The Citroen BX in competition

Post by PinhU »

This first cars were droved by Rui Lages and David Rodrigues, in 1990 and 1991. The car number 7 participated in the Vila Real Revival in 2010 and in the Rampa da Falperra 2010.

Thanks for sharing these great images, I'm particularly fond of the colour scheme on the second car.

The second car disappeared from the racing scene in 1992, and has never been seen again.
Somehow, in a recent passed I've found it in a Citroen Specialist in my residence area. The car is in a really good state.
I'll make a article about this cars in my Blog http://www.speedmessiah.com.pt (sorry, the blog is in Portuguese).

They are running on full stock hydraulics! I'm trying to find the guys that prepared these three BX's to know that secret :twisted:
