The Appeal
The Citroën CX is rightly celebrated as one of the most innovative and distinctive cars of the 1970s. With its aerodynamic wedge profile, revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension, and futuristic single-spoke steering wheel, the CX represented the pinnacle of French automotive design and engineering. It was named European Car of the Year in 1975, and its self-levelling suspension system remains legendary for delivering what many consider to be the smoothest ride of any production car.
This 1976 CX 2000 Super is a genuinely original example that has been imported from France and correctly registered in the UK. Its completely original condition makes it a rare find in today's market, where so many classics have been modified or restored. The car wears its age honestly, with period-correct patina throughout, and has been used as a display vehicle for approximately one year, where it consistently attracted interest.
Importantly, this CX has benefited from significant recent investment, with thousands of pounds reportedly spent on the suspension system and clutch restoration, as well as re-commissioning work to ensure roadworthiness. The vendor reports that it was recently driven 90 miles in mixed conditions, including 70mph motorway driving, with no problems. The famous hydropneumatic suspension reportedly works as it should, pumping up correctly and lifting the car to its drive position shortly after start-up.
As a registered historic vehicle, this Citroën requires no road tax or MOT, making it a practical proposition for enthusiasts. With extensive receipts documenting the work carried out and a fair amount of UK service history, this is an opportunity to acquire a rare and authentic CX 2000 that truly embodies the innovation and flair for which Citroën became famous.IMG_8480.jpeg1.11 MB
