When I was shooting those cars a couple of years ago the first car was a
Citro?n. Coincidently always my whole life my favorite car. But now we have
the internet and the first thing I saw when I looked it up was that it was
designed with very specific parameters.
It was designed so a French farmer could take a sack of potatoes to market.
Not a real challenging concept but remember Battle of Agincourt. They 've
got them out numbered 100 to 1 but they get stuck in the mud and loose..
Of course the Maserati engine came in a later version. It was designed for
taking a supermodel to a runway show. And she could bring a friend.
