{"product_id":"1989-citroen-ax-1-1tre","title":"1989 Citroen AX 1.1TRE","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the mid 1980's Citroen needed a car to take the mantle from the ageing Visa, and in line with the BX and CX, the smaller variant was inevitably named the AX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in 3 and 5-door formats and with a variety of engines, the AX quickly became a sales success for Citroen and spawned many special editions and a hot GT at the top of the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is ... not a GT. But it is a 1.1TRE 5-door which does mean you get a higher level of interior trim than you might expect from a typically 80's french tin can. Showing just under 77k miles, it's averaged only 2,100 miles a year since new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the off-white paintwork is in reasonable shape and will be getting some attention from our paint team before reaching its winner, and the acres of black plastic are also in very good shape. It's currently sporting silver steel wheels but will be sporting some original 13\" plastic trims very soon. All in all, after 36 years on the road, it's survived remarkably well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is spotless; the seats, doorcards, roof lining, dash and carpets are all in exceptional condition. Nothing is electric; manual windows front and back and manual mirrors. You also don't get a rev counter, but you do get a lovely little clock instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1.1 is punchy and revvy, and thanks to its rebuilt carb, it's running like a dream too. Unlike many AXs, this is also a factory 5-speed manual, so you have a bit more top-end power for motorways, and it happily cruises along at 70, meaning it can play with modern traffic without being too much of a liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing this AX will do, is get attention wherever it goes. It's a great-looking little motor, and those ever-so-80s boxy lines and shape edges mean nothing else looks like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of car that deserves to be cared for, and any retro French car enthusiast will undoubtedly fall in love with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTickets will launch on August 22nd and the LIVE draw will be on Sunday 27th September 2026 at 8:30pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e31 TICKETS SOLD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTICKETS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLee Davies 01\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esimon vallis-ridler 02\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSamuel Allan 03\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Harland 04\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMICHAEL STANLEY 05\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMICHAEL STANLEY 06\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePascal Smith 07\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinley Plympton 08\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinley Plympton 09\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKyle Griffiths 10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn King 11\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinley Plympton 12\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinley Plympton 13\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Wood 14\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Butler 15\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Butler 16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAaron Grant 17\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Terzza 18\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emartin heslam 19\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIan Chambers 20\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIan Chambers 21\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Peter 22\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emartin clark 23\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCraig Chorley 24\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eevie atkins 25\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhil Webb 26\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhil Webb 27\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTim Cooper 28\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDarren Best 29\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMr G A Hambleton 30\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGary Beynon 31\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craptical Classics","offers":[{"title":"French","offer_id":53862155190619,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jamaican","offer_id":53862155223387,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Scandinavian","offer_id":53862155256155,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/3944\/6363\/files\/9D11467E-F531-4ADB-8038-BC77C3AEC5A9.png?v=1787405723","url":"https:\/\/crapticalclassics.myshopify.com\/products\/1989-citroen-ax-1-1tre","provider":"Craptical Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
