SUMMARY

The Citroen CX 25 GTi Turbo 2 is an idiosyncratic luxury French car with a defined sporting edge, and features several classic Citroen hallmarks including hydropneumatic suspension, a plush interior with generously padded seats, and the replacement of column stalks for the lights and wipers with ‘satellite’ controls mounted adjacent to the instrument cluster. This example has been restored at a reported cost of over €30,000, which included replacing several mechanical parts, performing a glass-out respray, and retrimming the interior. It would now make a natural addition to a wider collection of French classics as well as a comfortable and stylish retro daily driver or car-show companion.
