Equipment
2141/200hp, 5-speed, alloy wheels, Michelin TRX tires, pattern cloth seats, Clarion cassette.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Showing 53,192 km. The wheels are scratched and tired. The paint is a little bit tired, and there are cracks around the filler cap and rear bumper. Cracks and scratches around the fender flares as well. The windshield is delaminating in a few spots. The interior is very clean. Not many examples of this Group B oddball are left so one can’t be picky when shopping. This example is definitely a bit scruffy, but good enough.
Market commentary
The BX 4TC is mostly known for three things. First, it's delightfully odd in that typical French way. Second, it was the biggest failure of the Group B rally era, having only briefly competed to mediocre results. Third, Citroen was so self-conscious about the car that it disassembled all the rally cars then bought back many of the road cars and destroyed them. That last bit means they are quite rare, and RM Sotheby's claims that just 30 are believed to still exist. That combined with the desirability of all things Group B, even the failed experiments, explains this high but understandable price for a rally oddball.
