1200 miles/year - editor or user fail there!

interior got a new headliner and a a few replacement minor bits.  

did this one to hang onto for a while, as easily the hours & $$ spent will
make it a challenge to recoup in a quick resale.  

The CX has the full hydraulic system, which all the "spheres" were replaced
as part of the reburbishment.  That system does the variable height
suspension, self-centering steering, and brakes.  

This is my 5th current Citroen and at least 16th Citroen I've owned.
