Heya
No flickr page,
, but yes, a Citroen indeed! Very, um, unconventional approach to design!
The Citroën M35 was a coupé derived from the Ami 8, and equipped with a w4nkel (rotary) engine and an hydropneumatic suspension. The bodies were produced by Heuliez from 1969 to 1971.
The longitudinally mounted rotary engine had a nominal capacity of 995 cc delivering 49 bhp. According to factory figures the car had a performance roughly on a level with that of a Morris 1300.[1] The engine was supplied by a company formed in 1967 by NSU and Citroën called Comotor.
The M35 was an experimental vehicle and was not officially sold - rather it was supplied to loyal Citroën customers to get their comments on the usability of the design.

Shame, that is even uglier than their 2CV duckling! I'm not surprised they didn't put it into production...it could have been an embarassment!
I shall now try and find a car to stump you!
