**LITTLE RED TRACTOR SHITE * *.Kinkersaabs collection as they emerge and get cleaned

[5speedracer]

Are these basically pics of your pension pot ?

Much more interesting than the sheet of A4 I get.

[oldcars]

That dash is the best ever.

[mrcitroen]

Cracking collection I must say. Esp the GSA. Funnily my GS came from Banchory.

[Liggle]

So cool 

[The Moog]

That is a real thigh rubber... although not with man made fibres ... that would definitely give you a shock

ah, mr Crossan? I have dealt with him and his wife a few times over the years. I bought his G plate series  2 cx turbo in white.   he's a fine lad.

I must admit, if I had an Audioline radio fitted in a GS(A), I'd smash the display as well.

Yes indeed it was. I have known him for many years Via the CCC. It was offered to me at a very fair price, and most importantly it's a solid rot free car.

You will also k ow a good mate of mine who iwas visiting yesterday. Andy Burnett?

[somewhatfoolish]

Top shiteing with the GSA, but minus 10 AS points for it being a pallas and therefore luxury.

[kinkersaab]

It does have agreen vynil roof, so that must gakn me some extra poins back, i mean, a green roof, who the fuck specs a green roof?

[richbraith]

That GSA just wins everything.  

[DVee8]

Just WOW

[mk2_craig]

Fab! What's it like to drive?

[Bear]

Holy shit, that is the most beautiful GSA ever.

[kinkersaab]

Thanks for all the positive comments. . Its really good to drive, much faster and nicer to live with than the allegro, it does appear to have even cheaper grade plastics than the allegro too. . I love the body roll on corners, people coming in the oppoosite direction look alarmed, which makes you want to provoke more lean

 

As with all cars, the pics are flattering, but it is far better than i thought it might be, i wont do any cosmetics to it, its perfectly good enough and i see nothing likely to worsen if looked after its funny as i havent had a single spoke citroen for many many years, yet when i grt in and hold th wheel i expect power steering with self centring. It must remind my senses of a cx

[Dirk Diggler]

This truly is a thread of beauty; lovely collection

[mrcitroen]

Yes! I do know Andy. He is a real legend and top bloke. I really need to catch up with him as I know thinks have not been that good recently and I did not want to intrude.

 

Andy has sorted me out with many BX parts. He also done the inspection on my GS before I bought it.

[Split_Pin]

What a beautiful collection. I'm in love with the late XJ and the Citroen GSA is stunning.

 

Mr Citroen I saw your GS filling up last weekend at the Old Inns filing station near Cumbernauld. I'm going to say it was you as there can't be any other Gold GSs in the country! I nearly went straight over the roundabout nearby as I was craning my neck looking back. I also saw a blue GSA Pallas in the same area on drive it day a few weeks beforehand.

[quicksilver]

How have I never seen this thread before? What a fabulous collection but the GS is my favourite, it's like a peppermint biscuit with a green vinyl wrapper.

Yes, it was me. As it was nice at the weekend, I used it as the main runabout. I have heard of the blue GSA from another local car nut, but I have yet to see it. It has been spotted in Carrickstone and Kilsyth.

[Frogchod]

That GSA is just fapping great.

Must get pics of my old GSA up soon. (C-matic for extra AS points !)

Nothing more to add.... just posting for a bump really, the world needs to see more minty GSAs

[Asimo]

Liking the Lomax with it's appropriate wide front tyres - dvla say 1299cc - any more info? Massively more desirable than any Lotus 7 clone imho.

Yes, it is indeed 1299cc. It's the flat 4 from GSA. Its a very well engineered home brew made by the late Geat GlasgowCitroen expert Graham Harper.

[kinkersaab]

Dragged this out from its 2 year sleep.  Given it a spruce and will put it away again until its worth selling.

 

W plate 540 4.4 V8 with 6 speed manual box.

 

[Schaefft]

540i 6-speed! Sell it to me! Looks really clean, how many miles on it?

[kinkersaab]

130 ish...i think...  tis a rare old thing.

[Schaefft]

Too lazy to check, whats the production date?

[kinkersaab]

i have no idea

[Schaefft]

It would be quite interesting to know. Pre-9/98 V8 E39 still had M62 engines without Vanos, something a lot of people prefer as its one less system that can go wrong, without really losing any performance. You can check your VIN with this decoder, it'll give you extremely useful information about the options your car came with from the factory, and when exactly it rolled off the assembly line.

EDIT: Your's was registered in March 2000, which makes it a single-vanos 540i.
