Highlights

A great example of a car encapsulating Citroen’s quirky yet forward-thinking history
Excellent mechanical bill of health
Rare specification for a Citroen C6

The Appeal

A technologically advanced car for its age, the Citroen C6 originally launched back in 2005 with a cabin full of the latest luxuries in the automotive industry. Heads’ up display, lane departure warning and Citroen’s innovative Hydractive suspension all featured on the options list with the aim of taking on the Germans in the luxury saloon market.

Thanks to the trick suspension, journalists compared the Citroen’s driving experience to a spaceship, while Top Gear famously used the car to smoothly film horse racing at Towcester Racecourse. For motorway driving, there is very little that can compete with the Citroen C6 making it a very special, and desirable model to own.

This car has been very well looked after and presents itself beautifully. A few minor blemishes are certainly not enough to take away from its excellent mechanical condition and out-of-the-ordinary visual specification.
