Citroen CX Athena For Sale
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 1:42 pm
Hi Guys,
I'm looking at having a bit of a clear out of cars. If you are interested in any of the Non Xms and BX that are in my signature below, please send me a PM for more details.
1980 Citroen CX Athena for sale. 2.0 Douvrin engine 5speed manual. Please note that the car is located in Northern Ireland. I wouldn’t hesitate in driving it anywhere. Transport to GB Mainland can be arranged. £1000 ONO.
I have owned this car from 2006, and am never going to get round to giving it the full restoration that it deserves and needs. This car has been very reliable and I have even taken it to France on holidays in the past.
The main history of the car is that is was bought new in August 1980 by the BBC who had it for 3 years. Then its next owner was a Citroen Car Club member who had the car until he sold it some time in 2004/5 where it made its way over here and I bought it in 2006.
In my ownership, I have done the following work:
All suspension corner spheres replaced - re-gassed last year along with accumulator and brake accumulator.
Rear arm bearings replaced in 2007
All tyres replaced. Oldest pair are from 2006 - other pair are from 2007
Timing belt (alternator and HP pump belts also) were replaced in 2006 - new water pump fitted last year
HT leads changed
New lower Ball joints
I have everything here that is required to carry out the body restoration.
Panels include a pair of flat arch front wings (Genuine Citroen if memory serves me correctly) They cost me almost as much as the car when I bought them.
4 used doors. From memory, the drivers door shell needs some repair, but the door skin is good.
Saloon Pattern sills - the car has been restored in the early 90's and someone has pop rivited on home made aluminium sill covers. They are functional, but a bit messy around the door jams where there is some corrosion.
Door bottom repair panels - selection of outer and inners - I can't remember how many they are and for which doors they are for, but they are there if you wanted to repair the original doors.
A pair of new genuine Citroen door mirrors
New Valeo Clutch kit
New steering track rods
New Genuine Citroen chrome roof gutter trims
Repair sections for the bottom corners of the windscreen surround. The passenger’s side has some rust on it. The panel was available and bought incase it was needed.
I even have the correct Bleu Regate paint and primer!
The interior is in good condition for its age. It is spotlessly clean, the driver’s seat has a split in the seat base material but I have the correct material to repair it. The top of the rear seat is intact and hasn't disintegrated like most of the nylon seat materials of 70's/80's cars!
The car does drive very well, just how a CX should, and with all the best classic series 1 features. The car is dry inside; the rear window was removed and bonded in 2 years ago. No Sunroof is also a huge plus! Along with a Vinyl head lining that won't sag like the cloth types.
The underside of the car is in very good condition with very little past welding, and none required to my knowledge. The Passengers side rear jacking point was welded for its MOT a couple of years ago. Underside was wax oiled before I got it and re treated shortly after I got it. The rear inner wheel arches are in very good condition, unlike many CXs.
MOT expired in August. A CV boot and track rod end are required. Will MOT on request.
This car is being sold as a restoration project, and not as a spares car. I will not sell the car without the panels or paint etc; so please don't ask. Other CX spares from a series 1 car I broke can be included with the car subject to agreement on price.
If you require any further information or pictures, please get in touch.
