Looks nice, the lean can be caused by a few things, all but one of which are very unlikely, if it has citroen droplinks that can be adjusted you can make them lean when one is longer than the other or if the arb's are bent or a strut is sticking or a pipe to a strut is totaly blocked, i have to admit though, ive never seen one lean like that, its something else :shock:

strange how a 92 car has a 94/95 badge on it though, seems like the seller is sorted though, its had a good vallet and the add is pretty well writen with all the detail that gets a car to sell well.

Very smart car!!

There's nothing to get concerned about - it's on uneven ground and sometimes you can get them to visually appear
to lean especially if they've sat for a while. Mine can do this 'trick' too!! If it was pictured on level concrete/tarmac
I'd say there's something awry but it it isn't and there isn't!!

The CJH series are nice Xm's - I own two of them (one is my 24v v6 s1) and missed out on another SEi a while back
and must confess being tempted by this a week back!!

Incidentally, this car is the same identical car visually to my 24v and 12v SEi pair too - if anyone has any panelwork
going spare in this colour, please for heaven's sake tell me!!! :o

FWIW, Citroen Car Club sticker in the nearside rear 1/4 window!
Srubs up nicely and the wheels look nice.

That panel's an easy swap Dean! From a S2 car onto a S1 car.... ;)
