Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Early Citroën CX 2000 from the introduction year 1974 (production date 15-12-1974, chassis number 00MB6736)
• Largely original example with a very well-kept and original interior
• Powered by the 1,985 cc four-cylinder petrol engine with well-functioning hydropneumatic suspension, brakes and transmission
• Originally delivered to France (license DF-769-ED) and currently equipped with a valid Dutch license plate (42-YE-94)
• Odometer reading of 00,266 kilometers
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Citroën CX was unveiled in the summer of 1974 as the long-awaited successor to the iconic DS. Designed by Robert Opron, the model combined a streamlined, aerodynamically shaped fastback body (with a drag coefficient of only 0.36, from which the name 'CX' is derived) with Citroën's famed hydropneumatic suspension and an innovative ergonomic dashboard with the distinctive 'lunule' control satellites.
This specific example was produced on 15 December 1974 (chassis number 00MB6736) and thus belongs to the very first year of CX production. The car has a French registration (DF-769-ED) and is now equipped with a valid Dutch registration (42-YE-94). According to a windshield sticker, the vehicle is presumed to have last been on public roads in 2016.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork is largely original and virtually rust-free. There are a few small superficial rust spots: light surface rust on the inside of the lower edge of the left front door, two small rust spots on the inside lower edge of the tailgate, a rust spot on both the inside and outside lower part of the front left fender, and a rust spot on the inside lower part of the right door.
The paintwork is faded and shows various larger and smaller scratches and several dents (left rear next to the taillight, on the tailgate above the lock, at the rear of the right front door, at the level of the headlamp on the right wing, at the front of the right rear door and at the front of the right sill). Based on color difference, both right doors and the left front door have been repainted in the past. The front bumper has a small dent on the right and the rear bumper on the left. The glass and the window trim on the left rear are removed but are included with the car. The antenna is missing.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in a notably neat and original condition. The driver's seat cushion shows two tiny holes and on the rear seat on the right side there is a small hole; the rear seat upholstery is lightly soiled. The original door panels are intact but slightly warped at the top. The headlining has come loose and the interior rearview mirror is missing.
ENGINE AND TECHNICAL:
Under the hood lies the 1,985 cc four-cylinder petrol engine. The engine starts and runs well, the clutch and gearbox shift properly, the brakes function and the characteristic hydropneumatic suspension also works well. Currently there is no battery in the vehicle. Given that the car has not been actively on the road since about 2016, it should be technically checked before returning to public roads.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has a valid Dutch registration certificate (42-YE-94; exempt from APK/vehicle inspection in the Netherlands) and also a French registration (DF-769-ED).
It is recommended to view the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment. To make an appointment you can contact Catawiki. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership and any export documents or registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
