Won this old girl at the weekend :D Needs a new autobox and some TLC. It'll shortly be at Andyboy's restoration emporium and then over to Matt at Body Motor Works for a spot of 'remetalling' :eek: Never had one with a toolkit this wide before :D :wan:

Hmmmm.........Cirrus!

Or is it Cosmosblau?


I may slip the Kwikfit geezer a fifty to use the ramp for heaving a 4HP22 in and out. Or I may go the self harm route and do it on my back with a trolley jack - decisions, decisions! :roll: :D

Them rear head restraints look positively ostentatious, If I am not mistaken they were an expensive extra cost option. Such flagrant opulence ! :)

..v. excited by the ?6? x 14" bottle tops :D I've not done much reading yet, but I understand owners of the more ostentatious 635CSi models got lumbered with a defunct wheel design and can be found driving around on E34 wheels these days :D

There's been some pretty rampant language! E24 bumpers were designed by a maniac who used to work at Citroen.

Next up, an Inspection 7 and rear ABS rings. :D
