MOT 29/ 09/ 2025 Last serviced September 2024, has only done 2500 miles since then. The 3. 0 V6 HDI is a rare engine to find in the X7 model of the Citroen C5, only eclipsed by the 3. 0i Petrol that are essentially stardust.
This 240bhp unit along with the magic ride of the Hydractive suspension plus the big comfy seats genuinely makes the C5 a lovely place to eat up the miles with ease.
This particular vehicle has a lovely story behind it if you have ever experienced genuine love for a car yourself.
The original owner, an elderly Australian gentleman ordered a 2010 3. 0 V6 HDI Exclusive whilst living in his homeland, it was to be shipped to his local dealer, Allpike Citroen in Perth. Sadly there was an incident at sea and his C5 was lost, Citroen then ordered him another but for reasons unknown it had to be shipped to Sydney several months later. The owner decided that he'd get a train all the way across to Sydney and drive his new C5 the almost 4, 000km back home.
A few years later he decided to move out of Oz and to Europe and take his beloved RHD C5 with him, specifically a place called La Charite-Sur-Loire where he has had the vehicle serviced and stamped. While living there he done the 1, 000 mile round trip to London to see his Daughter several times before deciding to move to London permanently himself, once again the C5 come with and was officially imported to the UK. I have documentation for this etc.
Sadly not long after this he passed away and the car was left to his Daughter who has used it mainly as the family car but had it serviced in 2022, 2023 & 2024 of which I have invoices and some stamps in the service book.
I see this car and loved the story behind it, was planning on keeping it myself but needs must mean it must go for hopefully someone to cherish.
