*Citroën CX 2400 GTI – 1978
Swiss registration title, in temporary importation
Succeeding the legendary Citroën DS was no easy task! The CX, which rolled off the production line in 1975, literally changed the car’s style, marking a departure from the less radical but equally elegant design by Robert Opron. The CX also enjoyed a long career, and although it did not feature any major technical developments, it was nevertheless the first production Citroën with a front transverse engine.
The first models were equipped with the engine of the latest DS, but German competition soon pushed French manufacturers into a race for power. The GTI phenomenon, which appeared in 1976 with a certain Golf, did not spare the French grand tourer, and from the 1977 model year, Citroën offered a sports version of its saloon.
Its fuel-injected 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engine developed 128 bhp, while offering a chassis that was both comfortable and sporty.
Delivered new in Switzerland on 12 April 1978, our Largentière grey example had 2 owners before joining the collection in 2007, when it clocked up 139,000 km. It then underwent a major restoration between 2008 and 2010. The mechanical and hydraulic systems were completely overhauled, and the chassis was given an anti-corrosion treatment. The bodywork has been repainted in the mythical Mandarine hue emblematic of the period, and is superb.
The cabin features the two-tone leather upholstery typical of early GTIs, combined with beige carpets and a grey roof lining. All in very good condition. The car also features air conditioning, an interesting option at the time.
More than 10,000 km have been driven in this car since its restoration, and it took part in the ICCR rallies in England in 2012 and Holland in 2016. An emblematic model of French production, Mandarine CX GTIs are rare on the market, making this beautiful example a superb opportunity not to be missed!
