Hmmm, now unless a queue of people with cash turn up maybe he'd like an XM with an MOT Paul, swaps - as opposed to a CX without one! Thats assuming he's a Citroen nutter like us, rather than a sane normal person :D

In grey documented on here i just need to get a clutch fitted and swap the head gasket.

Currently reading 109k .. and beleved to be genuine.. but doesnt matter with a new clutch and head gasket..

With a full mot id be looking around 950 for her ...
Great work on that. Certainly worth considering seriously - although this coming week is pretty committed. Quick question - would it be possible (and not heretical) to fit a single spoke steering wheel?

I saw this on my phone as I waited for a train to take me back home after a good 7 hour lunch. Good restoration project and bodywork needed = run a mile! I like the idea of a CX but not as a runaround.

Right ho - that suits my timing as I am getting a business launched for the beginning of September.

It would suit me fine, especially with the single spoker.

I suspect the engine would be more usable too than the Xantia - although it looks great!

Charles,

I can recommend any Xantia as a good runabout...

I use one for that purpose although it is a V6...
