BX16V.com Forum

We all now the figures are never completely accurate but according to http://howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/citroen_bx_16v There is only one BX 16V left in the UK! The more odd thing is it's an '86???

Who here has one of the rare "16V" registered ones?

Fortunately, there is a massive 116 GTi-16V's left on the books, although more than 3-qtrs of them are SORN.

Did we decide that these were the CAT equiped cars

The year is totally wrong, which doesn't give me total confidence in the accuracy of the rest of the data but it is a good guide and indicator to the low level of these cars.

I was always under the impression that it was the later cars that dropped the "GTi" moniker to help lower insurance costs, bur there is speculation on BXC that they were the early ones!?

i only saw 25 16v's when i put in citroen bx in the how many left search

not many zx 16v's left either but last week there was a minter on ebay with 39k! on the clock

The Zx16v on Ebay looked a very nice example . I've fortunately got one of the last 18 roadworthy examples . They do occasionaly come up for sale but are getting harder to come by .

Afaik gti badged was dropped with the facelift. G reg onwards
GTI badge contuined on 8v - so not too sure about insurance theory

The GTi badge was only on the first cars, 1987 and maybe into 1988. I have literature dated from them that backs this up.

My 1987 meteor grey 16V is badged as "Bx GTI 16V" and my 1988 white 16V is "Bx 16 Valve". This logic has also been constant with other early Phase 1 cars that I have owned.

The V5 will say something different.

Here is a good example of this:

Adrian's is the silver '87 car and mine is the white '88.

This is the online equivalent of talking to yourself

This is the conversation that we had regarding this subject before the howmanyleft data was first published:

So basically there will be some P2 cars with gti 16 v on V5 .Typical of DVLA although i'm not too sure whether new supplying dealer is responsible for info as in reality DVLA i assume have no control over car titles
