That would be a very useful source of spares including the PAS as you say. However it requires a) transporting and b) a house with enough space to take it to pieces. Neither of which I have at the moment. Annoying. 

Another unit next to Maestro if available/not stupidly expensive?

The head lining on that Montego looks like my best 'going out' undies.

Is that beige denim seat fabric? Unbelievably cool. 

Anyway back at Citroen R&D, 1973:

"Where shall we put the heater controls?" 

"By the driver's arse" 

"What about in the centre console?" 

"No, we've already put an empty box there" 

Citroen rectified that with the series 2 which put the heater controls in plain site on the centre console, and the radio vertically between the seats.

It might seem odd nowadays, but other cars had heater controls down between the seats back then. Air-cooled Fiats and VWs for example. Even the radio between the seats is not as daft as may be first thought: with just 5 or 6 pre-sets and volume control, you really don’t need to look at what you are doing.

Compared to the ergonomic disaster of Tesla’s touch-screen-for-everything, the CX is ergonomically utterly brilliant.

A shaftdrive moped? Yamaha were obviously experimenting with mind altering substances at the time.

Oooh a crashed, well past it example of a car that’s been unsuitably stored forever and needs everything at 7x the value of the finished product? It would take an absolute madman to take pity on the car and get it back on the road?
This is right up my street then, good thing it’s across the continent.

Dunno if this has been mentioned but when copy and pasting links to ebay items, you can delete anything after the item number, starting with the question mark that is the first character after the item number.
