What was its 0-20mph time ? :lol:

Roughly 2 seconds, it would even wheel spin in 2nd gear! It turns out it had 5 new engines before I had it, I killed it so it needed a 6th engine. It turns out it left the factory with an overfueling fault with the ECU!! What a demon she was!!

This is one car that evaded me, I sourced one for a client in Lincolnshire and I had the pleasure of collecting it from the dealer in Chelsea and driving it up to the client's house on a warm sunny June day and it was truly Graduate style epic!! Sadly well beyond my budget nowadays :-D

I never had a drophead but I did for a time have a Giulia and a Giulietta and I sold an Alfa 6 to an Italian guy from the next village up the road.

That Scimitar is getting equal love and hate from me:

Lovely car, but with only 16,000 miles, its a shame to put more miles on it! I hope not ever to get stuck with a "too nice to use" :)

You have to read the whole ad Matt, it's actually done 20k+ cos it had a documented speedo change at 4k. Still I wouldn't worry about that if I had it, I'd just enjoy it!! :-D

A rather lovely AX GT but wayyyyyyy out of my league... And not at the height of desire for me as it's a Series 2. Now, if it was a Series 1 ;)

Here's a Series 1 Citroen Jim, but I have a feeling it's too big, too expensive and it's a wrong'un but apart from those minor issues what a terrific car to have! :-D

Citroen CX, the only car I've ever been stuck at the roadside with. A couple of the hydraulic metal pipes across the front crossmember rubbed together and let all the fluid out, had to get it suspended towed home.
