Did a quick test drive, noise is noticeable less en more important, less sharp if you know what I mean.

Bit of story behind it but that comes later, I've sat 7 hours in the car to pick her up and now I'm gonna watch football and have a lager or two. Image

I always loved the shapes of the Ami...

So I got my beer and I'm watching the match with the laptop next to me :P

From 2CV.nl I picked up the news that there was an Cimos Ami for sale sitting around in BiH, and I just happen to be there on this moment. Last week I did a reckon in the environment but I couldn't find it, this week Rusty from 2CV.nl provided me a phone number so I could call them. Yesterday when I had time I called an I could pick it up today.
Price was around €850, bit pricey for such a rustbucket but this is not a normal Ami but a Cimos, and they are quite uncommon.

Some first impressions:

The outside is quite bad, especially on the left side and the roof section:

Also no mirror on the off-side, was that optional on the Ami?

Image

The interior was also quite 'lived', the only maintenance ever done to it was just to keep it running:

Image

The engine misses the battery but looks not that bad, but who knows what secrets may lay hidden under the bonnet:

It might be worth speaking to 2cvkeza, he is a real expert on these cars!

That rust on the gutters of the car is going to be nigh on impossible to repair really well. That's fine if you just want to smoke it around for a while looking down at heel. If you want to build a really nice example find another starting point.
