Tbf I do like these but at that money its hard to imagine spending it on one when you could have an fk2 Type r. Always question the engine reliability at that power as well.

I can see your point for sure,however I couldn't get on with the looks of the Type R imo and as uncommon as it would be, I love the fact I'd hardly ever see a 308. The engine in early gti cars (mainly 208 I think) seemingly gave bother but my the time these came out the major issues had been ironed out. These are relatively light as well. Underrated for sure imo.

Yeah same basic engine as the jcw mini I had im pretty sure, tbf I loved the engine but they did have their issues.

Definitely pretty unique, never seen one in that colour even online.

Pretty sure that colour was only available right at the last on them, so can't be many in that colour at all.

That's my mates car - it's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen. Like a wee mini Evo.

Looks great, sounds great, goes great. And I've literally never seen another one ever. I didn't even know they existed until he told me he had one on the way!

I don’t get that at all, dry stored for 20 years.

I mean it’s a Citroen Saxo, not a Ferrari 250 GTO.

Crazy money at 11,500.

He may not have been able to afford a 250 GTO 20 years ago just, where as the Saxo probably cost him a grand or something.

Definitely not the same level of investment potential as the Ferrari, but it's like a lot of cars that were cheap 20 or 30 years ago and now at silly prices, your Mk1 and 2 Escorts, Twincams, old Vauxhalls, anything 90s Jap.

Not saying he'll get £11k for it either, but not too mental a price when you look at what mint 106s go for, plus there was a low mileage VTR made decent money at auction.
