Body Colour: Bleu Romantique

The Citroën CX was initially a huge success in Europe, with more than 132,000 being produced in 1978. Designed by Robert Opron, the CX drew upon its predecessor, the DS, by following its flowing lines and futuristic styling. The car was one of the most cutting edge cars of its time, combining the unique hydro-pneumatic self-levelling suspension, speed-adjustable power steering, and its unique interior design that did away with steering column stalks.

Suspension was mounted to sub frames fitted to the body through flexible mountings, this reduced road noise and improved the ride. Both petrol and diesel-powered models were available in various engine sizes including turbo-charged versions. The top-end sports model, was the CX GTi Turbo, launched in 1984, the GTi Turbo had 168 hp and a top-speed of 137 mph.

The Citroën CX offered here is a low ownership example of the very rare and highly collectable CX GTI Turbo Series I model. The vendor purchased the car in 2011 following the completion of a 5-year restoration by the former owner and CX Club Chairman. As a result of its thorough restoration this CX is described by the vendor as in 'pristine' condition. Since the restoration the car has been used regularly and well maintain no expense spared.

There are only 8 registered Turbo Series I CXs in the UK so this is a great opportunity to have a truly rare and unique car at an affordable price.
