I know nothing about this era Civic, but £22,500 seems seriously overpriced to me!

"250bhp" N/A B18 but no pictures of the engine?
Nearly £23k for a partially registered, half-finished project?

Sign me up

The item description is hilarious. Starts with a moan about how many people have messaged him about the price, and says ignore the price, make me an offer instead. What a prat!

Yes, lovely!

My father had a couple of CX’s in the 80’s. A Pallas and a Turbo. Both were fabulous cars.

On the surface that looks to be in great condition, and the price isn’t crazy given how few are still around.

My dad had a series of Citröens back in the day, Including a couple of CXs. Lovely things. Superb floaty ride (though could make passengers a bit car sick). Futuristic instruments. Their brakes were unusual - almost no pedal travel and hugely servoed. Absolutely great if you were used to the car but, on your first drive, you'd almost stand the car on its nose at the first braking point.

Ok so only 79 miles, but £20k for Bedford Astravan!

Unless they can find someone who is extremely wealthy and just happens to have a private collection or museum of the dullest automobiles ever created I think this might be hanging around for quite some time.

That van has been for sale for at least a year, probably more. Can't think why it hasn't sold

I'll never understand why things like this exceed their original price. It's hardly an appreciating object is it? Pure greed.

Use that over a couple of years the underside will sure know about it, the odometer will read 15k miles and the same dealer will give you £1k cash trade, completely wiping any value it supposedly had.

Amazingly pointless exercise.

It's like a new scam that no one talks about.

It’s worth what someone is willing to pay for it...

Given that nobody has coughed up...

How is it a scam..? someone's asking a price for something they own..! It's the choice of the buyer if they want to pay that price.. it may not sell.. but we'res the scam..?

What’s to say this isn’t a 5k car? I wonder what WeBuyAny car would offer
