Homologation special: 1986 Citroen BX 4TC
Back in August we wrote about a special rallycar coming up for sale. It was the car on the left, a Citroen BX 4TC Evo. Well, surprise surprise, now the car on the right has also made its way onto Ebay. And the offers being made are probably still a bit off the reserve.
1986 Citroen BX 4TC
The seller has tried a couple of times to sell the car through ebay. It’s a mint example though with less than 5000kms on the clock. The interior as can be seen on the picture below is pretty standard. Only 200 cars like these were made. Sales of this exclusive Citroen were not very high, infact only 62 out of 200 were sold. Many showed problems wich Citroen solved by buying back the car and scrapping it! Estimations of how many are left vary but there are probably around 30 cars left.
The 2.2-litre, 200bhp engine was derived from the Peugeot 505 and placed longitudinally into the front of the car. When you look at some of the pictures you will notice that the car has an unusual long bonnet. The car is also 4×4 enabled. The 4×4 system under the car made the boot a bit smaller compared to normal BX models.
Here is some footage of the BX 4TC in action.
The car is available on ebay France, offered out of Yvelines. We’re not sure about this car. It is cool, powerful, rare but is likely to break down. Our guess is that the target audience for a car like this is quite limited. Click on the pictures to get through to the auction.
