The Citroen LNA

[Loxlee]

Right this is quite odd but a friend just told me she is soon to become the proud owner of a nice little white LNA. Now I think I have only ever seen one in my life and I don't really know much about them so as any normal retro rider would do I was instantly trying to find some nice examples!

This is what I have found so far (not much )






I can't find any slammed ones I don't know much about them but I know it is a 1.2 (engine shared with anything else?)

Suspension wise, what are we looking at?

Proper odd little cars these and obviously in my eyes that makes them uber cool!

[Sinky]

Cant remember ever seeing one of these before?
seen plenty visas tho
Looks pretty cool!

[Ratchet]

There the same as the peugeot 104 and talbot samba(?) good old PSA badge engineering

Some of the citreon ones came with the old 602cc twin out of the 2cv/dyane but most were the canted over 1100 lump that visas and early 205s had, well if I remember correctly.


cool tho, and pretty rare these days, think the 104 was/is a bit more common tho

[welshpug]

coil springs all round

leant back engine box in the sump head up against the bulkhead (engine out job to do the headgasket)

[skinnylew]

would that be the one that was on the 'bay?
Looked smart, quirky little cars they shared platform with the Talbot Samba/Pug 104 i think.
The LN (light blue one) was France only on 2cv engine apprently (so wiki tells me...)
It'll be a 1.1 engine.
oh my google fu rustled up this thread from 07!

Must have seen one of these in France I would guess though can't recall seeing any TBH.
No modded ones showed up in a quick search for me either though this lot did.

That photoshop is ace! ;D

So Pug 104 and Talbot's bring up a few more better pictures! Does anyone know exactly how interchangeable bits are on them?

Also wheels, they are 3 stud by the looks of it, what else is shared with them that would fit? I'm presuming tiny wheels only!

Have some variations of the LNA...

What are these wheels? They are awesome












Are those pug wheels standard they seem to be on a lot of them?

[RA40tony]

Love them. My mum had a Citroen LN in 89, seemed to remember it had an aircooled engine (2cv). Handled tidily and was pretty cool in its pinkish red

I suppose that these wheels might fit nicely.


There were some really delicate looking 3 spoke dog-leg alloys on eBay recently, must've sold so I can't find them now, but they were a 3 stud and listed as being for a turbo something... I forget.

Pretty sure the majority of mechanicals will be shared with the 104 and samba but don't quote me

Those wheels look like KN jupiters , like these

i thought that the stud pattern would be the same as more modern psa products, like the AX and 106 but seems not.

[mkickert]

Nah, they only share the stud pattern with Citroen Visas. AX's, Renault and the like have a different PCD.
The Sambes are popular with rallying guys though, so three piece rims come up relatively often.

[Dom]

Not quite with AX and 106. They're 3x98 and the rest 3x100.
Pity cos I wanted some of those cool 5-spoke ones further up for my AX.

[faker]

Old thread bump! Sorry! Rims on the samba are 6" meteor rims were as the ones in the link are 5"s. However I would take any of them, as they are hard to get now, anyone know the ones on the visa forum, they were only advertised 3 years ago after all!!!!!

[whitbytom]

On the subject of Sambas there's a very tidy looking one on C&C right now:

Slater's one is not here. This is unacceptable.

I know it's a 4 door, but it should still be in this thread

[faker]

Awesome lads! 4 stud conversion on last one is pretty cool.

[unitybonez]

That one looks sweet!
What sorta rims are those? Look like Techno but with sharper points, or like Superstars but one piece.... Ed Ratley's guide is no help either.
