citroën AX Tonic (1.0)

The choice of a first car is a complicated one these days. Finding a compromise between purchase price, insurance, reliability and safety often results in the purchase of a Clio or a 206 - 207 with mileage close to the distance between Earth and Moon.

 

I was recently faced with this choice, with 3 possible models: the famous Twingo 1, the Peugeot 106 and the Citroen AX. 3 vehicles that look sober, slow and, for some, down-market.

 

It has to be said, the AX is a pro in all three of these aspects: 50hp petrol engine, no air-conditioning, airbag or central locking (will come in 1995!), optional right-hand exterior mirror and rear wiper. That's the basic car!

 

Nothing can match it, but that's its strength! The catalog is packed with limited series, the most famous of which are the “K-WAY”, “Reflets” and “Images”. Two limited series were not (because they were almost always available in the catalog!): The “Spot” and the “Tonic”. These series allow us to add the aforementioned equipment to create a distinction between the lower end of the market and the very lower end!

 

I hope to write the rest very soon, once the model is finished (the most observant will have noticed that the model has been finished in Paint!) In the meantime, enjoy the holidays!
