Citroen CX Pallas

This came in the post for you.

A magazine? From 1980? Hey wait. A road test of a Citroen CX.

Some kind of medicine?

A car. You know. Like we used to have in Saudi Arabia in 1983. Beautiful but eccentric.

Like so many French.

But distinctive. Difficult to mistake it for any other car.

Pity we had to junk it.

Compliance laws protecting Japanese cars. Some things it did very well. The seats were superb. The interior was Starship Galactica. But it wasn’t especially sporty. I remember one reviewer writing something like you have to row pretty hard to keep the speed up on the windy bits. Sort of tongue in cheek writing that predated Jeremy Clarkson. Good choice Zen.

It was good in the desert though.

And they were versatile. There was a stretch version good for carrying newspapers and camera crews.
