This is why I love trawling Ebay. :D
Get a load of that hydraulic pump!

that is by far the ugliest car i've seen....
-
I think that's cool. The pump is for the height adjustable suspension. Very cool.

Citroen are the coolest. Not constrained by conventional design. The rocker switch on the left side of the steering wheel - turn signal, not self cancelling. Button under it - Horn. Spare tire in engine bay, love it! But very roomy, can drive over a plowed field at 30mph while sipping tea in the back seat and style and form before function ever time!

About 15 years ago , I came fairly close to buying a CX diesel that needed an engine overhaul. Would have been an unusual ride, but...
I do currently have a DS19 boite mechanique...
-
gawd i love Citroens. If i lived in europe i would definitely have at least one. You have to know pneumatics and hydraulics to work on them though. They used to race DS's in the Dakar with stock suspension.
-
Thanks for posting this. What a cool wagon. So many cool little subtle differences from what you "normally" see ie: check out the steering wheel- pretty futuristic for '81.
-
Yeah, this car is cool as hell.
I see it from time to time. Down the road from me.
I thought of buying it just for car shows. ;D

I keep waiting for Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob to step out of the car with Krusty saying, "Hey, Heeeeey!!!!!!"
-
I agree it's styling isn't for everyone. I just think that it's so unique.
-
good god it's ugly, but i would drive the crap out of that thing :)
-
I want that steering wheel!
-
That's what I love about it... It ROCKS the ugly. :-* Love it or hate it, you're gonna stop and look.
It'll be interesting sourcing spare parts, for sure. I had a Renault 1.9 wagon years ago, most comfy seats EVER; the French know from cruising comfort.

Yeah- French seats are for comfort, German seats are for masocists. I got so sick of being brutalized in my Caddy I found some Renault Fuego seats for it (when there were still some of them around)- they are comfy.
As for the mono spoke steering wheel, if you think that was radical in the 1980s, how do you think it was in 1955 when the DS was introduced with one?

I am really tired of the seats in my Caddy too...they are from an 84 Jetta...what are the best factory seats that will bolt in a Caddy anyways? talk to me people my kidneys are failing
-
I thought it was butt ugly at first but it is growing on me ;D.

Recaros from a MK2

I had some from a 90 GTi in a caddy once and they hurt too. I am 6 feet and 200lbs though. I think you have to be 5'10 and under 175 to be able to operate a Caddy. sucks cause they are awesome if you get a good one with a turbo engine (like I have :D)
-
I'm 6'1" barefoot and 290# and I checked out a friends caddy recently :o I'd need a extended cab caddy!! LOL I don't think I could even drive it. My Golf is great for me though.
-
Now you know how sardines feel ;D
-
That's why I sold my caddy.. Got sick of squeezing in the darn thing.. Must something about large people and VW's.. Checking out seats at the junk yard, every stinking one is broken down flat... The guy that gave me the blue '84 Bunny was 6'6" and probably 350lbs.. He drove that thing for 15 years.. No padding left in that seat whatsoever...
On topic, I'd so drive that wagon!!! But, its too nice for me.. I'd be shot for throwing an engine in the back or driving it through the junkyard...
