Yes. Yes. Yes.
A nice early one would be best.
I have many children so have secured 1st dibs on a mate's Familiale when he comes to sell :

Get a DS, at least the DS were made in slough and have a cult following and you can still get all the suspension rebuild parts. 'Mine' lands on in September and will see how bad it is.
Or buy one from south africa, right hand drive built from kits, rust free if you buy the right one. Saying that I saw a cs sport estate while in france that was in a breakers year as well as a 104 convertable....now that made me think... Also saw an Honda s800, nice tr3a, at a garage near the N10 by Paris....

Yes, buy a CX.

We had a CX Estate in Black when I was kid. It was terrific. My dad loved it. Alas, he bought it for my mum (as he's in the trade she's always had little say in what she drove) and she hated it. Called it a hearse and it lasted 2 weeks before it was back on the forecourt.
He's had a DS19 for the last 5 or 6 years and it's a glorious thing. Its had a few niggling problems but puts a massive smile on your face every time you get in it. Like all classics, they are on the rise but are still reasonably attainable. I suspect a bigger problem with CX's (as well as other similar age citroens like the GS) is finding a decent one. I can't remember the last time I saw one.

I've been looking into Citroen CX's recently as I've always wanted a DS or SM, but they're getting too pricey and rare.
Anyone ever had any experience with em? I've heard (like most French cars of this age) that they can be total rust buckets - but that they are also incredibly comfortable innovative cruisers. Also - they look freakin' awesome!
