In March 1969, the Ami 8 replaced the Ami 6, but shared the same twin-cylinder. In early 1973, Citroën added a second more powerful engine to the range: the flat-four borrowed from the GS, which boosted its power from 32 to 53 hp. The Ami Super, recognizable by the stripe on the upper part of the doors and the pattern on the grille, never sold well. This colour is called Meije White.
