When Peugeot took over the company Citroën in 1974, development of the CX as the successor to the legendary DS had just been completed and the car was ready for market launch. As the successor to the DS, the car initially had a difficult time, even though, like the DS, it stood out from the crowd. However, when annual production exceeded 100,000 units as early as 1975, it was clear that the car had been accepted by the market as a worthy successor to the DS. In recent years, we have observed an extreme increase in interest, and we are certain that these cars will soon be among the sought-after classic cars. The abbreviation CX describes the drag coefficient in French, and since this car was one of the first to be developed extensively in a wind tunnel, Citroën used the abbreviation as the model designation. The design comes from Robert Opron and, similar to that of the DS, set new standards. A total of 1,170,645 examples were produced by 1991, and there were several facelifts during this period. The biggest visual change was made in 1985, when the vehicles received plastic bumpers instead of the stainless-steel bumpers that had been customary until then. Today, models built before 1985, with stainless-steel bumpers, are far more sought-after.
This CX GTI with air conditioning is largely in its original condition. The car was delivered to Switzerland in 1984 and remained there until 2016. At that time, the mileage was 53,810, and the vehicle was sold by CX-Basis, with a guarantee of this mileage, to a Citroën enthusiast in Berlin. We still have photos from that period showing the rear seat covered with the original protective film from the factory. At the time, CX-Basis thoroughly overhauled the car mechanically and installed a new fuel tank. Apart from the tailgate, the vehicle is therefore still in its original paintwork. Unfortunately, the thin scratches on the roof are also original; the Swiss owner caused them himself by pushing snow off the car. Since 2016, the clutch, fuel injectors, alternator, ignition coil, ignition cables and other small parts have been replaced. We have known the car since 2020 and sold it to a customer in Brandenburg. He has now bought a Melkus sports car manufactured in the GDR, of which only 101 examples were produced. The CX cannot compete with such rarity, and he has therefore entrusted us with the CX for sale. The vehicle's bodywork, interior and mechanical components are in an incredibly good original condition. Even the alloy wheels look as though they belong to a nearly-new car. Since 2020, the gentleman from Brandenburg has driven the car only 1,974 kilometers, and the current mileage is 62,555 kilometers. If you are looking for an exceptionally well-preserved CX with air conditioning, you should take a look at this original from Schwyz.
