	Spotted a six wheeler cx today near Brands Hatch. Very bizarre. It looked like it was factory built or a very good conversion? Anyone throw any light on this? Geoff

	I think Andy saunders built a 6 wheel pickup to carry his citroen "Flying Saucer" around.http://www.mydadstoys.co.uk/Cars/Indecision.htm
	Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style. Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble

	That's a bit mental!! This was a silver estate but looked completed standard except the extra 2 wheels on the back.

	Probably a Tissier conversion, they made them for the Hollander firm to transport newspapers across Europe at high speed...

	French coach builder 'Tissier' built 6 wheel CX's. Some were used as high speed newspaper delivery vans, some were converted to beaver tails, some as ambulances etc. They also converted many DS' & XM's...

	I love this thread. It's proof that no matter how bonkers a manufacturer makes a car, or how huge (CX estates are enormous!) there is always someone willing to take things a little further!

	Michelin also had some as a road test laboratry (sp?) A wheel in the center of the car could be lowered to test new tyres in various places/conditions. Guess those were 7 wheelers

	Dayum! I'm sitting here with my jaw on the floor! These are great! Not a lover of French cars, but I'd have a CX estate in a blink!
