Available for auction at no reserve is this 1978 Citroën CX Pallas finished in White over a black leather interior. First launched at the 1974 Paris Motor Show, the CX was the successor to the legendary Citroën DS and incorporated technology from Citroën's advanced SM coupe. The Citroën CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975. This top-trim Pallas version was originally delivered in Canada and is said to have remained on the road ever since. Features include a 2,347cc inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle, speed-sensitive DIRAVI power steering, a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension, a unique rotating drum speedometer and tachometer, power accessories, and more. This Citroën is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Quebec, Canada.
The CX was designed by Robert Opron who was nominated for the 1999 Car Designer of the Century competition. Wind-tunnel testing was used to help give the CX a drag coefficient 0.36, and the name CX is derived from the French term for drag coefficient. This example is finished in White and is said to have been resprayed in its original shade in the year 2000. Detailed images can be found in the gallery. It rides on a set of 14” wheels dressed in Michelin Defender tires 2017. A spare wheel and tire are mounted within the engine bay.
The cabin is upholstered in black leather with matching carpets, door panels, and dashboard. The CX’s interior features several unique elements including a rotating drum speedometer and tachometer, a single-spoke steering wheel, and a dashboard design that reaches forward allowing the driver to operate features such as the lights and signals without removing their hands from the steering wheel. Amenities include power front windows and door locks, air conditioning, and removable headrest cushions. The seller confirms that all gauges and accessories remain functional.
Power comes from a transverse-mounted 2,347cc inline 4-cylinder engine. The wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed manual transaxle. The CX features speed-sensitive DIRAVI power steering and a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension which could be set to 4 height levels. Several receipts for parts from CX Basis have been supplied by the seller and are available for reference in the gallery, and the seller states there are no outstanding maintenance items at this time.
This sale will include some spare parts, service manuals, and a clean title.

@n_l thanks to chime-In: Undercarriage can be seen by running the Video, starting 4:54+ ( 30 secs of if )
Good eyes for the text. Yes, it is a front-wheel drive car: It started with the iconic ‘Traction-Avant, then the DS, then CX… ‘
Any undercarriage pictures?
You also may want to correct the listing text that says “The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed manual transaxle.” This is a front-wheel-drive car, is it not?
