Hi Tim, here are a few pictures i took yesterday, it actually apears to look worse on the pictures than it actually does.

There is a little bit of wear at the very bottom of the steering wheel, and the citroen badge isnt great. Other than that its very presentable, and in good condition.

Don't let the worn out badge put you off... It s a 2 minute job to swap it, and put a black one in.

Am I right the black badge was introduced in memory of an anniversary of Andre Citroen's death (hang on, it can't be - he died in 1935) - oh, I don't know.

Anyone know when or why the black was introduced?

Citroen were keen to promote the improvements to build quality on their later cars, & so introduced the black badge as the paint had a better wear rate :wink:

Looks fine to me, the pad on my steering wheel is fine, but the wheel itself is worn from the bejewelled hands of the previous owner.

How much did you want mate.
