Citroen BX

The Citroen BX is a large family car that the French manufacturer Citroen produced from 1982 to 1994, with 2,315,739 built in its twelve years. It was announced in June 1982, presented in Paris on 2 October 1982 under the Eiffel Tower, and was meant to replace the smaller GS and GSA. The angular hatchback was designed by Marcello Gandini of Bertone and the car was made lightweight with few body parts, many of them plastic. It dropped the GS air-cooled flat-four for new PSA petrol engines and was for four years the best-selling diesel car in the United Kingdom. The hatchback ended in 1993 with the arrival of the Xantia, and the estate continued for another year.
