From Pallas to Batmobile: The Unconventional Saga of Indecision 2

ONE-OFF - Such an inevitability by appreciating the passion of car modification enthusiasts is not an overstatement, especially when witnessing the remarkable transformation of a 1976 Citroën CX into an extraordinary futuristic vehicle reminiscent of the classic Batmobile. This incredible creation, known as the Indecision 2, captivated car enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Originally rebuilt in 1984 by Andy Saunders, the Indecision 2 boasted a unique and unconventional design that earned it the prestigious Best Car award at the Devilbiss Show in the same year. Its appearance at the auction held by H&H Classic in 2019 generated significant interest, as it resembled a vehicle straight out of an old sci-fi movie.
An outstanding characteristic of the Indecision 2 was its one-of-a-kind custom bodywork, meticulously crafted from a combination of metals and other easily processed materials instead of fiberglass. (Picture from: Silodrome)
In its early days, the Indecision 2 started as a 1976 Citroën CX Pallas—a marvel of French engineering between 1974 and 1991, equipped with a pioneering self-adjusting hydraulic suspension system. This innovative technology was also adopted by renowned British luxury vehicles like Rolls Royce. Furthermore, the car featured an engine resulting from the evolution of a rotary engine design, ultimately leading to Citroën's acquisition by Peugeot.

Drawing inspiration from the bold car designs of the 70s and 80s, the car's most eye-catching feature was its sizable rear flipper. Initially painted in red and white, the vehicle underwent modifications that adorned it with sequined silver trim.

The open-top chromed steel design steering wheel added a touch of elegance to the overall aesthetic. Remarkably, the instrument panel remained in its original form, preserving the essence of its vintage heritage.
Over the years, the Indecision 2 made sporadic appearances, most notably at the 2004 Goodwood Speed Concours Festival. In 2019, the car entered the auction at H&H Classics, where it was on the list with an estimated price ranging between £16,000 and £20,000. Eventually, the gavel fell, and it was sold for £16,875 (approximately Rp. 298,830 million). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SILODROME | HANDANDH ]
