Early and extremely rare Citroen CX 2200 1975 Series I

This is a very special Citroen CX. It is historically significant being such an early example. and in such outstanding condition. It has attracted the attention of Classics Monthly. (7 page article). Classic Car Weekly. (test driven and reviewed by David Simister). and it features on the cover of a brand new hard-backed book by Lance Cole entitled 'Citroen The Complete Story).   The book is available for pre-order from Amazon:

The car comes with a stack of history. a long MOT and a number of months tax.   This is an incredibly reliable car which I use daily so the mileage will increase. but not by a great deal.   Lovely. period rotating drum instruments.
