Giving that no other car so far as I know is equipped with Mykunto wood trim, does anyone know the botanical name of the tree which provides the timber. Could it possibly be Maccasar Ebony - Click Here - Diospyros celebica by another name. Regards G PS, as the sales brochure uses quotation marks around "Mokunto", is it possible that this is a made up Citroen name |

It's actually the primary diet of the wild Nauga, which was hunted nearly to extinction in the 1970s to provide genuine Naugahyde upholstery for the American market. | ||

Right, from the various replies, c ynics and comics included I've come to the conclusion that Mokunto is a made up marketing name, possibly making sense to the French. So what reallly is the wood, my first punt is is still Maccasar ebony. Anybody else hazard a guess, or is in the trade and might actually know Regards G |

Sorry G but a 'Google' brings up a post of yours top of the list for 'Mokunto Wood' The only other references are related to C6 posts and comments elsewhere on the web that I can find. Maybe you need to contact Citroen UK Technical and ask them for the definitive answer BTW Mykunto brings up a nil result from Google, that doesn't happen often these days - Click Here - |

That's the problem with people mis-spelling words. Google is now indexing Mokunto, Mukonto and soon Mykunto, all for the same item ![]() |

Right I did a google search for Mokunto using google.fr the results aren't promising. I also searched Mykunto also is of little success. |
