The problem is you couldn't use it (unless you were utterly loaded) as the depreciation would be off a cliff. Imagine, run it a year, do 6000 miles, pick up a trolly ding or whatever, and your £13 has turned to into maybe - on a good day - £2k.

Its worth £2.5k absolute tops imho, they'll never sell that at that price, i doubt even citroen would want to pay that sort of money & add it to their conservetoire.

Its a beauty and no mistake, but it is a 19TRS estate after all, and probably too nice to use it as intended.

It's a museum piece and that's it IMO.
Quite right. It still didn't stop me going; 'bloody 'ell fire with knobs on!' If a continental collector wants a museum quality car for a personal collection they might very well pay that - there are more than a few collectors with those kind of resources for the right car - you couldn't use it - it would be a crime.

God knows what you get up to in front of that computer of yours Mick? I'm trying not to think about it - it's upsetting!
Reminds me many years ago of a "new" venetian 16V being sold off in france (apparently had come direct from Citroen) had 200 something miles on it. It was when i was first into 16V's and despite bidding £4k for it i was outbid in the 11th hour RHD too!
