Grace must go to the great Autoroute in the sky tomorrow :cry:

I have bid a Fair sum on it 'cos I need another car . Leaky suspension and injectors and a duff aircon system, too. Something to play with. I'm starting to feel better already. Ta, Jon!

Scrapped.The alternative was to send it Classic banger racing to further upset the Establishment ("And don't think I wouldn't because you're not dealing with a rational man!")*. There are a lot of old cars out there and the CX isn't one of the best of them.
I did 8,000 miles in six months in the full realisation that it may be a disposable car for 7p a mile depreciation. More than it had done in the previous five years, including a wonderful 1900 mile odyssey during a week just driving it in Europe during a snowy February. I've had my money's worth. The MOT's up on friday, It was fun while it lasted.
Had the Establishment been a little more friendly, I might have offered parts but as it is, it goes to the crusher.

Tom... Please don't scrap it, that would be a great shame. I'll gladly come and take it away, either to use as a CX, or if the car is that bad, I'd dearly like the TD engine for my Citroen C25 van (it uses the atmo D engine and would benefit from more horses).

either way, please don't let it get squashed!

So Grace has gone. David thinks it is restorable, which it is but I wonder if he has any idea of the work he is taking on? I'll stick to BXs!
