@theOlliePickard Me too but presumably Lotus thought it didn't fit their 80s plans.

@GeorgeCochrane1 Next time we come here it will be with a properly futuristic car.

@HagertyUK Not quite the De Tomaso.

The more powerful 3.4-litre version joined the line-up in early 1957, and is recognisable by its cut-away rear spats. Its engine (also used in the Jaguar Mark VIII) developed 210bhp, making it one of the most desirable medium-sized sporting saloons of the day.

A rather unflattering picture of Signor Pininfarina took pride of place in the brochure. He was a friend of famous Argentinian racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio, who was also involved with bringing the Torino to production and cementing its reputation as Argentina's national car.

@wright_de @BenHooperHants The Rapier was very stylish.

Here's a couple more pages from the Dyane brochure showing some of the smaller incidental pictures, all drawn with great care and humour.

@andi36356 No the artist is not credited. They did other Citroën brochures too, like this 2CV one.

The Dyane was also pictured careering on an unmade road past a nonchalant farmer. The carefully-chosen text still strikes a chord with its reference to 'the sheer pleasure of driving an utterly simple car'.

Arguably the prettiest widely-available car to come out of the Eastern Bloc, the Škoda S110R coupé was described as 'the Complete Sportsman' in this early English-language brochure. The 62bhp 2+2 was said to combine 'the feel of pedigree and speed'. #carbrochure #Skoda
