Old Citroens are all but gone out here :( As far as I know my CX is the only CX on the road in the immediate area, there is still a few old DS's, however I haven't seen one on the road (unless I"m driving it) for years :( GS's are gone.... even the BX's are gone (what a sad loss 8-) ).

Most of the cars I have need extensive restoration and have been sitting for many years. The CX wagon is the only CX 2200D wagon I know of in Australia. My father bought it abot 25years ago and it was the family car for many years when I was a kid. 2CV's were never sold here, my parents live in the UK for 12months back in the 1990's, my mother bought back that 2cv with her, my father imported the CX turbo ( that I now own... Series 2 CX's and CX turbos were never sold out here). The traction avant is my fathers car .... The old DS21ie, CX c-matic and early ID19 stuck up the back of the shed are mine, the ID19's hull needs considerable rust repair, the DS21 needs paint/retrim and all the work putting a car that hasn't been used for 20years entails. I really should get rid of all my cr@p and take my father DS23ie 5spd (that has factory air-con) and restore it for use ............................. Oneday, maybe when I retire in about 30years time :roll:

This is what I emptied of just that shelf I chucked in the shed up the back ..... You would have to be insane.... Where the hell did I get so much junk from ??? Everyone needs 4 DS fuel tanks spare when they don't even have a DS on the road right ??
