Details:

The Citroën AMI 6 Brake is a distinctive estate car produced by Citroën between 1961 and 1971. Designed as a practical family car, the AMI 6 Brake was based on the popular AMI 6 saloon but featured an extended rear for increased luggage capacity. Its most striking feature was the reversed rear window, or “bizarre” tail, which improved rear visibility while giving the car an instantly recognisable and unconventional profile.

Powered by a modest 602 cc flat-twin engine producing around 22 bhp, the AMI 6 Brake was lightweight, economical, and simple to maintain, making it ideal for everyday urban and rural use. It shared Citroën’s hallmark front-wheel-drive layout and innovative suspension design, providing a comfortable ride even on rough roads. The combination of practicality, distinctive styling, and affordability made the AMI 6 Brake a popular choice for families across France and other European markets.

For model collectors, the Citroën AMI 6 Brake represents a unique piece of 1960s European automotive history. Its quirky design, compact proportions, and historical significance make it an ideal subject for die-cast and scale models. Collectors value the AMI 6 Brake for its originality and charm, making it a standout addition to any collection of classic French cars or unusual European estates.
