quicksilver Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 A few highlights. I'm not a Citroenist but I am starting to see the appeal of spheres and LHM and DIRAVI and other odd French things.

richardmorris Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 That cx trd isn't what it seems. Trd wasn't sold in the U.K., it was called DTR and not badged with turbo bits( not turbo Ts on the front wings, bonnet or c pillars) , and according to the mot history check it's a petrol. Petrols also had metal door handles, and the diesels black plastic ones. That car is a petrol turbo, possibly with a new bootlid, or just a badge. Petrol turbos had the black plastic window surrounds, diesels had stainless with tape covering the vertical sections. Diesels have a single exhaust pipe, petrols two.

Trd wasn't sold in the U.K., it was called DTR and not badged as a turbo, and according to the mot history check it's a petrol.Weird. I knew about the DTR/TRD thing cos TRD sounds like turd so that badge obviously isn't original. According to the vehicle enquiry site it's a diesel and all the reg check sites say DTR. I'm sure DTR Turbo 2 is a thing as there was another one badged as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite intriguing really! The longest Cx badge by the way is the " cx 25 TRD turbo II Limousine" almost makes it all the way to the boot lock!

Heidel_Kakao Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have just been reminded Adam about your comment that an XM was Alex Moulton's favourite car and had to Google it. http://www.aronline.co.uk/news/alex-moultons-citroen-xm-for-sale/ It was for sale a few years back though a bit salty.

Wonder what happened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere else I've checked (DVLA, Cartell, Cazana) all say it's a diesel DTR. I'm starting to think it started out as a petrol and has been retrofitted with a diesel engine and TRD badge, or a DTR rebuilt into a petrol shell, or something like that.

barrett Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I sort of wish I'd been bothered to go to this now, looks alright. This is Moulton's last XM, spotted in sussex a few months ago. It's in safe hands. Heidel_Kakao and FakeConcern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfg Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 .Citroen aficionados, while you're here.. I wonder if any of you may know of an Ami-Super gearbox, sitting unloved under a bench somewhere, just waiting for someone who needs such a thing to come along. Perhaps you might ask around for me at any Citroen enthusiast club you attend.? I understand that this gearbox is the same as the Citroen GS1220 4-speed but that its main shaft is much shorter (for the Ami-Super) ? I'd be glad to find one sometime soon, as mine makes objectionable sounds ..reminiscent of a 1950's army school bus.
