About the Citroen GS

Our records for the model Citroen GS run over 1970 - 1986 and include 4 versions in total. They come as Hatchback, Wagon, with power listed as 107 hp. The VIN reveals the manufacturer, the model year and the country where the car was built. If the maker codes it, the 11th character also points to the assembly plant.

Keep in mind that a decoded VIN says nothing about a vehicle's past: no accidents, no mileage, no theft flags and no owner list are stored in it. Look at the VIN of the car Citroen GS in more than one place. The number on the dashboard and the one on the door frame should agree with each other and with the paperwork.
