This is by far the most incredible Citroen graveyard i have ever discovered in the UK! I have never found so many rare citroens in one place! Incredibly rare cars such as the legendary Citroen BS, DS, BX, CX 2CV, AX and i even found x2 Citroen SM!! The SM was one if the most luxurious cars ever produced by the company, wile Citroen were designing the SM they approached Maserati to use one of there engines in the SM… Maserati rejected there proposal so Citroen brought Maserati…. The car ended up with a V6 power plant from the legendary company which made the SM a Very Special Car indeed! This location have never been explored in such depth and the reason i found so many rare cars, inc the AX GTI.. again another Incrediblely rare car! Hope you enjoy this weeks video guys 🙂

Da blutet mein Herz. My heart is bleeding. Until now I had no imagine about how many cars by Citroen were built for the Britsh market. Left handdrive. It' s a big shame that there' s nobody to save this konvolut. It is worth every penny. Knut vom Andre Citroen Club

Hi Colin, list of the cars I recognize: 8:03 Citroen XM Break on blue paint; 8:21 most likely a Mercedes 190 (W201); 12:57 most likely a Mercedes W124; 10:10 Citroen C15 Romahome Hylo (motorhome based on Citroen C15 chassis); 13:27 that Citroen CX mirror also used on Lotus Esprit X180 (1988-1994); 19:32 Citroen GS Birotor engine made by Citroen and since it was a complete disaster in many ways in France they, Citroen, tried to buy thyem back from the customers to destroy them, but luckly some owners refused to sell the car and still keep it to this day; 25:32 Citroen 2 CV Fourgonnette; 23:12 it looks like to me a 1936 Citroën Rosalie 7UA MI.

Hi Colin and James I think both of you need survival medals for that video,it was almost jungle warfare!!!! Great selection of classic cars,really is a crying shame seeing them rotting away.I owed 2 Citreon amis back when I was first driving and the ride in them was excellent a little squishy if too fast in corners lol! And my Dad owed a Bx and the ride in that was superb as you said. Any way another great video from you two explorers,great commentary as usual Colin.Really looking forward to next weeks after that one. Take care both of you.😃

@cruizzer77 4 ай бұрын

I grew up with Citroens, my parents had a GSA, BX, Xantia and now C5, always Breaks (= estates). I learnt to drive on the BX, it was so nice to drive because it had an incredible suspension system and was quite light for the size but quite powerful with the 2 litre injection engine. I wish I still had it as well as the GSA, they have become so rare now. Still I never had a Citroen of my own, once almost had an AX GTi and another time almost had a Mehari, but I was young then and didn't have the money and space.

I've been driving past this place for years, there were always interesting old Citroens parked outside the front, Tractions Avant's, Gs's and CX's etc but I had no idea this lot was locked away there. It'd be a great source of rare spares, Citroen nerds must know about it?

Nice one ,Guys , but such a shame . A fiend of mine in the RAF had an SM . He used to call it his ,Thunderbirds car .(This was back in 1982 ) . It would have made the video complete if ,Tarzan had coming crashing through the undergrowth . lol . Stay safe ,Guys .

I know someone who had both a BX GTi and Bx Gti 16 v 4 x 4. I briefly had a Zantia less than a week easiest £450 ive ever made, only problem it leaked oil. Citroen haven't improved as my 2013 DS3 Dsport Thp also constantly has a slight oil leak.

Cela me fait plaisir de voir nos amis Anglais aimer les vieilles Citroën. Aujourd'hui, les marques automobiles perdent leur identité, car elles intègrent des groupes multimarques avec les mêmes moteurs, les mêmes plateformes. C'est juste un badge Opel ou Peugeot (Stellantis), mais techniquement, ce sont les mêmes autos !

Citroen owned Maserati for a few years and used their engines in quite a lot of models shame there all scrap cars when I lived in the UK their was a man in Ripley who had a few hundred Citroens I owned all the Citroens but never a DS could not find a good one I could afford I think you should take better footwear with you and a pair of cutter's good video thanks. I forgot to mention rust was always a problem the Maserati engines they used were really unreliable I was buying CX and SMs for under a thousand pounds back in the early 80s

let them rest in peace most of the cars are not worth restauring i restaured a DS21 ie for more than 60 k euro 15 years ago it would cost now more than 100k the SM probably double that amount but some one could do that because of the masratie motor
