Anyone fancy a CX? This guy has 148 of them, all for sale
Discussion
What a great collection, very odd and worthless today but nonetheless great!
Looks like they are kept nice and dry as well hopefully some will be saved in the future, these wacky old Citroen's deserve to be saved.
I've recently driven past a couple of UK houses with a collection of these in/around them, one was near Aldershot the other was in West London, strange how people turn their garden into scrap yards with these old relics they are 'saving' for the future. It is a testament to how special these cars were that a few people still hang onto them like this.

If I won the lotto that’s what they would find years later - but with knackered merc w124s.
Someone could rock up with 148 batteries and 148 cans of fresh petrol decades after you'd snuffed it and the Mercs would all just fire up and drive away. Something tells me those french cars will need work...TooMany2cvs said:
Well, km... 160k km = 100k miles, remember? And the newest CX saloon is 28yo.
A CX will take plenty of miles with ease.
I am aware that foreign motors register their distance in foreign measurements of distance, these cars are from an era when one hundred thousand miles was considered an achievement.A CX will take plenty of miles with ease.
There's a few showing over 300,000km as well, my point was if you were going to collect cars, would you not want ones that has covered less distance, be it in foreign or miles...

Weird how this happens. 18 months ago we had a collection of 130-odd Rovers for sale in Australia:https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

No, they aren't.My ol' CX GTi auto had 180k miles on it when I sold it, having put 70k on it in three years.
<whispers>...23mpg...<whimpers>
I used to know somebody with a late 70s 2400 C-matic Safari, with 400k on it. The cylinder head had never been off. Sure, you could stick your own head through some panels, but...
... made be chuckle at least.
