The Buggy Returns to the UK
Considering the rather unpredictable climate we have in the UK, the popularity of Citroen‘s doorless My Ami Buggy may appear quite surprising. Nevertheless, it seems the charm of this innovative quadricycle has enchanted us and many others across Europe.
Following an impressive reception to the My Ami Buggy concept, Citroen originally produced a limited batch of just 50 for the French market. This successful venture has sparked a much larger production run of 1,000 units intended for several markets, including the UK.
Tailored for British Weather
With a sly acknowledgement of British weather patterns, Citroen’s forthcoming My Ami Buggies will feature a few tweaks. A total of 40 buggies heading to our roads will be equipped with roll-up transparent door covers for some semblance of rain protection—a thoughtful touch, indeed.
Further augmenting the comfort of users, a zippered roof is also on the cards, touted to be more user-friendly and better equipped to keep our homegrown rain at bay.
Tweaks and Twists
Carrying forward the charm of the initial offering, the refined My Ami Buggy II will feature some delightful additions. These include a handy removable zipper bag mounted on the steering wheel, and an exciting lightweight Bluetooth speaker named the ‘Ultimate Ears Boom’ meant for on-the-move entertainment.
Iconic Design Elements
Maintaining its distinct aesthetic, the My Ami Buggy II retains its khaki colour scheme, punctuated with ‘acid yellow’ flashes. The golden steel wheels and unique tubular door detailing remain unchanged, adding to the overall panache of this quirky ride.
Pricing and Availability
Citroen has set the bar at £10,495 for prospective UK buyers, a fair price for such a unique vehicle. Those quick off the mark will be able to get their hands on these quadricycles as early as September this year. Prepare yourself for the adventurous ride that the My Ami Buggy II promises to deliver!
