Spent yesterday tearing around the countryside in the BX 16v. What a wonderfully eccentric combination of ‘80s Gallic flair, luxobarge comfort, and remarkably hot-hatch-like driving dynamics. There really isn’t anything else like it, and I am sorely tempted to find one to bring back to the States with me.
A more thorough write-up is pending, but I couldn’t resist sharing this gif of its magic hydropneumatic suspension in action.

Same in NZ. And the ones that are there all seem to have been sold by the same dealer! My family have had a number of used Citroëns over the years, and they all started their lives at Adlams European in New Plymouth.
