I recently received this from him:
Hi Dave,
It's Iñaki from Spain here again.
Last Sunday the 27th of November I found a Citröen Ami 8 Break in San Juan de Luz (France). It belongs to another french surfer who uses it to travel about. On the car's roof he has built a kind of an iron rack to put his surfboards. This is a car made in the early 70s. It still has the old french car plate (black colour) and it belongs to the Pyrénées occidentales (Nº 64).
Hope you all enjoy the sight!
'till later.
Iñaki
Thank you, Iñaki!!

I wish there were more of those in the US.
Hi Dave, I'm a regular reader from Europe and I really like what you do. Just one correction about this car: This is Ami 6, not Ami 8, made in late 60's I think. Ami 8 had more 'conventional' look. Cheers!
Hi Danone - Thank you! You are correct.
Dave
So people just send you pictures they have taken of such cars? Why didn't have I think about doing this myself?
I used to take lots of pictures of unusual cars when I was younger, I'll see if there is something worth mentionning here.
Oh and the district's true name is "Pyrénées-Atlantiques"
Absolutely, Romain. Sometimes I post the pictures here, other times I'll just post them on the Just a Car Geek Facebook page.
Pictures of older cars that were never available in North America always seem to generate the most interest.

Hi friends,
You are right, it's an AMI 6 and not the 8 one. I didn`t have a real look to the back lights that, as you correctly said, are the old ones; the 8 ones are more modern.
And, yes, nº64 is oficially "Pyrenees-Atlantiques" department.
Cheers!
Iñaki
