Back home. 

It drives pretty well, for a 32 year old, 138k french car with a Solex carb!

Phew! 😄

[Crackers]

Beast. 👌

I have nothing more to add.

Annoyingly, there's only the Rallye in Forza Horizon 5...

Top bombing sir!  That is a superb addition to your fleet, and not too far to travel, although I bet the DLR from Stratford was a *delight

[Scruffy Bodger]

Lucky boy.

Was it just the XS that got the twin carbs? I drove one years ago and it went very well indeed for a 1.4

The XS has a two barrel carburettor. The same engine combo went into the early ZX 1.4s and the Citroen AX Sport had it too.

People are now making manifolds for single AND dual DCOE carburettors! Fancy.

Must be my memory going, thought it had two singles on it.

AFAIK it never did- I've only ever seen engines with various single barrel and two barrel carbs on them, but only 1 carburettor per engine.

[CreepingJesus]

Unless the twin carb was a homologation special, or competition pack? 

Lovely little motors though, I'm constantly impressed how many are still around. Top buyage!

I've given it to him to use for free for a few months

My old XS had two carbs. Don't remember much else about it,though, aside from the fact it wasn't a TU engine. It was quite early, E reg IIRC.

Early 205s with the 1.4 suitcase had twin Solexes (GT, XT 1983-86) or twin Webers (GT, XS 1987-88).

I don’t think any early BXs got a twin carb suitcase or the later TU3S as a standard engine.

D'oh, forgot about the suitcase engine!

That's an absolute honey!
