Citroen Xsara VTS
This car was bought by our managing
director late in 2005 to turn into a multi-purpose competition car. Many parts
are common with the popular Peugeot 306 GTi which means there are plenty of
parts and tricks out there which will work on this car.
In 2007 this car was used for a
number of sprints and races.
In 2008 it was used for an AutoSolo
whilst undergoing development.
During following years it will be further
developed to make it faster and more competitive.
Extra excitement will come at a
later date, if the car survives, when we take it tarmac rallying!
