Very nice. Test drove a 2400 Pallas in 1982 - couldn't afford the insurance so carried on with mk2 Cortinas. Scratched the CX itch a couple of times - first an Athena which snapped its cam belt - then had a 22TRS Croisette when it was just six years old - did 60k over two and a half years. Loved that car.
An early GTi with the bizzare black and white leather trim is on my top five list - but I'm not sure there are any left

Yes! ;D I'd love to have one of those with that leather. They were very rare in their day as they were only produced for one year with the option of that leather (1977). I don't know of any to survive, although a couple of years ago I heard on the grapevine that there was one that was in very poor condition down near Gloucester somewhere. We tried to track it down but unfortunately I think it has been scrapped.  I have never personally see one in the flesh, but from pictures they also had white carpets too!  ;D |

...nope, definitely not. I think that I might know what CX you are thinking about though - a series two GTi Turbo 2 in white with black leather. If it is the same car, a friend now owns it near Telford. [/anorak off]  |

"Bleu-romantique"? It doesn't look very blue. Does this colour 'Fade to Grey' over time? ;D
I'll get my coat...

Very nice! I was discussing getting some louvres for my "different" CX with a friend but the downside is that they hide the weird curved shapes under the rear window (so does the wing obviously). Are the louvres standard on turbo's?

Are the louvres standard on turbo's? Yes, that is a downside with the louvre in that they cover up that fabulous rear window! We've got no shortage of louvres - 3 I think! Nope, the louvres were never standard on any CX. They were only available as an accessory, along with other items such as (eg) morrette lights. Hope that helps. I saw one in Barcelona years ago - can't say I noticed the carpets, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were right There are some about on the continent - I've seen a couple on eBay France and Germany in the GTis - shame there's not any in the UK!  |
