This is not going to be standard PistonHeads fodder, it's not the story of a performance car, being lovingly restored to it's former glory, or mechanically and visually enhanced by an enthusiastic hands-on owner.

It's the story of changing from a 14 year old 220,000 mile diesel Volvo V70 to a 2 year old 10,000 mile Citroen C5X PHEV, with a side plot of how things are done in France. Expect tales of every day use and road trips, experiences of plugging a car in for the first time and how I get on with leaping several generations of in-car technology.

A (very) few of you might have seen a previous thread about the prolonged search for a replacement car, particularly when the current vehicle continues to do a fine job, and you are really fussy about the specification of the replacement:-
