HISTORY: An Englishman called Ed came to visit my museum in 2005. We became acquainted when his CX had engine trouble in the car park of the museum. I identified an ignition lead problem and he was able to leave with the problem fixed. Since then we have become friends. Two years later, Ed found this CX for me, with one owner and only 12,000 miles from new (approximately 20,000kms). From the first day, the owner had protected the boot and the seats with covers, and only used the car sparingly in good weather. After only a couple of years, he became ill and could no longer drive and the car was sold after he died. Ed went to retrieve the car, then we went over to collect it from just outside London before finally crossing back to France with right hand drive!
