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 4x4 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. This example has only had 2 previous owners.
This 1990 example is in good condition and has a low mileage of only 86,500 miles. The car has had a professional re-paint including all the doors and front wings. All inner doors and door shuts were also re-painted in 2018. The front bumper has a small area of cracked paint (due to a family member backing into it), however the plastic is not cracked or deformed. The boot plastics also have some minor scratching. The 1.9 litre engine runs very well and recently 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). Four new tyres have also been recently fitted. All the electrics work as they should however the remote central locking system will require some attention The car has a 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. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a very rare and well cared for Citroen BX.
