i like the bottom one, i may have found a garage space so i'm looking at possibilities for my next BX, an estate is favourite but would love another 8v GTi

Why not got for the 16v on fleabay and take your time re-conning the engine? Could get a fab motor for the £££££

Painted bumpers, hoop spoiler and a patternless velour GTi style seats (which are actually quite nice in the flesh). Looks like they had 16v steering wheels too form those links.

Ahh cool. Yeah, I was gonna say - I do actually quite like the interiors on those. Their plainness makes them more understated than other BX interiors, and thus a little more modern.

Zenith velour is it? or summat like that, I know the later TZ series cars had the same style if interior.
