In 2014, CX expert Michael Buurma and Thijs van der Zanden of Citrovisie decided to create a unique CX-book. This book has now become the standard work in the CX field. However, the call for an English language version remained so strong that author Michael Buurma and publisher Thijs van der Zanden joined forces with translator and Citroën expert Julian Marsh. The result of their collaboration can now be ordered.
In an almost encyclopaedic manner the creation and evolution of the Citroën CX is discussed in this book by model year, by type and down to the smallest detail. This also includes the models that never got beyond the drawing board: a five-door CX, numerous never realised interior designs, a CX GTi with a diesel engine… The book is amply illustrated with hundreds of images and is an indispensable reference for the real Citroën lover. The foreword was written by Pierre Leclercq, head of Citroën’s design studio.

In an almost encyclopaedic manner, and with great attention to detail, the creation and evolution of the Citroën CX is discussed by model year, by type and down to the smallest detail. This also includes the models that never got beyond the drawing board: a five-door CX, numerous never realised interior designs, a CX GTi with a diesel engine and an extended CX Pallas, to name but a few?
Overviews with technical data, chassis numbers, body colours plus sales figures complete the picture. The book is amply illustrated with hundreds of images, most of which have never been published before. This makes "De originele Citroën CX" an indispensable reference for the real Citroën lover.
This book also exists in French and English.

Until the 1960s, Citroën's biggest factory stood in the centre of Paris. With a large factory in the heart of a big metropolis, Citroën foresaw logistical problems. An alternative site was found in Aulnay-sous-Bois, a stone's throw from the new Charles de Gaulle airport. Here a huge industrial complex was built that, when it opened in 1973, was the most modern car factory in the world. The last DSs were assembled in Aulnay and, of course, the factory was also the birthplace of the legendary Citroën CX.
In his book, author Julius Goldmann describes the factory in all its facets: the construction and opening, the secrets of the productionlines and all the models that were produced, the strikes, the closure and demolition of the buildings. Memories and anecdotes from former employees and many previously unpublished photos complete the story. A fascinating book about an underexposed part of Citroën's history.
