SOLD

This wonderful, angular 1990 Citroen BX 4×4 GTI is in lovely condition and has a low mileage of less than 87,000 miles from 3 owners. The car has had a fairly recent re-paint including all the doors and front wings. All inner doors and door shuts were also re-painted in 2018.

The 1.9 litre engine runs and sounds good and has had new valve stem seals fitted, a new water pump, new distributor cap and arm, new timing belt, new radiator and a stainless steel exhaust. The rear axle high pressure suspension has also been re-piped in copper with four new discs and pads (within last 3000 miles).

It benefits from four new tyres and all the electrics work as they should however the remote central locking system may require some attention. There are some minor scratches to the plastic in the boot and around some of the lower centre console, but overall the interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears.

The car has main dealer service history with 10 stamps in the book up to 47,000 miles (in 1998), and one specialist service stamp at 52000 miles 1999. It has since been serviced and maintained by enthusiast owners and serviced accordingly.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a very rare and well cared for Citroen BX, and one of the rarest left on the road in the UK in 4×4 GTI guise.

MODEL INFORMATION

Styled by Mercello Gandini of Bertone, the BX was one of Citroens most successful cars of the 1980s. Launched in hatchback form on 2 October 1982, the BX not only had an eye-catching design, but also Citroen’s world famous hydropneumatic suspension ? giving the car an unrivalled ride quality.

The BX was incredibly popular during its production run, however many were scrapped and they are now a very rare sight on the road. The 4×4 GTi is the highest spec BX, and featured a gearbox mounted four-wheel drive system with locking differentials. The car also featured a fuel-injected 1905cc engine that could propel the car to 60mph in 9.7 seconds ? an impressive figure for a big heavy Citroen at the time. These are now incredibly rare, with only 4 believed to be left on UK roads.
