Yugoslavian built GS/GA

The GS was built under license in Slovenia for some time. The GS as itself and the GSA was called GA. Although I know little about these cars, I'll try tell as much as I know underneath. More information about these 'licensed cars' is very welcome!

Slovenian GS

In the 1970s the Tomos company in Slovenia started to build Citroëns under license. The Tomos Company is known for the mopeds they build. The Citroën models that were built are the 2CV, Ami and the GS. Although the cars where 100% Citroën, they are named 'Tomos' and later on 'Cimos'. It seems that the GSs built in Slovenia were not as well equipped as the 'normal' GSs. I don't know anything about the production dates and numbers of the car. Some GSs from Slovenia had quad headlights, see the picture above. The GSA was named 'GA' in Slovenia.

The following GS/GA models where built by Tomos/Cimos in Slovenia:

• GS club 1.0 1971-1975 also break (conventional lights)

• GS pallas 1.1/1.2 1974-1980 1.2 also break (conventional lights)

• GS super 1.3 1977-1981 also break (quad headlights)

• GSX 1.3 1978-1981 (quad headlights)

• GA 1.3 club 1981-1985 also break (conventional lights)

• GA X3 1.3 1981-1986 (conventional lights)

Although most of the cars had campus beige as colour, the following colours where also available: citroen yellow, marine blue, inferno red, orange and moonlight black. And for the pallas: metallic blue and metallic green. The engines used in the Tomos/Cimos where the same as the engines in GSs from France. The 1.0 engine was the 1015cc, the 1.2 the 1222cc and the 1.3 the 1299cc engine.
