Description:

Maurice Pezous was a French aeronautics engineer, a racing fan, and a Citroën enthusiast. In 1952, he began designing cars based on Citroën drivetrains, and in 1965 he began designing oneseater race cars. A good performance at the 24 Hours of le Mans in 1966 caught the attention of Citroën and, in 1968, with 20 M.E.P.s, Citroën announced a special race series called "Formule Bleue." The goal was to create a competition for young talented autosport enthusiasts at a low cost. The series grew quickly due to the  big bonuses offered by the sponsors–Citroën, Michelin, and Total. The car on sale is a M.E.P. X27. It is equipped with a tuned Citroën GS engine. The light weight (865 pounds) allows for a top speed of 130 m.p.h. The "Formule Bleue" competition ran until 1975.

Chassis 60 has been restored with incredible attention for detail and originality by a renowned Citroen collector of The Netherlands and only raced once at the Le Mans Bugatti circuit.  The engine has less than 1 hour on the clock. Arguably the best MEP X27 for sale.
