This is the one-of-a-kind 1976 Citroën Indecision, an avant-garde prototype that was built by a car artist/customized based in the United Kingdom named Andy Saunders. This peculiar machine was constructed in the year 1984 using a 1976 Citroën CX 2200 (chassis 05MC6017) as the basis, a model that was developed by the French automobile brand from 1974 until 1991. Saunders started the project in November of 1983 with the purchase of a £350 Citröen. The Indecision was then constructed almost entirely with steel, and Saunders used seven sheets of 8ft x 4ft 20-gauge steel hand-rolling the bodywork which was then fully seam-welded to framework made up of 18 four meter lengths of electrical conduit. When the car was completed, it was originally finished in a chameleon-like white pearl paint that featured hints of red, green, blue and yellow. The finished car was rewarded with a ‘Best In Show’ at the 1984 Devillbiss Show. Close examination would reveal four Perspex-covered Fiat 127 headlights, rear wheel arches from a Simca 1100, six taillights from Hillman Imps, seats from a 1939 Sunbeam Talbot, Alfasud side skirts turned upside down, and many more parts from various other cars. The doors on the Indecision were left unchanged from the original CX base car as was the hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system. Saunder’s used the Indecision as his personal car for approximately 2 years before it was then sold to a collector. After having appeared in numerous shows in Europe and Scandanavia, and appearing in multiple magazines, the car was unfortunately the victim of a flood in the late 1990s. Saunders yet again restored the car, but this time, in a brushed stainless steel finished with silver metal flake. The car was then renamed to become the “Indecision 2”, and was exhibited at the 2004 Goodwood Festival of Speed Concours. From 2006 until 2019, the car was part of a private collection, but in December of 2019 the refreshed Indecision 2 was auctioned off by @handhclassics for just £16,875.
