I can't help myself.. Citroen CX Prestige purchased!
Discussion
Having collected my mates CX, I had to have one.
ebay was scoured, and a LHD 2.4i Prestige (lwb) was found in Brighton.
A flight down to collect, and it wasp icked up with steam pouring out and a non charging alternator.
the steam was solved by tightening the coolant tank cap, as it was loose.
The alternator proved more troublesome and led to a breakdoen on the m25.
It arrived home on the back of a truck whilst we flew up.
the doors and wings are rotton but I have a full set of spares in the car
Anyway here are some pics!

that looks lovely!Good luck with yours. Keep us updated.
the Prestige is an odd one, with the estate dors and rear end, but saloon front and rear bodywork and a bezpoke extended roof.
Mad as a box of frogs but wonderful!

What's the deal with the dash ? What's the 2 yellow squares for ?
One's the speedo, one's the tacho...You're looking at the edge of a rotating drum - think of a lampshade - with the calibrations printed around the outside, illuminated from inside.
