mitch Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 The Citroen Dyane was manufactured from 1969 to 1983. Last UK cars were sold in October 1982. Factory pre-production designation was DN. Say it with a French accent. DeeAnn. It's another of those Citroen jokes. Like DS (DeeEss) "Goddess" in English. The Dyane was probably an attempt to "modernise" the 2CV. It had the same chassis and engines, but uprated to 29BHP. The Dyane 4 (435cc) was sold until about 1974. The Dyane 6 (602cc) became the best selling version. It was probably the first hatchback car on sale in the UK. Quote
truemouse Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 So why didn't they leave it with the original designated letters? DN Makes you wonder though, how they got 'AX', 'BX', 'CX', 'XM' and 'ZX' Quote
