    As a kid I spent time as a passenger in a CX2400 GTi. Amazing car in many ways. I particularly remember the brakes were hyper sensitive with almost no travel and the actual pedal sat lower than the clutch and the throttle. The dash of was of the earlier type which revolving barrel speedo and the indicators were operated on a rocker switch which I didn’t self cancel. The suspension gave an amazing ride but could be fooled on roads with undulations and the suspension in its attempt to compensate would jack up the rear and lower the front. One of the big marketing points used at the time was the fact that you could have a high speed blowout in this car and the suspension would instantly compensate and the car would retain perfect composure.

      In the early nineties,I was driving to Cherbourg in my DAF 19 t truck ,working for Brittany Ferries,I had a Cx cut across the front of me to catch the exit on my right,I was already approaching,I thought he was going to roll,but No ,of course The Citroen held its course.Amazing cars.

      The CX GTI Turbo never had a revolving barrel speedo. (Like all sporty versions of Citroen). It had standard speedo with rev counter. Ooops.

    Jonny Smith will be wanting words Sheldon stepping on his Barn Find toes!!! 😂😂 Do love a big wafty Citroën though!!! 😃😃
    2:34 And TRX Michelin tyres which are Metric so same type (ie metric measurement (diameter)) as the mk2 Granada, Metros and BMW 535i. Bloody expensive as only Michelin make them and not very often and a set for a Granada is £3000!!! No idea if you can get other Citroën wheels for a CX that aren't metric but at least for mk2 Grannys you can run later spec rims.

    I drove a brand new one of these back in 1985, CX GTi Turbo, it was black in colour. I picked it up from Citroen in Slough and drove it back into London along the M4, I gave it a bit of welly to see how fast it would go, at 140 mph I decided that would be fast enough for now, but it did want to keep going, no speed cameras back then. 😇

      I own (and have bought /saved) several of these over the years.
      Don't know if you've tackled trying to start this yet or not, but unless attacked by mice, the electrics will most likely be just fine for starting - the bad rep is very undeserved, so don't waste loads of time checking through stuff first, ime.
      If it doesn't start, most people will point you at the crank sensors (it's an early car so has two) and the 'big blue' efi relay as being the cause.
      Don't go digging straight into them unnecessarily just because you're told 'they're always faulty'.
      If the fuel pump runs, big blue is basically fine (NB there are actually several relays associated with the injection system as well - it's not all down to Big Blue).
      If you have spark, the crank sensors and ignition system are fine - don't bother wasting time digging into it further.
      People will also point to the AFM - but again, ignore that, they basically never fail.
      Assuming the fuel pump runs and you have spark, then the most likely cause is stuck injectors - and they will usually free up quite quickly just with some really good whacks from a solid/weighty screwdriver direct or ratchet wrench handle, straight onto their bodies (you can get at them from the front, through between the inlet manifold runners) while cranking.
      NB: if you bypass the injection system controlling the fuel pump (eg by putting a 12v feed directly onto it) then it will start and run, but the idle will climb and cut, climb and cut - the injection ECU knows you've bypassed it and gets pissed off.
      By the way, if the hydraulic system is intact, the suspension will actually pump up enough on the starter motor alone - doesn't need the engine running (if the accumulator sphere is very low on gas blown though, it will take far too long to do just off the starter - you'll likely just kill it).

    Hi 👋 i live in New Zealand. Last year i was walking past a car garage and a Citroen CX was parked outside the garage. I went in and asked a mechanic about it. He told me it is to be restored. It wasnt in such a good shape. A 1977 model. I recently returned to the garage to see the car but it wasnt there and the garage wasnt open. A very rare car nowadays.

    What a beautiful collection. Those cars are worth quite a lot of money in good condition in Europe. Too bad they are so incredibly bad. The yellow Alfa is a 1750 by the way.
    I also had a CX Turbo like that myself. It is an intermediate model, only made for 1 or 2 years and forms a bridge between the chrome bumper and plastic bumper CX. This has chrome bumpers, in car color and the new type of dashboard. The Michelin tires are standard and metric. Extremely expensive, by the way. I hope the car can be saved because it looks pretty bad.

    Your knowledge of the Citroen CX is very deficient. The CX Turbo was always with a manual 5-speed gearbox, if you want automatic you have to buy a GTI without a turbo. The CX Turbo is not a rare car, there are many for sale all over Europe. The hydraulics are driven by a mechanical pump, so you can't know if it works until the engine is running. The CX shown may be good for spare parts. The aluminum wheels (Note the T' in the rims) are very desirable.

    As much as I like the Alfas, give me the Cx 25 gti turbo anyday of the week. PLEASE SAVE ALL THOSE CARS, especially the CX. The Cx 25 gti turbo is a beast! would put a period beemer or merc to shame... That car must have been there for a long time... such a waste of a great vehicle! 84k miles... engine is brand new! those clock up hundreds of thousands of miles effortlessly when maintained. It must have had a very short life on the road. How could anyone sit a car like this?! I have the 25 gti (same engine, without turbo) that is now pushing 40. I have no issues. It runs great! engine is an ox, even the dreaded hydraulics are leak free and sound. All it needs is being driven frequently and basic maintenance. I'm confident my Cx will be around for another 20 years easily, if cared for just like any other car.
    It's the best car I've had, hands down. It just flies above bumps, poor road surface with such composure.Mindblowing! The DIRAVI steering and suspension run rings round most modern cars! I generally overtake and shake off modern traffic when the going gets tough (strong winds, rain, bad roads... Cx just irons it all out)

    But lets be honest, none of these cars are worth saving, they are all too far gone.
    Opening the door of the first Alpha, and saying "look at that the interior is in amazing condition", when half of it is missing, is clickbait matey.
    The dash looks like it could be saved, and the steering wheel, but where are the door cards ?
    Parts donor cars all of them, if the body panels are so rusty they fall off when you so much as breath on them, what do you think the chassis and underneath is going to be like ffs.
    The CX looks to be the best of the bunch but underneath it is pretty bad, and with all the body damage not to mention rust, the shell is too far gone for economic repair.
    If somebody loved it enough to spend 30 grand on it, when it's probably worth 10 to 15 in mint condition, then more fool them I suppose.

    Ik begrijp het ‘O’ en ‘Wauw’ niet, allemaal over de top, er is niets om blij van te worden. Twee auto’s van merken waarvan je weet dat het bagger is… 😖

    What a piece of junk , what is the point of spending time digging it out , best place is to get £150 for scrap for it, I’ve no doubt they may get the engine running , sell the front & rear window screen and maybe light clusters , “ not that bad “are you taking the piss “ get a screw driver and give it a poke it will fall to,pieces , why would you want to wash that piece of junk ? At least Johnny’s cars are worth washing .

      The shell (and sadly the doors/bonnet - all much wanted) on the CX certainly is beyond worth saving, but there are *plenty* of bits on it worth having, not just the small number of things you mentioned.

    Why buying & keeping valuable cars then letting them turn into iron dust... It's not financially savvy & it's certainly not by love for the poor things... Else, a climate controlled plastic bubble that doesn't cost much would be used (ROI done in 1 year of depreciation if left to rot).🫠
    I'd be surprised if it could be restored at all but good luck.
