On the Surface: These CX 25 GTI Turbo’s are rare and sought-after now as they are true to Citroën’s iconic grand tourer legacy. Finished in a Black over a Black leather interior featuring Red piping, this RHD example is one just 25 licensed for use on UK roads.

Maintenance & History: While this CX 25 GTI Turbo 2 is in need of recommissioning or restoration to reclaim its former glory, it comes with a current MOT valid until 24th July 2025. The car does lack comprehensive history, however, it does come with a  CX 25 GTI Turbo Owner’s Manual and a Citroën CX Haynes Manual. The odometer reading of 139,178 miles is believed to be correct.

The Model:The Citroën CX was launched in 1974 as a worthy successor to the legendary DS, inheriting its advanced hydraulic systems and innovative Varipower (DIRAVI) self-centering steering. The CX GTI debuted in 1977, pairing dramatic aesthetics with high performance, while the Turbo 2 variant introduced in 1984 delivered an impressive 168bhp, cementing its cult status. The Series 2 examples benefit from more modern bumpers and traditional instrumentation.

Sale Insight: Owned by the current vendor for over two decades, this vehicle is offered as part of a reluctant sale due to a house move and space constraints. With its undeniable rarity and iconic status, this Citroën CX 25 GTI Turbo 2 presents an opportunity of a worthwhile project.
