    I’m by no means a Citroen fanboy, but I’d do anything to see them making cars like the C1, C2, Saxo etc again. It’s so sad that they’ve moved away from small cars and only make horrible crossovers etc.

      They're all doing crossovers now, even Skoda and Seat have started, and they used to be the kings of reliable saloons and hatchbacks. I feel sometimes like I@m the only person in the room saying, "hang on, this is just a jeep shpaed golf!"

      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

    I knew she'd clean up just fine for you Matt ;). That runaway revving was the ECU needing a restart after battery going flat. Theres a weird little key turning trick but it seemed turning it off and on a few times did the job. Super stoked that you've given it a new lease of life anyway, it looks awesome and good luck to the new owner. PS if the new owner wants the original radio and owners manual just get in touch. Found them in my loft after she'd already gone.

      Hi! Yes, it's the ORIGINAL ENGINE! It also has the original gearbox and had the original clutch until December 2022! This car came to us from an elderly relative when it was five years old and had done only 7500 miles. This relative had had Ford do all the time-interval servicing, and so few engines have had such a wonderful running in. We have had everything repaired as it has gone wrong, and the car drives perfectly. Nothing rattles. Nothing feels tired. It is our only car and is regularly trusted with very long journeys. Unfortunately, the body has been a problem in recent years requiring a lot of welding which we have felt was worthwhile!@@Josh-qm4rb

    Major throwback
    My very first car was a silver 53 plate 1.1 desire.
    Bought it for £350, it had a weeks MOT left on it, only done 32k miles, owner thought it was going to fail, it passed with one advisory being a tyre.
    Sold it a year later for £500.
    It was hands down the most reliable car I owned. And probably the most fun for chucking around corners like the little go kart it was 😂

    @snbala 11 месяцев назад +64

    These are a very rare sight, as you say they were everywhere once. I think these were offered with free insurance back in the day hence they were popular with young drivers and obviously modified them as there were a lot of parts available for the Saxo. I did spot the timing belt cover is missing and it’s exposed though.
    Basic motoring is sometimes nice, less to go wrong. Great you have kept this one going and once again a great video too.

      I bought 2 of these for my sons with free insurance; far cheaper to buy new Saxos than buy insurance for young people. We continued this system by buying 2 new Peugeot 306 D Turbos; great cars and you see loads still in France today but few in the UK - why? I think we all know why.

    A really good car for someone. I hope they cherish it and treat the small amount of rust with a liquid curing compound, then give it two coats of touchup and one of lacquer to seal the paint. Personally, I'd do the entire floorpan with Hammerite underseal with added waxoyl as well. Most cars never need be scrapped for want of a bit of care.

    Ah yes the pedal box. I recall that from my Peugeot 106. A great little car at the time. Speaking of the Ford Puma, the blob, not the cool coupe, had the unfortunate experience of travelling in one recently and realised that the roof drops at such an angle that you feel like you are being crushed. Saxo for £1,300 or new Puma on finance, the little French car might get the job! Thank you.

      I've got a diesel ZX estate, beautiful car inside, very very comfortable, and far better than a Saxo in the fact that if you crash it you might actually stand a chance of surviving!

    I had a saxo vtr as my first car. Back in the day i thought it was rapid. Eventually the head gasket went, as most of them did. Loved that car, like really loved it. Id definitely have another, just to remember the feeling of feeedom and joy it gave me.

    I know you didn't make much profit on that one Matt, but what a cracking little car - a nice cheap first car for someone. Good Saxos are rare now - it may even be brought by a classic car enthusiast. I attended a brilliant car show a couple of weeks ago called "Festival of the Unexceptional". Ordinary bog standard old cars that haven't been souped up. Your Saxo would be an ideal candidate for such shows. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting.

    My Brother, Nephew and I went along to Loton Park hillclimb last weekend. I was quite surprised to see a lot of ‘90s Saxos, Clios and Corsas taking part amongst the exotica. There’s clearly a demand for a ‘90s boy racer competition car even now!

    I totally agree with what you said about when you get back into an older car. I have a 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Ghia which I just adore. It's so tiny and nippy and FUN.

    I had 2 Citroen ZXs, a 3dr 1.4 and 1.8 Furio, a Zsara 2.0 HDI and a C2 VTS. The Zsara was the biggest disappointment. Painfully slow compared to a 1.9TD. The C2 was more fun than people give credit for, but when I borrowed the parent's second car, a well looked after Saxo 1.1 Eastcoast, I could not believe how bad the brakes were! Nor could I have coped with the tiny, offset to the left pedal box, if it had been my own. (it had to be that way to make space for the wheel arch!) Anyway, as fun as it was, the C2 was to be my last Citroen. Very cheap materials, fairly well put together. It was never going to last though.

      Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
      There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
      Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
      Come to Jesus Christ today
      Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
      Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
      Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
      Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
      Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    Yep, my 21st birthday present was a new Y reg Saxo VTR in black. Loved it. As you’d guess, I crashed it 18 months later when I went over a steep canal bridge too quickly and all 4 wheels lost contact the road. Got a very dodgy repair done in Stockport and then 3 months later some lad who pulled a women out of her car at some traffic lights in Manchester rammed me off the road and that was the end of my VTR. A sad day indeed 😢

    My father in law brought a gold Saxo with gold trims gold bits everywhere inside it, it was awful the gear knob used to fall off and the breaks were non existent did I mention he was in his 60s at the time, bless him he loved it until the mot condemned it. The memories of that & the mention of Gavin & Stacey & The Royal Family in one video has really made me laugh I loved this video. Glad the little saxo lived to see another day and you got a little bit of profit. Seems like little cars are what everyone wants currently so should sell quickly ❤
