The Citroën GS was probably the most technologically advanced car in its class when launched,
with class leading comfort, safety and aerodynamic. It filled the Gap between the small Citroën 2CV/Ami and the
large Citroën ID/DS. The GS was facelifted in 1979 and renamed to GSA, and replaced by the BX (1982-1994).
The Citroën GS "car without frontiers" was built to promote the GS in many different countries. The GS was pasted
with all the flags of the countries the car was sold in.
