Sold 1995 Citroen AX Forte 1.1 with MOT, 70k £295.

[Six-cylinder]

I hate to do this but I just have too many cars does anybody want the AX 1.1 Forte before I advertise it elsewhere? I just want what I paid for it £295?

 

I have done 110 trouble free miles. MOT is 4^th March 2018 and I would say the exhaust may have a blow.

 

These are the words about it and from bramz7. 

 

1995 Citroen AX Forte 1.1 with MOT, 70k £295.

 

A Forte. Essentially a GTI without the engine and some other performance bits, it is however really well specced for an AX and has the following:

-Engine temp gauge

-Electric front windows

-Front Foglights

-Rev Counter etc...

 

The car itself was owned by an old lady for a decade or so and she passed away, meaning the car was offered for sale, and I got it. It runs fine on all roads and as per normal AXs, sips fuel. I probably am an idiot for offering it for sale but blaring up and down the motorway every day in it isn't my thing. 

 

So the good things:

Car has 6 or so months MOT

Bodykit al present and largely undamaged.

All electrics work with the exception of the foglights

Heater is intensely strong

Engine runs well, pulls well all the way through all gears, and sits at 70-75 without a care in the world

Grippy tyres

Interior is very tidy

Had a rear brake overhaul earlier this year

Fuel economy is superb

Holds temperature well, does go to 100 quite quickly but stays there. 

 

 

Bad things

Bodywork is largely very straight but paint has marks all over it

OAP owner shut the garage door on the bonnet at some stage, not really any visible damage but opening the bonnet fouls the panel between it and the windscreen. Still opens though!

Some rust appearing on drivers side under the kit. Never mentioned on MOTs though, even though the rear arch desperately needs doing. Or just leave the kit on and hope it doesn't get picked up

Wheels need a respray

Ride seems a touch crashy for an AX around town, settles up well on motorways though.

Think the old owner hit something as the front bumper has come off a mount on the passenger side corner, but it isn't hanging off.

One exhaust mount has gone AWOL.

 

 

Still, an original Forte is a rare thing now.

Nah, it isn't blue.

 

I have a set of new and unused indicators for an AX, forgot to chuck them in the car when I sold it. Anyone want them?

[purplebargeken]

Nice little car though, bet the seats are squishy comfy.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Really wanna try one of these!

 

Random, but any interest in some nice vintage hifi as a swap?

bugger bugger bugger arse.

Why this week? Why not in a couple of weeks when its pay day and the dust has settled from bringing the mopeds home?

Doing the Mongol Rally next year (there'll be a bigger post later). This would be perfect!

I owned one of these in a kinda dark metallic green.

I fucking loved it, one of the best roadholding vehicles I've owned.

All the plastics broke, gearbag as well. Diet engine but seriously good fun

I don't know why, but my AX gets more use than my Saab.

In the last pic remove the stupid funnel and replace with suitable tubing in the intake for instant yo vtec power increase.

 

The funnel was added to reduce intake noise.

Now Sold to a member of this parish.

 

I will leave it to the new owner to make themselves known!

[GoGently]

Nice one less. Just xxxxxxxxx to go!

[UltraWomble]

Thank god for that - I  was seriously thinking of using the credit card....

[KitKat]

Can I ask if anyone on here knows of any more of these for sale? Got a hankering for one, an itch I need to scratch
