This 1990 Citroën BX is a distinctive French hatchback, featuring Bertone styling, a lightweight composite body and Citroën’s signature hydropneumatic suspension. Known for its unique driving characteristics, the BX delivers a notably smooth and “floating” ride quality, with the hydraulic system reported to be functioning properly.

According to the seller, the car has spent the last decade in the hands of Citroën enthusiasts, both experienced with the marque. Maintenance has been carried out by recognised specialists, with invoices available to support the work completed. Over the past 10,000 km, a significant amount of mechanical work has been undertaken, including rear axle removal and refurbishment with new hydraulic lines and mounts, replacement of the clutch, timing belt kit with water pump, auxiliary belts, CV boot repairs, suspension components, steering rack boot, gearbox oil, wheel bearing, full brake overhaul, valve cover gasket, valve adjustment and regular oil changes every 5,000 km.

The bodywork has previously undergone welding to address corrosion in the sills and other areas, and is currently described as structurally solid with no visible holes. The car has a valid technical inspection until September 2026, having covered only around 500 km since the last inspection and stored in dry conditions during winters.

Power comes from a 1.4-litre carburetted engine, which is reported to start consistently, run smoothly, and remain economical. The seller notes that the carburettor has not required adjustment during ownership. Despite the listed issues, the car remains usable and represents an increasingly rare and appreciating model.
