DIEHARD ◊ 2007-03-21 14:27	To continue the forum discussion on (Link to "forum.imcdb.org") I think CXA is the right term. And I think this can be identified as a CXA CX 25 Prestige. Look at the badge on the c-style. Now compare that to the photo's Antoine posted of the CXA for sale on ebay: It reads Prestige on both C-styles... The orignal source (http://www.emhi.nl/cx.nl/cx-main.html) also lists it as a Prestige: - a CXA Prestige featured in the american movie 'Mo' Better Blues' from 1990 by Spike Lee; -- Last edit: 2007-03-21 14:31:11

DIEHARD ◊ 2007-03-21 14:47	added '25'. I think Prestige also means it is the stretched edition (limo), but I am not sure if all Prestige's where limo's....
