HISTORY: The Citroen dealer of Corbeil  driving a DS estate  visited a retired gentleman, Mr Ribassin, trying to sell him a new Citroën : It will be this particular BX. Mr Ribassin will only drive a little up to his death in 2009, covering only 3000kms in 22 years. A Mr Tissier, an enthusiast of the BX model, buys this rare car with Bleu Romantique paint near his home. He only adds another 3000kms, and then puts it for sale in the classifieds in 2016.I ask my Parisian friend Eric Chandonnay to meet him. He shares the same high standards as me, and gives me the green light for this new acquisition. Mr Tissier was kind enough to organise transport by train from Paris to Frejus.
