This Citroën BX GTI is an extremely rare French modern classic hot hatch; a phase 2 example in original RHD and presented in the iconic combination of white with black leather interior.

It is powered by a 1.9-litre dual overhead cam inline-four producing 158bhp, which is sent to the front wheels via an engaging five-speed manual transmission.

For a sense of the driving characteristic of the BX GTI, please see the following quotes from Autocar magazine:
“The steering wheel has a direct effect on the front wheels, shifting the nose around deftly; the suspension, while comfortable, is stiffer than in many hydropneumatic Citroens; and the engine thrums encouragingly.

Let’s talk about that engine, the part of this car for which so many of them gave their lives. It’s quite a thing. Shared with Peugeot’s 405 Mi16, it kicks out 158bhp, right up at 6500rpm – 500rpm short of the red line.

The suspension’s give and softness make the BX GTI 16v quite unlike any other hot hatch to drive. Together with the quick, precise steering and free-shifting gearbox, it makes the BX GTI 16v flow from corner to corner, its strong brakes scrubbing off just the right amount of speed each time, and that magnificent engine hauling you out with just a whiff of slip from the inside wheel.

With dynamics like these, it’s a car that deserves far more recognition than it once had. Fortunately, that’s the case today, with BX GTI 16v prices on the rise.”
