Not all Gtis come from VW and Peugeot

Some time during the growth of interest in more everyday classics that has come to the fore in 2018, the world collectively woke up one morning and remembered the Citroën BX GTI. Sold from 1986-93 in both eight-valve 120bhp and 16-valve 158bhp form, they have until now been little more than cult cars to Citroën fans or donors for Peugeot 205 tuners.

For years you could pick them up for a couple of grand, but now it’s suddenly more like £3500, which is still not a lot, or more than £5k for the best. However, with the current rate of interest seeing good ones snapped up in a blink, don’t expect prices to stay that way for long. They’re still less than half the cost of even a 1.6 Peugeot 205GTI, and there are far fewer BXS to supply the new demand. Prices are set to head one way.
