Hi Guys
Just bought a CX - thought you might like to see it.
It's a 1987 CX25 GTi Auto. with 115k on the clock.
It was stored from 1999 - 2010 and so is in pretty good condition. It's done 39 miles since 1999.
The previous owner replaced the 2 drivers side doors and boot lid as they were rotten - now some paintwork needed. The rest of the car is solid.
He also removed lots of trim ready for a respray, but then had to sell it. I'm refitting it as I want to use the car whlst it still has some MOT then I'll take it off the road over the winter & fix whatever's needed.
Just after getting the car I saw a photo of a CX with Alfa wheels - and had to have some !!
Hope you like it
John

Re: Newbie with a CX
Excellent, thanks for that John and welcome to the world of CX Ownership...
I recognise those panels...
Reason I say that is that the previous owner (James?) bought those doors and bootlid from my dad - small world is the CX world!
Looks smart with the Alfa Alloys.

Hi Citroening - this is like a jigsaw - I just took a look at the website in your profile & noticed the name Patrick Rugg - is that your Dad?
James told me about a guy called Patrick who was very helpful

Re: Newbie with a CX
You're quite correct John in that my dad is Patrick. (I'm Franklin, by the way).
