Citroën LNA

The Citroën LNA was a small Citroën, produced from 1976 to 1986.

The LN was the first product that was produced in collaboration with Peugeot . The LN was based on the Peugeot 104, which was launched in 1974. The car was available with a 602 cc two-cylinder engine.

The model was to "ease" created because farewell to the 2CV had to be taken. The thinking behind it: inexpensive car (2CV engine) with an existing body (Peugeot 104).This was to be the final blow for the Duck. History shows otherwise, the 2CV, the LN and later the LNA just survived. The technique (chassis and engine) of the LN / LNA served as the basis for the later Visa .

The LN (the first version) has become a true rarity. In 2009 there were nearly 20 LN (A) 's known in the Netherlands, of which 17 apk -approved. ==Citroen LNA [  edit ] == In 1978, the LN Athlétique (LNA) was introduced as the successor to the LN. The LNA was the 652cc boxer engine from the Citroen Visa to replace the 602cc, which is a bit too little power delivered to 706 kilogram LN. The top speed thereby increased from 120 to a small 130 km / h.

The LN was quickly removed after the introduction of the market the LNA, as demand was minimized drastically.

In 1982 came the first major change to the LNA. In the first place, there was a large, water-cooled, four-cylinder 1100cc engine from the Peugeot-stable, and the appearance of the LNA was adjusted. For example, the bumpers were wider (there is the assertion that these were made of plastic, that is incorrect, they are made of metal with plastic corner pieces) and the tail lamps with reversing lights and fog lights of the Peugeot 104 were mounted.

The arrival of the 1100cc engine, the demand for LNAs to, and on the domestic market in France and in Italy the LNA sold well. Ultimately, there are 129 611 LN's built (1976-1979) and 223 772 LNA's (1978-1986).

The LNA was until June 1984 delivered in the Netherlands, and in 1983 and 1984 to provide the car with a lot of extras were off. The options included power windows, tinted glass, a clock, a right mirror and alloy wheels.

In the Netherlands there is also one of the special versions of the LNA delivered, namely the Cannelle ("Cinnamon"), delivered in a beige metallic paint with brown accents and a special striping. There were made only in 2000.
