Citroen CX 1964 Safari

A truly exceptional and extraordinarily rare classic, this 1964 Citron Safari estate, registration HMK 6B, represents one of the most distinctive and innovative family cars of its era. Built at Citrons Slough factory and first registered on 1st July 1964, it is a genuine UKsupplied, righthand drive example of the iconic DS/ID Safari a model produced in very limited numbers and now seldom seen on the road.Finished in an elegant blue, HMK 6B perfectly captures the futuristic spirit that made the DS such a sensation, combined with the remarkable practicality of the Safari estate body. The Sloughbuilt cars featured unique Britishmarket details including 12volt electrics and distinctive interior trim, adding further interest and rarity to an already special model.The car benefits from a welldocumented and enthusiastled history. It has enjoyed longterm ownership in the past, careful maintenance and restoration work over the years, including an engine rebuild and a sympathetic body restoration in its original colour. More recently it has been recommissioned by a Citron specialist, with attention given to the hydraulic system and associated components to ensure the car performs exactly as intended, delivering the legendary ride quality that defines the DS.Inside, the leather interior has been carefully and sympathetically repaired in order to preserve its original patinated charm. Rather than overrestored, the cabin retains the character, texture and authenticity that only time can create, offering a wonderfully evocative driving environment complete with the signature singlespoke steering wheel and expansive glasshouse.This vehicle will be supplied by Classicwise and, for complete peace of mind, will undergo a major service and be sold with a fresh MOT. HMK 6B presents today as a beautifully preserved and mechanically sorted example of a rare Britishbuilt Safari. With its combination of innovation, comfort, rarity and unmistakable style, it offers a unique opportunity to acquire a highly collectible and immensely usable classic Citron that stands apart from the ordinary.Why not book a viewing, Our Coffee Pot is always hot!.
