CX GTI of 1981 (48890 Km)

CX GTI of 1981 48890 Km

COLOUR: Gris Espadon AC 076

MODEL: This model was offered from May 1977. Engine: 2347cc with Bosch electronic fuel injection. The 128cv power output is a reminder that it is the same as that of the DS23 injection (130cv). 5 speed gearbox.
The GTI model is easy to recognize:
1. An aerodynamic spoiler was mounted at the tail, from 1981
2. Door pillars and handles were in black, from 1981
3. Alum wheel-rims. This car is equipped with accessory Michelin rims.
4. Fog lamps under the front bumper.
On the other hand, the headlamps in the calendar are accessories.

HISTORY: Mr Tessier was a Citroën dealer near to Tours at this time. He ordered this CX for his own personal use. He was in a good position to add accessories: extra headlamps in the front grille and rear visor to shade the sun. Having had word of my museum, he offered to sell the car to me in 2008. He was also kind enough to offer me two sets of specific Michelin wheel rims with TRX tires.
