Hello , newbie here , not new to French cars , owned one or two.
However a chance meet in Bridge of Allan at the classic car meet had me looking for a Citroen Cx like my dad used to own when i was a mere 11 years old. A metallic blue Citroen Cx Reflex.
Loved that car , it had its niggles. You remember the good times though and forget the dodgier ones.
Anyway , watch this space.......

Hi Traffman Welcome to the forum
I ran CXs for about 10 years and still think they were the best hydropnumatic apart from the DS. they were superb to drive due to the central steering knuckles and diravi steering, they had the best diesel engines available at the time and a huge interior not to mention the superb ride. I used the estates for work for many years doing about 30k miles per year , the last one I did about 160k in.
