'Top condition, top equipment. A powerful and sporty BX without work needed '.
Originally from Switzerland. Great wheels that appear to be Citroen -

Air Conditioning too. If the steering wheel was on the right side of the car, then it would be a great car! You can keep the wheels though... not that good looking IMO.

If you buy it David I'll convert it to RHD for ya!
There easy to do, and that looks like a cracking car!

Umm are they off a C4 VTR or something? That does look stunning. Id just keep it as a LHD. It woul be handy for trips to the Autobahn

Citroen have sort of reprised the wheel pattern for their new C4 Loeb ( just in case David or Doc want to buy a set!) Mmmm! White alloys - what a good idea!

Wheels aren't off a C4 VTS, but I think I've seen them on Picassos and lower spec C4's.

Personally I think they totally crap on it. Weird colour too, doesn't suit all that well. It looks greeny/greyish, not quite right.

apparently this car is a pile of cr@p. Why can't Citroen capitalise upon their WRC successes and do a decent job? Like Subaru, Mitsubishi and to a certain degree Ford. What is wrong? Can't Citroen actually design and build a decent performance car anymore? Is the BX 16v (or come to that the 8v) actually the last one they made???

C'mon Citroen do something FFS!!!!

Agreed, the C4 VTS is pants in itself. It uses a 2.0 180bhp VVT engine from the Pug 206 GTi 180. And in a heavy C4, it isn't enough. Now they're making DIESEL ones FFS! And this Loeb thing is as big a cop-out as the C2 GT which was a "homoligation" model.

The last decent Citroen hot hatch was the Xsara VTS, but only in it's drive (they're very very quick and handle very very well)

The last widely acknowedged Citroen hot hatch was the Saxo VTS, which was a little cracker (not to be confused with the VTR, which is a shopping trolley in comparision)
