1990 Citroen AX GT 1.4
Summary:
Cheap, better than a VTR etc. Fast, reliable
Faults:
Only one problem, but nothing that any other car wouldn't have.
One wheel bearing, fixed by me at cost of £38, but come on, the beast had done over 100000.
General Comments:
SO quick. Amazing on fuel. Put a modded engine in it; cammed, skimmed, ported, valves, vernier pulley. Full exhaust, including manifold. And put an MG Maestro twin carb on it, putting it up to 137bhp.
The thing was dangerous, but so much fun to drive. A white van man drove into me at what he said was 30 (more like 45-50) and wrote the thing off, but I was totally fine, and it was sold and repaired, and is now living in Bridgeport as far as I'm aware. SO WATCH OUT!!
Nothing made me happier than watching VTRs, GTE Novas and bigger cars (and even bigger cars when I put the tuned engine in) vanish in the rear view as they tried to overtake. Great looking car.
Now own a modded Focus. Faster, but not as much fun!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
