AKS400

It's related, but not directly - a 400 has a longer and taller body, but also heavier-duty running gear than a 250.

If you look at Acads, the High-Top Acad would have had the same 450kg payload as the normal Acad, despite the extra room.

Ah, but if you look back to the first few pages of this thread then you'll note the differences Viking has outlined between the AK 250 & the AZU 250!! AK 250 on an Ami 6 chassis & big spring cans..? all 250's are AZU, though, surely?!

whats the difference could I have a picture sorry for my ignorance

Sold by Citroen in small numbers for people like dry-cleaners and fashion houses, who needed to carry long but light stuff. IIRC, they had an Ami Super front anti-roll bar as standard. Can't think why...

So was a Dyane 400 the same as an Acadiane or some sort of in between the 400 and the Acadiane?



Or just the name used in some countries?

Dyane 400, or Dyane 6 400 sometimes, was what the Acadiane was called when it was first launched. Not sure when it changed to Acadiane, but quite quickly.

The weird thing about that though, Pete, is that it's a late (post '82-ish) badge. I know for certain that some "Acadianes" did come with old-type badges, so I presume the Dyane 400 moniker must have been continued for some markets.

think the badge dyane 400 was for the spanish market i found 1 in a scrap yard while on holiday in spain several years ago dont know if this helps just thought id mention it
