A wonderful car and a brilliant job, Well done!! and I love the music too

[@hardysorensen2161]

Many thanks for your response. I have truly enjoyed the whole process.

[@twistedeez]

A beautiful car. And an amazing job bringing it back. I'm working on a red 2400 at the moment so well aware of the complexities. Also about to buy back my 2200 which I sold 10 years ago. You have done a great job.

[@uwekall6281]

What a beautiful colour. Great that you could save it. Also the roof and bonnet paint job is really good. I wonder when they had carpet on the doors. I really cannot remember though my parents had the older model and I had the newer one. Thank you for giving me back some memories.

I am so happy to hear from some of the people who have been through a Citroen experience. Many thoughts and regards from Hardy Bang Sorensen From the daughter: All I know is that is was the feature vehicle at the car show in Sydney and it was on a raised rotating display stand. Thus it may have been specifically imported for this event. It was at the show where Mum and Dad saw it and decided it was to be their car.

[@thomasnuyts9725]

Spent long hour rides in the back of this car as a kid while my dad enjoyed himself racing on German highways. The electronics initially often went mad due to bad contacts but it felt like floating through the landscape. Never had the pleasure to drive it as it made deep contact with an enemy car one fatal Friday in 78.

[@hardysorensen2161]

O. Gosh. What happened?

[@thomasnuyts9725]

@@hardysorensen2161 unfortunately my dad had to go full into the brakes at 120 kmh because an elderly driver crossed the express road wirhout checking. My grandma was sitting in the back and during the crash her glassed were completely shattered after flying against the front window. After the crash, the police congratulated my dad with such stable braking marks on the road. The great suspension had probably saved their lives. The car was a totall loss. No one got seriously hurt.

The sun guard removal alone made this project worthwhile ;) Lots to like about the video's Aus vibe. Nice job on the CX.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Hi Mark and thanks for your comments. I am glad that you’re seeing the same as me and many others. It’s really a lovely car to drive and I love the’ Trimatic’ gear. It gives me both automatic and stick rattle. Thanks again. 👍👍

[@simonjl9833]

Job well done restoring the beautiful CX, she’s a beauty 👍

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

You’re not wrong about it and I have to be honest with you and I am a pretty proud owner.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Hi and thanks for your reply and I had a great time during the period and now I have the pleasure of driving around in it and enjoy all of the great looks that we’re having. 👍👍

[@renegunther3641]

Very nice

[@petervermeulen4870]

Great work. Looks fantastic. You should be proud. Greetings from an other owner of these beautiful cars.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for your comments and enjoy your great CX. And happy new year.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for the comments. Yes it’s great to look back and enjoy this magnificent car. The late previous daughter also gave me some teary comments. I gave her the keys and we went for a pleasant drive. Just wonderful to have that feeling on top of it all. Thanks again. 👍👍

[@NicoBakkernes-m4h]

Wat een mooie auto citroen prachtig. 🎉❤ 🎉❤

[@Mainlythingswithwheels]

the white wall tires and the chrome hub caps really suit it

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for the comment. I was lucky to find the white rims as they’re in short supply. Would like to have the next model’s wheels but they are also hard to find.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for your reply and I was lucky to have the only option for the new tyres as they are a special size. The tyre man offered to turn the white strip inward, but noooo. Its just right. Thanks again for your comments. 👍👍

[@paulfrantizek102]

Great work. A green tree frog taking refuge in a green Citroen is very appropriate.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

I am checking on the frog every day, but it hasn’t arrived back again after I parked it in a different spot, but it’s now back in the old carport.

[@hardysorensen2161]

We named him Fred. In remembrance of the first long time owner.

[@brianwallace6566]

I well remember riding around Glasgow in my friend P---'s -- it was a left-hand drive model as a matter of fact. also, this was a fine video

[@ibmortensen4987]

I knew you could do it, Hardy. Great job. It looks fantastic, and the car surely brings back fond memories. Ib

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for your feedback and I appreciate your kind words and I would do it again just waiting for the Citroen Maserati to come along at the right moment and price. LOL.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks Ib. Amazing that you could have confidence in me, Thinking back in the times when we worked together and I twice shot you with the nail gun. But you survived. Pew. Thanks again old friend. 👍👍

[@antman5474]

A French car with a resident frog... ....I died!!!!

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

We’re still looking for Freddo as he didn’t like it when I relocated the car to the other side of the house but it’s now back again and I hope he will find it again. I check every morning.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

I am still looking for Freddo but I think he has changed his mind and lives in the pool that he came across on the way looking for the old parking spot. He’s still on the property. Thanks again. 👍

[@ThePortmaccer]

great work, nice to see the effort you put into it

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Freddo is not in residence at the moment but I am checking for him every morning and will let you know when he is.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

I loved every minute of it and still very pleased to walk past it and usually give it a tap.

[@rundgren80]

Very impressive! Nice work on the brake valve especially I think.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for your reply and I had great satisfaction in getting to understand how it’s working and not scared of working with the hydraulics. There’s no leaking from it anymore. It’s really a great system. Thanks again 👍👍

[@Danny_Boel]

the car is in remarkable good condition for it's age . LHM leaks are a real nuisance, Losing brakes while driving is no fun at all, I had that happen on me in a BX once... Great choice of music btw 👍

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Many thanks for your understanding of brakes and music.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

I had a 1985 BX 1.9GT (bought at 2 years old). One of the many cool cars I bought used and sold then wished I'd kept. Brakes were never a problem but it wasn't a high miles car.

[@kazimierzkaz3669]

godt arbejde ---- tillykke ‼️ 🇵🇱

[@doorwayman]

That's fine work right there! I'm sure the work was its own reward, but I'm happy to know she'll return to the roads.

[@xm222]

Unique and beautiful car, great job, big adventure :)

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks a lot!

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

It sure is a special occasion every few days when I raise the old frog and let it float along the bumpy roads and enjoy the special feeling as you get. Thanks again 👍

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

Always a Citroen fan here ..but i don't ever remember seeing that colour on an AU sold car.

[@hardybangsorensen1415]

Thanks for your reply and I think it’s a standard colour. This one was sold at the 1979 Sydney car display at the rotating platform. The first owner Fred bought it for his wife and I bought it from their daughter as a one owner. Lucky me.

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

@@hardybangsorensen1415 Cool ..so maybe it was specially imported by the NSW distributor . I remember light metallic blue, non metallic blue and perhaps silver , red (rare) beige and white of course.

Hi I had an exactly the same year and colour back in 1994. I sold it to a collecter in Stanthorp ? I still miss the car

Thanks for your reply. Sadly they newer return to you. I had a DS 21 Pallas semi automatic transmission. In the 70 ties. Ohh I still miss it too. Oh the smoothness and worth every look 👀 from the humans.

But wait they do return. I'm buying back my green 2200 this coming weekend. I sold it 10 years ago. Same fellow I sold it to. He has done a marvellous job of upkeep.
