Hi folks,
for those who might wonder what the Citroen Horst S Edition Duisburg is:
Horst Schimanski was an investigator on the German crime show „Tatort“ (which translates to,“crime scene“). He was protrayed by the rather well-known German actor Götz George (son of Heinrich George, who. was also an actor) in a rather… unusual? …drastic? way in that he cursed, there was nudity involved (as well as car chases), and Mr George was (he passed away recently) imho a really, really good actor who got this investigator nailed perfectly, even creating a fashion fad, the Schimanski coat, back in the day.
Schimanski was based in Duisburd, a Ruhrgebiet city, and the decay and falling apart of what was a former industrial city played a major part in the Schimanski scripts.
Oh yes, and Horst Schimanski didn‘t drive a fancy BMW or Mercedes like most other investigators on German TV did back in the day, but a Citroen, which did add to his blue collar credibility.
Only available in German, sorry.
@tom-sommer, thanks for the background!

@tom-sommerThanks for excellent background on the German TV series.
The CX GTI looks very close to the old Neo casting...
By the way, very happy that Matrix announced a new recolor of their Daimler Double Six Vanden Las Series 1...
