Anyone bought a rare Citroen recently?

It was very bizarre to find out at the National Rally that our old CX, ... was also supplied new there too! AND, so was Tim's BX GT too!

I've owned four BXs supplied by them too.

...if you fancy an interesting read, have a look here - Link and Link.

According to Mike, this Oltcit is the only one in the UK, and there are two Axel's in Nigel's church, and another he hasn't heard about in ages.

So basically, all the cars sold in Romania and surrounding countries were called the Oltcit Club, and the cars sold in the Western Countries (except the UK!) were badged as the Citroen Axel - the last 'proper' Citroen.

This car in question was from Hungary, thus called an Oltcit Club.

Ah right I see, I think I have only ever seen one Axel and that was in France. Quite a rare thing, is this red one now yours?

Well I haven't physically got it yet but I've paid a deposit and he is delivering it in a couple of weeks time. Can I get it to the CX, XM and Xantia Rally though, that's the question?!
