The seller offers for sale a Citroën BX 19 TRI from 1989, a classic sedan finished in the rare “Blanc Crémant” colour. This example has been owned by enthusiasts and recently underwent major mechanical servicing by a BX specialist. The 1.9-litre four-cylinder petrol engine runs smoothly, the gearbox shifts properly, and the hydraulic suspension operates as intended. A detailed service list includes a major maintenance service, clutch cable adjusted, LHM system flushed and bled, high-pressure pump replaced, front wheel bearings replaced, front brake discs and pads replaced, rear brake pads and discs cleaned, corrosion treated in various places, passenger-side steering rack cover replaced, parts of the exhaust sealed and the center muffler replaced, new tires (Michelin CrossClimate+), rear height adjuster overhauled, brake control replaced, fuel pump replaced. The timing belt was replaced in 2018. This car has a valid technical inspection until April 2027.
The body shows cosmetic wear and a single rust spot in the engine bay, while the interior is fitted with clean GTI cloth seats. All electronics function except for a minor light behind the heating panel and partial rear window defroster lines.
Introduced in the early 1980s, the Citroën BX represented a bold step in design and engineering for the French marque. Its wedge-shaped body, penned by Marcello Gandini, stood out from conventional sedans of the era. The hydropneumatic suspension provided the trademark Citroën “magic carpet” ride, while its lightweight construction ensured efficiency and comfort. The BX 19 TRI combined practicality with innovation and became one of Citroën’s most distinctive models of the decade. Today, well-preserved examples such as this one attract enthusiasts who appreciate the brand’s unique approach to automotive design and engineering.
