I'd already spotted this one, thought about asking how much for the interior.

Not wishing to sound picky but the 16v is known as the 16v in its own right and shouldnt be confused with the Gti!!! there is a vast difference between the two and i would have thought that you guys here on the bxclub forum would know of this!
the car in question is a phase1 with all the phase2 kit put on instead of the p1 lot!

16V

What happened??? Not too happy about this, bid over the reserve £350.00+ and found the auction cancelled, just like that, why? I do wish some people would give some kind of explanation.
Cheers. Geoff.

Yeah, what a p***er. That's the thing with eBay: Not enough explaination.

Anyway Cornish, less of the 'plain' when referring to the GTI - yes, all of us know how exclusive and special the 16v is, but the GTI is good in it's own right - and I like autos so I have no choice as I think/know for certain that the 16v was only manual. (And what'd be the point of a 16v auto anyway!?).

Let's not get too snobby about the BX models, please! Each on their merits I say.
• 1992 Citroen BX TZD Turbo Hurricane
• 2006 Xsara Picasso 1.6 16v
