BX4x4 · Post by **BX4x4** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 4:22 pm

My first post, finally got around to put my classic car up 4 sale, where this rare example would be appreciated.
Yes only done 82k miles in black, Citroen expert in Lewis did comment its one of the few that really pulls well and accelerate well for a 8 valve GTI.
Been in storage for 8 years, no rust was wax oiled before storage. Service record with one in done in France. really sad to see it go but not finding time for it and storage in London is not cheap, located in London.
Bad points exhaust need attention, abs not working, spare wheel sensor incluided among other spare parts.
Suspension in excellent condition as a results of not been on salt roads! Photos to follow. Any interest?

An idea of price, i presume there's no mot?

Correct No MOT, first register March 1990, last MOT in 2004, on checking my records I bought it in 2003 and was last on the road in 2004. Been running it twice year. Will take some pics on the weekend, weather permitted. £600,00 ONO :

Hi. Rare and no mistake, but as many will tell you, an exhaust will be nigh on impossible to find, so it gets expensive when having to consider an SS system (bespoke, that is). Coupled with the fragility of the transmission, even with the best will in the world (and with no MOT) I think you'll have to be a lot less ambitious on price... But best of luck

Luck would help but would appreciate direction to real life value, or is it condemned to scrap value?

Certainly not scrap! Low mileage is one thing, but desirability and rarity counts for a lot.

The BX 4x4 is a rare beats these days, and if yours has a working drive system thats good, I do think as its beenoff the road for 9 years, has no MOT and as Phil said needs an exhaust which are not available unless you have one made £600 may be a tad sharp.

did it fail an MOT before going into storage? if so do you have the list of failures?

No I just used the TZD, because it's more economical, would amazine the exhaust would be the main problem.

what year is it? just wondering if it has a CAT for exhaust costs

BX4x4 · Post by **BX4x4** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:56 pm

No cat as far as I remember, it's registered March 1990, when were they fitted, theres not much room for a mouse let a lone a cat in the transmission tunnel, lol...
On seriose note can some one confirm was the 4x4 fitted with a limted slip rear diff?, mine has got the switch to lock the center diff and it works
Any seriouse interst out there?

No 4x4's or GTi 8v's had catalysts as far as I know.

Thanks, any comment on the rear diff?

BX596 · Post by **BX596** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:17 pm

Rear diff is a "Torsen"

Thanks can't find good description on wiki but am I correct in saying its similar as limited slip and require special oil?
