La finition intérieure, comme sur les précédents breaks Heuliez portant l'appellation "Buffalo", consiste en un élégant et raffiné mélange de cuir de buffle rouge, et de tissus en laine de cachemire.

Awesome; buffalo hide seats with cashmere inserts. Were they made from buffalo who died in the filming of Dances with Wolves?

It was pointed out on clubxm that the xm's are in fact V6 Turbo's!

My wallets had a heart attack.....................

i think i may start replying to the countless emails offering tens of millions of dollars!!!
some of thoase cars are stunning,
bx 4tc, 405&406 superturisme, zx drop top, xm limo's, wouldnt mind the Riva either!!!

[Citroening]

It'll be interesting to see what they fetch (if they publish final results) as most of them are No Reserve...

The 4TC will definitely make good money...they always do when they rarely come up and it's not just any ol' 4TC with it being Black and it having covered that small mileage...

However I wonder what the other's will make as I must admit the estimates are rather high. Almost impossible to put a figure on those cars as there's nothing to base them on.

Will someone really value that Xantia Buffalo at 15 000 - 25 000 Euros? That ZX Convertible at 20 000 - 40 000 Euros? The BX Dyana at 20 000 - 30 000 Euros? The BX Family Wagon at 10 000 - 15 000 Euros? Probably a very wealthy collector will buy them - I wonder if any will come to the UK's shores?

[CitroJim]

That Xantia Buffalo appears to have a 2.1TD engine..

Nice... I'd like that one... Not sure about the seats though...

[andmcit]

As it is currently, the Buffalo is undriveable in the UK!

Nothwithstanding the fact that any mileage beyond the 3 km covered already will render
the seat covering useless it has a more significant problem with coping on UK roads and
it's nothing to do with it being something you really wouldn't want to be seen driving!!

There's no driver's wiper blade!!

30k Euros Seems a lot to bid for a unique untested drivetrain in a car you daren't sit in
with an aethetically dodgy questionable two tone paint job and that hideous grille!

The SM Espace is gorgeous but they don't show it with the electrical blinds working for
some odd reason - it's whole raison d'etre could be all based on a promise that doesn't
materialise - after all, we are talking 70's French electrics on a Citroen...

Just got back from the LeMans Classic last night. There and back in an original, unrestored Lotus Elite and she never missed a beat.

The Xantia 4x4 looked fab and only had 2km on the clock although a post-it note said it had no code!

It achieved 8,000 euros at the sale so those figures must include commission and tax.

Got loads of pics on my iPhone. When I've recovered I'll try and post them. (May need help!)

That 4tc went for 30k! there is one on car and classic but they want over 100k euro for that which is a bit steep.
Although the 4tc is an interesting car the front end does look like its been glued on by a 5 year old which is a shame.

That one on Car and Classic has been there for yonks - it's big money because it's an EVO, however has got bits missing IIRC. IIRC there's only around 6 Evo/Works cars left and there were just 20 Evos built.

This Black one was just a "standard" 4TC (1 of 200 made) and thus a lesser price - still 'cheap' though as there's on for sale in Spain done 56,000 KMs which is around 40,000 Euros...

Here's some in action:
