Never heard of one of these before, must be worth having for the rarity value alone. Looks quite 'Chinese-ish' so made under licence or something?

"Selling for less than purchase cost as i need to move it to get my own bike out".

That must be a first, selling something for less that you bought it for.

Oh, I think it might have happened before... :)

I knew someone who was in has-been 70s one-hit wonder band 'Kenny' who had one of these. 

I pity the fool.

I have this absolutely crazy idea, right.

Why doesn't the seller... I can't, this is too crazy.

Why doesn't the seller, like... why doesn't the seller swap the bikes around so the other bike is easier to get out and this one is at the back of the shed?

 

I know. It's completely insane.

The engine light is on because of the LPG system, doesn't affect the car at all. It's been through three MOT's like that.

Occasionally the air susp light comes on, the suspension works perfectly tho', sits at the right height - it'll just be a sensitive sensor, the car needs to be used more than i do too...

The MOT is now due, it think it needs some of the usual rubber lower suspension bushes replaced at the back and the rear reg plate lights replaced - i have a s/h set of these lights ready for fitting. . all tyres are good.

On a scale of 1-10 how explodey is the Northstar?

8/10 I would say. Only 2 of 4 I own have serious issues, one I have no clue since I never heard it running.

Lot of work involved, but surely £450 is a bit of a bargain?

You can get one that doesn't require thousands in paint work for less than a grand more, all the time!

Legend has it they can run on no coolant, but that is probably bolex.

A doomed, over-complex, green-blooded Citroen project. But ignore the C6 in the background and get a load of this CX.

Then search the autoshite archives for @Junkman’s terrifying tales of international newspaper running in them.
