Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1983 Citroen CX IE Familiale is a rare, unrestored, and authentic example with only 45,000 miles, recently recommissioned by specialists. It presents well with straight bodywork and a good interior, though minor cosmetic flaws are noted on the exterior and wheels.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in very decent condition, with straight bodywork and consistent panel gaps. However, there are several minor cosmetic imperfections noted, including scratches, a shallow dent on the bonnet, chips, scuffs, blistering on the driver's door, nascent corrosion on the inside edge of the driver's door, and some bubbling by the wing mirror. The wheels also show tarnishing and pitting. While mechanically sound and with good interior condition relative to its age and mileage, these exterior blemishes prevent it from being rated higher.

The car’s odometer reads 45,000 miles and that figure is corroborated by the car’s stamped-up service book and by various invoices and receipts accompanying the vehicle.
When the vendor bought the car late in 2019 it had spent the previous 6 years as part of the Jaguar Land Rover Heritage Vehicles Collection (no, we don’t know why either).
The then owner had this unrestored, original, authentic car recommissioned prior to selling it to the current vendor.
It then spent the next 6 years kept warm and dry in storage, prior to being taken to classic Citroën specialist Sparrow Automotive of Hereford for some service and remedial work that included the following.
Today, it starts, runs and drives as it should and ...
