I can't help myself.. Citroen CX Prestige purchased!

[jonesof63]

Sir you have the gonads of a huge bullock ! This thread makes me so tempted to grow a thick beard and buy such a vehicle, engine access alone is enough to drive a man insane ! Love it….

[jogger1976]

I salute you sir! You have bought a comfy Gallic barge that has the required level of eyeball-swiveling lunacy to make it a "proper" Citroen. Top stuff.

[RemyMartin]

fking magnificent

thanks chaps

the engine access is no problem and fairly conventional-just everything else that is all unusual..

[320touring]

It sits awaiting its fate...

At least your suspension seems to be holding pressure.

yup, will even do high

Just dropping in to offer congratulations. That LWB spec adds delightfully to the torpedo-y shape.

We were promised a future of flying cars and atomic motors... And Citroen seemingly delivered it, what with this visionary design.

agreed! also astonished how perfect the dash layout works-superb when compared to the crap in the 208 I drove the other week

Major progress in getting this somewhere I can work on it



She started no bother, and drove herself right up onto the trailer. Handbrake works too it appears



Half an hr down the road and she was sleeping next to another white BMW.



got a few days off shortly so hopefully see some progress!

I don't believe you! CX handbrakes NEVER work for more than two days after any MOT.

Huge respect for an excellent left field purchase. Their time to become a seriously desirable classic must surely be nigh.

cheers!we'll see how she comes together - I'm minded to get her running and use her as a comfortable mile muncher

[SVX]

Hat's off to the OP - they're wonderfully eccentric. I always wished I'd pulled the trigger on a CX Turbo 2 that I was offered in the mid-nineties. Hope you can restore her

I keep reading with a smile.

My old man was addicted to these silly french cars with their go go gadget legs, I could never understand them as a kid and looking back I cant understand his love for them now because he was (still is) hopeless at anything car related and they were always going wrong!

We had a GSA, about 3 BX's and 2 Xantias. Never the big spaceship XM I wanted as a kid though

I remember the GSA mainly due to the fact I filled the upturned cassette deck with space raiders when I was about 6

Strangely I have a massive itch for one of the above now, odd eh?

[320touring]

Looks like it is comfortable in the new abode..

I am grinning. Love that!

It makes so much sense when you use it that it is scary!

These are the best threads around. I loved the optimism that you were going to drive it 500 miles home

I used to be young and foolish, now, in my mid 30s I'm just foolish;)
