For sale we have this rare Citroen BX 16V (GTi).

Affectionately known as 'Valerie', she has been with her current owner for 8 years, and we are offering her for sale on his behalf. We are willing to accept sensible offers, but please, do call us to discuss.

She has just been into the local Citroen specialist - Chevronics, for a general pre-sale check over and some remedial works, these being - both front strut top mounts replaced and new window mouldings fitted. (we have the invoice for this work, as well as a folder full of invoices).

Here is the full low down from her current owner:

I’ve owned J996SPD since Feb 2017 and had a lot of work done since. A couple of minor things windscreen will need investigation as despite having a new windscreen and the surround tidied up/roof painted the new screen has the ‘white cloud’ appearing at the bottom.

Those things mentioned, I think that’s the worst of it. The front inner wings and under the washer bottle was welded up when the screen work was done (Chevronic Centre LTD) . It’s been near fully re-piped bar front brake pipes which are in good order, front & rear height correctors, HP pump etc reconditioned at the same time, new discs, pads and all calipers overhauled, new custom built alloy radiator as the old one was tired (Sparrow Automotive). Alloy wheels refurbed and new tyres with about 1500miles use.

‘Valerie’ as she’s been named drives really well and the engine is strong, spheres react well and recently has a new accumulator sphere fitted. Pump tick is about 15 seconds. Battery is 2 years old and I have spare dizzy cap and rotor, spark plugs, coil and ignition modules (all bought and fitted to cure a misfire around 2000rpm, which turned out to be harness related under the battery!)

There’s bound to be things I’ve forgotten so asked questions to prompt my memory, I genuinely think she’s not far off being a really very good example (if a little 'original' in the paint department). Sadly I just don’t have the time or the space to enjoy and keep her.

I’ll give honest answers as that’s how I’d like to be treated when buying a car, so ask away!

Still to do are the hard pipes on the inner wings for front strut returns need cleaning/replacing, NSF rack boot and the boot floor on the nearside was reported as rusty.

She did have welding work carried out last year to the rear jacking points, inner sills and axle mounts, as well as some floor panels, so i believe her to be solid. (there is a receipt for this work too).

Please contact us at KDS Automotive if this BX 16v is of interest, it is available to view by appointment.
