Lancia Beta Montecarlo
Lamboghini Countach

My first thought was the Dolly Sprint - great minds think alike, huh Blarno!

OK, the last one's a bit of a joke. Oh alright, the last two. Or three.

Being pedantic and all that, but weren't the Peugeot 504 and Mk 2 Lotus Cortina from the 1960s?

Three Citroens out of a top five would be taking the piss, even for me.
Dr. Hfuhruhurr

True, I'm impressed you limited yourself to two - good choices as well!

Well, the SM was always going to be in there and, truth to tell, the GS was actually a far more innovative design, Birotor or not.
Dr. Hfuhruhurr

I would also find it hard to make a 70s list without an SM.

246 and 365 production commenced in 1968.
Nice Guy Eddie

I'm aware the 206 was built between 68-69 however I thought the 246 was built between 70-74. The 365 I can change to a 365 GTS/4 if that makes it legit.
