The Citroen CX

I bought a 1985 Citroen CX 25 GTi from a couple in Los Angeles who also has an SM, a Traction Avant, an ID19, and a DS23.  The CX is a very unique car! When it was first introduced in 1974, it was a very technically advanced car. My particular CX has:

• 2.5 liter petrol 4 cylinder engine - 138hp - These engines are known known for their durability. It is not uncommon for them to go over 300,000 miles without the need for a rebuild.
• Completely self centering hydraulic powered DIRAVI steering with a single spoke steering wheel.
• Completely powered brakes (no brake pedal travel....the brake "pedal" works off foot-pressure which then applies proportial hydraulic pressure to the front 4 piston calipers and rear 2 piston calipers
• Hydro-pneumatic suspension (4 nitrogen/LHM spheres at 2100 psi replace springs and shocks)
• Wheels remain completely perpendicular with respect to the road throughout entire range of wheel travel
• Rotating bathroom-scale type drums for instruments
• Front airdam: this was quite rare in 1974 for a passenger car
