What a find!!! :shock: An auto turbo diesel with 12 months MOT and a free leather interior out of a very rare v6 estate which is sadly nackered. The series one I had is in Ireland by now. Sad loss. :lol:

Where did you find that? I didn't see it for sale. Is it an Auto or manual? Any more pics?

Looks good. Who in Ireland bought your old car?

Overall that looks very tidy, just a little bit of rust on the o/s rear arch. It has previously been sold by Paul Johnson so is likely to have had a good going over.

The series 1 I bought off ebay went to some chap in Galway.Picked him up from Liverpool Airport etc. Not long after I bought the series one and did my job down south I found out that some one I worked with's dad had a series 2 auto diesel that he didn't use as he has upgraded to a C5 estate. Had an amazing afternoon. A real Citroen enthusiast. Mint GS on a ramp and an old 1949 Citroen waiting to be restored in one garage.. Its not grim up north.

Very nice car, its what I've been looking for - except for the 'auto' bit.

Yes I quite agree Peter but beggars cant be choosers. I will regret selling the series 1 manual as it did exactly what I bought it for and more.

I will put more pictures up when I get the car. Its going for its MOT next week. It has cloth interior in at the moment not for long though. Just love the alloys on it. Mileage is a well looked after 138000. It wasnt advertised as he wasnt going to sell it. I just got lucky.

Whats she like underneath?? I hear a lot of later S2 cars can be quite poor body wise, and stut tops too..

Looks very nice on top though, and an R plater too, should most defenatly have anti sink on her.
