I've been sucked in looking at GSs and GSAs on leboncoin, so I thought I'd post some pictures of my last Citroen, an AX14D that I put a 1500 Diesel in to go on holiday a year ago.

That was the only mechanical problem we had in 5400 miles over 16 days. The car had been dumped outside a bodyshop with a blown head gasket for 3 years previously.

They are literally fantastic. We had 75mpg out of it full of stuff and 2 people Plus they're worthless, which is high on my list of priorities! I wanted a pre-facelift (they're so much better looking!) but they're as rare as rocking horse poo in Sheffield. I took great pride in not washing it before we went away so it was still covered in moss and mold on the outside Back to top dyanut Dropped Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 177 Location: North Yorkshire Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 12:12 am    Post subject: Looks as though that AX was originally registered in Kingston upon Hull. Guess it enjoyed its trip to sunnier climes... ken.
