Vehicle details
1992 - J Reg Citroen BX GTI (16v), With its current owner since 2017, and having had thousands spent during that time on mechanical and body maintenance.repairs, this BX GTI is a solid usable classic/retro example. Affectionately known as Valerie she is offered for sale on behalf of her current owner. General information:, Registration Number: J996 SPD, MOT to January 2027 (no advisories), 2 Keys, HPI Clear, Original handbook pack and a folder full of invoices. Major mechanical and body (welding) work carried out in the last few years - she is a good solid example that drives extremely well with no knocks or bangs. She starts well from both hot and cold and does not smoke. Mechanical work has been carried out mainly by either Chevronics or Sparrow Automotive (both Citroen specialists) and in August 2024 the bodykit was removed, inner sills repaired along with the jacking points and chassis outriggers (all common areas for corrosion) and the outer sills were replaced. Most recently (May 2025) she has just been into the local Citroen specialist - Chevronics, for a general check over and some remedial works, these being - both front strut top mounts replaced and new window moldings fitted. Here is the full low down from her current owner:, Ive 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, and whilst very presentable, the paintwork isnt perfect although she is in my opinion an honest usable classic who wears her age very well. Those things mentioned, I think thats 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) . Its 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). I had the cam belt replaced when i bought her (at 121k miles). Alloy wheels refurbed and new tyres with about 1500miles use. Valerie as shes 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!), Theres bound to be things Ive forgotten so asked questions to prompt my memory, I genuinely think shes not far off being a really very good example (if a little original in the paint department). Sadly I just dont have the time or the space to enjoy and keep her. Ill give honest answers as thats how Id 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 although this is not structural as was not reported on the MOT test. She did have welding work carried out in 2024 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 GTI 16v is of interest, it is available to view by appointment and is based in Hertfordshire.
