Oh god, so many cars to buy, so little money / space / time...

Although, it would give me the shell for my project...

What IS that all about? I seem to remember that a lot of citroens of that era having inverted chevrons, is it just numpties not realising it is supposed to be the other way around or is it just supposed to be controversial in some weird way.

Lovely car though, wish I had the money! Was wondering what they looked like as I've never seen one, does anyone know if they are full time 4wd?

I would imagine some cars that have had paintwork or repairs have had the chevrons put back on the wrong way up by non citroen people!

With that low mileage you might stand a chance of the 4wheel drive system lasting a few more miles before bang

They are full time 4wd. Pity, as selectable would be better.

It says it has had a new gearbox already!

With that 1.9 carb engine, it will be slow AND thirsty.

But as Mulley says, if that mileage is real, it should last a good while- then you can use it for parts or convert it to 2wd when it breaks.

You could probably get it for £400 -not much for a usefull estate car.

I thought it was not so much the gearbox but the shafts which caused the problems with 4x4 Bxs?
