Citromuseum

Post by Dieselman » Fri Mar 11, 2011 11:34 pm

Tonight I've been wasting the evening reading various American on-line magazine articles about Citroens and came across this little gem in the middle.

Anyone ever heard of this place or been. Check the history on some of the cars, they are amazing finds.

Just found another one mentioned.

Very nice! Some extremely rare cars there, the earliest I had were CX's, I see there were a few there but not worth mentioning apparently :( Never been that far south.

I'd like to go to the Citromuseum. Apparently the CX is the last in the line of Citroens that he wants to collect which is a pity.

Really, yet he goes into detail about how he has a couple of CX. One being one of only two surviving Hydractive Mules, the other one being in the Citroen Conservotoir.

I thinks so too, but his reasoning is that after the CX, Citroen were just a division of Peugeot. Though I did notice in one picture he was towing with an XM estate.
