It is a fairly large event...I'm not sure on numbers but here's a picture to illustrate the CXs - I'm sure some others have got some "line-up" pictures of the XMs?

If you have a look in the background of this pic, you'll see the cars curve around in a circle shape around the middle of the field.

There's always a large variety of cars there...CX, XM, Xantia, GS, BX, Visa, C5, Picasso etc etc...

Thanks soooo much for posting the slide shows ! :)

So a really good turn out , nice to see the 504 ti, there , i remember my dad having on of them new back in 1979, quite a pokey motor if i remember, or it seemed fast, but then i was only 13 yrs old, my mum had a 7 seater 504 estate at the same time, i remember going to our local pug dealership, they bought them both at the same time, my dad was part xing a Datsun Laural , and me mum through in her Datsun 180b bluebird estate, ! those where the days :lol: :lol: , as i remember he didn't have the 504 long , but did chuck it in for a 505 sti saloon when it came out !! in the same year FUF 622V was the reg, but dout very much if it servived, as most of them didn't....

a really nice collection there last year, it will be so good to meet some of you and pick your brains ;)

CGOO is my dads Series 1 CX GTi Turbo. It's called CGOO due to the number plate! :)

Ok I might be bias but it's a special car...just turned 70,000 miles, leather interior, featured in Practical Classics Magazine and has never had any welding at all. The underneath is like new 8-) You've seen CGOO haven't you Robert?
