Good luck with your search.

Hi Steve,

I have responded to your PM.

It is my baby! There are a couple more in Bath I believe but I never see them.

This one looks like a good estate (If you like Series 2!)

PM replied to! Bizarre how I have seen your car about!

You might have seen my Audi 80 (C reg), not as unique as the CX but it does get noticed.

Well I bought the series 2 safari estate on ebay. Turned out to be a complete bag of bones despite having been assured it had a new engine from Citroën 85000 miles ago. Using 2 pints of water every 50 miles and now the turbo has blown up. Undriveable! Anyone got a cx turbo 2 engine?

Would that be the "attention to cure an unresolved leaking water problem. " mentioned in the advert?

I decided against a CX and bought a B reg Audi 80 Sport that has done 153k miles, 2 owners, 12M MOT and 6 M tax for £450.

Just needs new ARB bushes (£15 all in) and apart from that hasn't missed a beat and is pretty nippy.

Careful! Took much confidence!

I will look out for the car around Calne.

We must meet up for a beer one summers evening.

My CX is currently languishing in the garage with a flat battery Crying or Very sad

You may however see me bobbing around in a green Frogeye Sprite on a K plate.
