![]() Today's car of the day is CM's 1986 Citroen BX4 TC ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real car, please visit: Citroen BX ![]() ![]() This car is the version that was raced in the 1986 Monte Carlo Rally. It was raced by Andruet Jean-Claude and Peuvergne Annick. Unfortunately, it did not finish the race due to an accident. For some reason this car looks to me like a Lancia Delta Integrale went and dressed like a Storm Trooper for Halloween. But I suppose that is a very fitting look for a rally car. ![]() ![]()

It kind of looks like a Quattro on steroids to me. Interesting to compare this with the Majorette one. |

This is a COOL diecast piece - and one I didn't know existed before this. Somehow, I missed out on the Citroen release of CM's models when it was new, and never came across any until Ben put some spares up for sale recently. I bought 2 Citroen models from Ben (had to go check the box Ben sent, which is still only partially unpacked, to confirm that I did in fact have any CM's Citroens), but now that I know of this one, it'll be on my "someday" find list. |

Nice model. Didn't know of its existence. We had a BX, not quite like this one. A 17RD with just 60 hp. Best riding car we've ever had. It's suspension and gear ratios made it a great caravan tug. A pity we got rid of it but it was well on its way to getting worn out. A very rare sight on the roads now. Chris. |

I think when it is time to vote I will vote for a car from CM's. They have done a pretty good job of covering most of the brands involved in rally racing.

They really have! The one glaring omission is Audi, but pretty much everything else I could think of rally car wise they have done. I wish someone would make a collector quality Audi Quattro rally car. |
