Regarding the lack of stripes. Thats normal. With a GT, if you get the fuel computer , you miss out on the stripes and vice versa. You do get GT badges on the sides of the front wings however, and it has these.

There's an echo in here!

So, anyone having a bid on this then and trying to win it?

Be interesting to see how it turns out, it's certainly getting silly alright.

I think you're right there Adam. I know the earlier cars didn't have side repeaters, and that they had the computer and the tweed seats but I didn't know about the stripes.
The one we have is an 86' spec car (even though its an 85 car

) and it has no computer (yet

) and the mk2 CX GTi velour on the seats.

It also has a black dash. For a mk1, I think thats vital as its the only one which doesn't go multi-coloured

Yeah my GT (hopefully to be Stuarts reasonably soon), has the CX style seat fabric which is lovely. I think it was just the 84 cars that had the computer, but it looks like if you have the bits, would be easy enough to fit. Probably completely inacurate, but it would be a lovely period addition.

If it doesn't go in the GT, it's going into the valver

the bidding price may seem high now,but what a car to have! and how often do they come up? give it a few more years,you wish you had bought it! if only i had bought the GS X2's i was offered several years ago!
the MK1 GT is certainly a rare beast,if not already,soon will be a "classic",this one will proberly make a good investment for someone,if you realy want it, go for it,don't regret it in 5 years time! (as i've done with GS's and R16's,if i knew then what i knew now!!)
be fantastic to see another MK1 it at the BX Challenge!!

If it's been stood so long, getting it on the road could be a challenge in itself!

Lol ken a man of your abilities would have it ship shape!

cavmad · Post by **cavmad** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:58 am

I expect people worry about the potential work required as Ken mentioned. No reason why this car isn't any good but it's a potential minefield if it's stood that long. One good thing is that it's extremely unlikely to go to anyone but a big Citroen enthusiast who will look after it.
