It does look like a nice one, so its probably worth the dosh, but i dont think there will be bidding frenzy, now if it was at 0.99p no reserve!!!

I'd say again it seems like a good prospect for someone out there. A nice late GTi is a great car.

Is that really a GTi? Doesnt say so against the BX badge but there is some odd script below the ABS badge.

It says "GT CARS Leicester", which is where my Dads 19TGD and The Xantia came from, its now a derelict building in Leicester Lee Circle. Its done well to last all this time, we peeled ours off the BX teh day we got it as I thought and still do think its a biit naff!

Ah, so it's not a real GTi! I guess it could have most of the bits as a late model when they throw everything at it but probably not the bhp of the GTi.

If it's a GTi 8v why does it not boast the badge? And what extras does it have above my GTi?

Factory alloys as standard, different seat fabric (same pattern as a Xantia VSX) 16v style rear spoiler and side vents and was only available in green with the special hurricane graphics. Think they did them in 1.9i spec and a 17TD spec if I remmebr righly, mechniaclly they are the same as a TZDTURBO or 19GTI 8v of the same period.

As for the badge I think the later cars did change over to that style, I know the TX series were the same.

Trust me if i had £400 spare we wouldnt be discussing it, it would be on my driveaway getting valeted within a inch of its life

Thanks Jon, thought so, remember having a brochure for one once, bet Ian Fearn has one.

I've had the TD and GTi. Both great cars! Ok, it's only the seat colour and whale tail that make it special but they look great!

I loved my Hurricane, it was just too rusty to keep. For some reason all the Hurricane's i've ever seen were far more rusty than an equivalent aged BX.
