Nope sorry, to my eyes it just looks old. I wish I could appreciate them like others do but I just never got them, I do realise they are seriously cool though.

Well they're of the now, according to Back To The Future 2 anyway (they used them as taxis in the 2015!

And yet, one could have appeared in the original film without being an anachronism.

Never driven one have you ? Laugh a minute with the suspension and push button brakes , CX's were just as comical . Pig ugly , nightmare to work on , bizarrely engineered but somehow brilliant .

Ok fair enough, I'm stretching it a little with modern to this day, what I will ay though is when I'm driving mine it gets so many looks ranging from laughing to gawping, young kids are the best as they haven't seen anything like it driving around :-) a young lad once asked me if I was a spy :-) (although surely a spy would drive something a bit more understated?)

Although just to counteract I did hear one 'youth' shout 'look at that c**t driving a boat!'

I've seen a good few with French plates driving up the motorways but they seem few and far between now. It is a shame because it is my dads favourite car, he has always regretted selling his 5th(I think) in the 80's and hasn't had one since. I'm determined to get one for him one day, mainly because I want to have a go in it!
