1991 Citroen AX GT from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Budget pocket rocket"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Lights needed rewiring-earth points corrode easily

Ignition module went-got a replacement from scrap yard for £5

New radiator

New clutch

Lacquer has peeled off bonnet-looks terrible

Bits keep falling off-especially from the interior

Alloys corrode very easily

Am fighting off the rust now.

General comments?

Very good fun to drive-always puts a smile on my face

Except in the wet at which point it becomes a death trap

Surprisingly quick-slows a lot at 70mph

Which is good as the brakes are terrible

Very reliable-always starts, even in winter

Good handling

Except in the wet where it seems to loose all grip, especially under braking

Excellent value for money

Cheap insurance.

I am looking at an AX GT sportif at the moment is there anything important to look at? When I drove the car I noticed the temperature was up (not overheating just up), so the current owner must of had it running before I arrived. Do they have trouble starting when cold or could there be a more serious problem? Thanks!
