I'm not familiar with that colour, was it a factory option?

I remember that colour in the 70s/80s......it was then known as...
DYSENTERY BEIGE

Green tinged Beige ! That's novel!

Officially known as hearing aid beige, damn the loss of the edit feature!

Got to be the best colour description ever!

I reckon that's well worth the asking price by the way as such a rare car in good order has to be good value at that price?

Seller likes his older (very rare) Citroens - other cars lurking in background:
a silver S1 CX Prestige (c'est très rare stretch limo)
and a black CX GTi turbo2 (amazingly fast Cx).

Could be the BX GT will be a very good one, and with 60k miles on it,
it should be!

The car was the CCC show today and a nice tidy car it is too, it could do with a darn good valet but was rustfree and worth £750 in rarity value.

Having now seen it at the National, it looks a sound car but not as good as Tim's. Hmm... if £750's the going rate, what's mine worth...?

Thing is Baz GT's are getting so rare decent examples will start to fetch good money. Mechanically yours is probably better than mine and that!

Certainly felt good driving to the National and back

. Although Kitch was being kind in letting me keep up with his Alfa...

Anyone have any idea how many GTs are left in the UK now? The last figure I had from DVLA was 42 in 2003. I know at least 3 of those are now in that great scrapheap in the sky, probably many more.

Incidentally, if anyone's interested, 3716 were sold in the UK.

I think that GT, along with Phil C's old 16TGS auto belongs to Patrick Rugg. He advertises in the Citroenian.
