Absolutely bloody awful. Give me a german barge any day of the week over this ugly, badly built monstrosity.
It might be at the more "interesting" end of the shed spectrum, but that doesn't make it any good...
And for anyone who asks "why don't more cars have rear wheel spats?", it's because, as proven here, they look dreadful.

You may well be correct in terms of driver appeal, running costs... etc, but it is still a good Shed. Part of the appeal of buying a shed should be to experience leftfield cars instead of just a cheap version of what everyone else already drives - I mean, if it was to go bang after a couple of months, what does it matter.Absolutely bloody awful.

These Citroens, for example, are getting rare and as a certified Petrolhead I think it's important to expereince these cars before it's too late (you can then sell it after 3 month for the same price you paid for it).
Call me a phillistine perhaps, but I see absolutely nothing appealing here that I would feel the urge to throw a bag of sand at.
Not my kind of shed, but each to their own. Seems to have been popular, which is a good thing.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH you guys giving me nightmares. I hated seeing these cars as a kid. True banger status, a clunker in its highest regard. These looked awful seeing them in the 80's they looked like something of another world. I HATED the flaps over the rear wheel. Ugly as hell, I guess this is also another reason why I do not like the current C6 as its styling seems to be based on this monstrosity.
This shed is a real dirty ole garden rotting garden shed in an allotment field.

My Dad had a Cx in the late seventies.I was only a nipper at the time but will never forget that car.It was to me at the time like a spaceship.It had electric windows which to a 5 year old where amazing.My Dad loved the car but had to sell as my Mum hated it as it was too large for her.Have always liked these and it looks like a great leftfield choice of shed.I reckon the values in these will start rising like the Ds in the not to distant future.

Thought SOTW rules required tax and MOT.... at £999 and tax at buyers cost, this puts it over SOTW's famed £1k mark....
Nice car though...
Yeah, I know... but what's the point of rules if you can't break them occasionally? Nice car though...
Edited ofr typos
They were awesome, my father had a CX Prestige for many years, very comfortable ride and not too slow either, the thing I remember the most was sleeping on the floor in the back one night as a hotel was overbooked, even the floor was plushly carpeted. A fine machine with wafty soft suspension of adjustable heightyness.
My only experience of these was as an impressionable teenager a friend's parents had one in GTi Estate format - they had a great dane as a pet and so the functionality of the estate met that dog lugging requirement. Had a few trips out in it and I was always in awe of the "frenchness" of it all
Rotating speedo and funky controls
Armchair seats
An amazing amount of grunt available with a squeeze of the louder pedal
My father had a Ford Cortina 1.6 MKIV 80 and that was a boring lump of dog dirt in comaprison and had all the charm of a STD. I wished he'd buy something inspirational!!!
