COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2
Discussion
Took my CX GTi out earlier....
...and a few miles away, discovered this:
There is a bit of a story behind this CX DTR T2; it was sold by its original owner, who lived in Whitley Bay, on eBay for £2k roundabout the end of 2015. Within weeks, it was on the website of Bradley James, the classic car dealer. Bradley James gave it a wash and a polish, repeated the previous owner's eBay description verbatim, and flogged it - after a few months - to its current owner for.....£5k! I reckon they saw him coming, so nice work if you can get it

Personally, these last of the line "quirky" Citroens were already showing signs of conformity compared to their forefathers. The nose and monumental front overhang just don't work for me. Interesting, different thing to own tho'

Funny how manufacturers have felt the need to put endless descriptive badges on cars, things like "turbo", "auto", "diesel", "ABS" as though they were selling points. Still wonder what 4-matic is on modern Mercs, sounds like 50's Americana.

4 Matic denotes it's 4 wheel drive.Personally, these last of the line "quirky" Citroens were already showing signs of conformity compared to their forefathers. The nose and monumental front overhang just don't work for me. Interesting, different thing to own tho'

They certainly were in the 1970s/80s, because such things weren't commonplace.Nowadays, these functions are taken for granted because virtually every car has them.

I remember when they launched them. They made a big thing of the Pininfarina styling and I believe they wanted to target the European market as well, so got plenty of coverage in the motoring press over here. But it didn't really happen. Nevertheless, it was a relatively handsome thing in comparison to 90% of the dross that Detroit was churning out at that time.
