Well bugger me with a fishfork......... Citroen spotting content!!

[doubleyeller]

Came across this Citroen specialists

 

I was attracted initially to the C6 outside, not so many about, like!

Then I thought: "That van looks a bit shite, I wonder if he's got anything else?"

MOTHERLODE!!

GS

DS x2

CX Estate

BX estate

XM x 2

And a Xantia to cap it all

 

The business is owned and run by a friendly couple, and everything except one of the XM's is for sale "For the right money though........"

 

Beat that for a cluster spot!

Nice to see a marque specialist doing his thing still.   There used to be a Peugeot place like this near me, I considered buying a mate's 405 on the strength of it.

No, this is in Bradford. There was a guy selling lots of old Citroens in Keighley - R&D Motors, but it was a flash in the pan iirc. Don't know of one in Bingley, and I know Bingley almost street for street, so I'd be pleasantly surprised. However there is a white GSA in regular use around Bing Bong, so it's possible!

Wonder if that C15 is driveable.

Probably not, but it's not the only one there! Love the orange GS myself!

Ah, was thinking of the keighley one I guess, used to see regular cars for sale in autotrader etc and often tempted, but never got round to it! memory not as sharp as it used to be in my youth

 

Still fancy an XM, in auto big petrol flavour, but sensible head keeps over ruling heart

Top spotting. If there was a Pokemon Go version of Autoshite youd have a high score.

I love the way they've managed to mis-spell Citroen on the front of their own lorry...

I've seen that done before... and it was the fault of the company doing the grafix!

Ooooo c15. Very nice gs too. Wonder if a c15 could be bought for a spares van.

Hooo....leee...f*ck!

 

Ray Calvert's in Bradford. Wish this had been within visiting distance - that CX would have yielded a few useful spares.

 

OMG they have a website

Do it.  I had one for a short time, lovely car.  I think I may have recently mentioned that I like cars where you can sit back and waft along...

 

XM's have to be autos because you've only got two legs.

....XM's have to be autos because you've only got two legs.

 

If anything XM automatics are the ones you should avoid - the ZF 4HP18 gearbox was not one of ZF's finest products, and developed a reputation for failing. Post-1994 cars were supposedly better, but still.....

[HillmanImp]

Seen that GS oot and aboot.

 

 

Got another shot of it driving past Bingley train station that Mrs Imp got of it too somewhere too.

[Junkman]

Strictly anoracky speaking, it's a GSA.

I'm not usually a fan of autos, but I'd have to agree with you there. I never really managed to master the rather convoluted two-stage parking brake arrangement on my manual 2.5 TD... and there are a lotta junctions inconveniently sited on hills round my way. Lovely place to sit, though, and comfiest cruiser I've ever had the pleasure of piloting. Even though this example was pretty much shot, I suddenly 'got' why folk love big Cits...

 

[KruJoe]

That's not too far from home, and one we didn't know about, thank you. Googlings from the van signwriting shows it's here:
