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.

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 ]
