Here are a few pics of our current Citroens: (i hope they arnt too big!)
1996 2.0 SX XM Auto:
We have had this for over 6 years now, its been 100% reliable and is still in pretty great condition given that its now 12 years old, it still feels, looks and drives like new. It gets well pampered, the spheres are always topped up every 2 years to keep it at its best.
We didnt look for an XM, it found us and are we glad it did, its an awsome car. We had had lots of Xms in for services etc but never spent any time with one until we bought this one.
Its now a pleasure car and is not in daily use, we keep it for long distances (as thats what they are so great at, isnt it) and weekend pottering. Over the winter it gets very little use to preserve it from the winter road grime, so it gets tucked away from the bad weather.
It is the SX spec so not brimming with toys, its got all i want. I have considered swapping it for a diesel with air con, but this one is ours, we know everything about it, its in great condition inside and out and everything works! So it seems silly to ever sell it.
We have always had Citroens, always having atleast two at a time, even if they were not daily users. We also have this:
1995 Citroen C15D 6 Wheeler. This is the only RHD 6 wheeler C15 made by Citroen. My dad ordered it new in 1995 from a french Citroen dealer, the conversion was done by a company for Citroen called Chauson Leotard. They made 101 6 wheel C15s. The last one is ours and the only RDH version. It has the rear seat option with seat belts for three in the rear, with side opening door and optional power steering. :
1955 Citroen Big 6H. Believed to be one of only two RHD models still in existance with hydropneumatic rear suspension. Only 74 RHD Big 6s were converted to Hydropneumatic rear suspension, as test model for the forthcoming DS. Ours was originally a road research car fitted with a fifth middle wheel to test the skid resistance of road surfaces for the road research laboratories in London. Which it did for 16 years before being sold though the MOD auction.
It is now fully restored, we have owned it for 27 years and have won many trophies with it. Its also been featured in quite a few magazines over the years too, its even cropped up in a few odd magazines, i was once flicking through a truck mag in Smiths and there was a picture of my car!
Here it is:

How it was when it was new:
