My Dads 1987 GTI, been stood 10 years! awaiting recommissioning


other cars I've had 16RS 30 odd k on it, AX GT 24k on it and the 14D Echo 6k miles on it


My CX when I go it, we went to the American adventure and early Techo viking (my brother) walking up to my CX at Peterborough

Think I preferred the CX as it was then

White AX GT looks lovely! It's got to be the best colour for a GT, especially when the wheels look right like that one.

Aye the AX was a beaut.... until a bus killed it I liked the CX silver too, after 8 years I had it repainted Silver with a red green pearl lacquer, then a little girlie ran her push bike down the side of it Her family paid for the re paint.... The colour it is today.

The first time that i had seen a CX was at the east of england show ground Peterborough in the late 70's on a school trip, it left a lasting impression

Those early GTi's with the 4 "spoke" wheel trims in my opinion look great.

[MULLEY]

I like all those cars, i've even got a soft spot for the AX 1.4D, i had a brand new Jive in red, it was a great car, i still regularly check the classifieds incase it comes up for sale, it's still on the road, L205 AKH

There is something about those phase 1 BX GTI wheel trims... I love 'em. If I ever did have a GTI it would have to have those trims and be either silver or black

All look like loverly cars, I also am fond of AX GT's.

Go to your room.

In the last AX picture there's the wifes Pink mini

I paid 35 quid for the Allegro, it needed the front crossmember welding for the MOT.

I went into Halfrauds and asked for a set of wiper blades for an Allegro and the bloke behind the counter said that sounded like a fair exchange!!

I remember being at a Citroen CX launch at the Newark and Notts Agricultural show in 1975 (I was a St. Johns Ambulance cadet!). The Safari's and Familiale's were particularly impressive just by virtue of their size , but considering the Rootes group/BL stuff that was the standard fair in mid-70's rural Nottinghamshire the CX might as well have been from another planet - yer' know what, I reckon it was!

[citsncycles]

GS's must have been the same, as they were being sold in cometition with Marinas, Allegros and Escorts!

CX Safari's are a big car until you look at them along side a new C5 Estate - I recon that's actually a bigger car!

I've always had a soft spot for the Allegro, luckily I've never actually owned one thought.

Well, sort of. Safari is still longer (4920mm to 4829) but the C5 is much wider (2096mm to 1727mm). Having driven a lot in both, the CX does feel very long but the C5 while big, feels more in proportion.
