After Duurtlang came in a bit too hot over a kerb.

I’d like to know how they figured this out at Citroën. I imagine they must have found out during testing of DS prototypes, that they could do this.

Man, I love these old Citroens.....and they are really reliable if you keep up the maintenance as well, even the complicated suspension!

I see that you put the proper tag on this post. Well done, Sir! ;)

You and me both!

Despite the occasional LHM leak (turned out to be a return y-piece on the front suspension that had disintegrated, easy fix once found) it’s been remarkably solid.

Best thing about it is that all-in, including original purchase price and all maintenance costs, the BX has cost me a grand total of £470 ;)

I have grand plans for it too when I get around to it. Banded steelies and a cobbled together low-blow XU9 petrol turbo so it can waft along on a wave of torque ;)
