DIEHARD ◊ 2006-11-02 08:30	How do you know it is a 14? It could be a 16RS or a 19D too...
sixcyl ◊ 2006-11-02 09:31	the 16 and then 19 had a black stripe with little window on the rear panels
bref ◊ 2006-11-02 09:37	Little window on 16 TRS only, 16 RS didn't have one, like 14 E and RE. According to wheel cover, I believe it is a 16 RS

If the window surroundings are black, it is most likely a 16RS or 14RE, but I am not sure if that is the case with this photo. If they are not black, it is most likely a 19D (this was also without the window in the c style). Also it has a long hood, some BX'es had an extra grille under the lowest part of the hood, just above the bumper. But I did have to check which types it had for this year... -- Last edit: 2006-11-02 10:01:48
bref ◊ 2006-11-02 10:02	No wheel cover on 14, just a black cap to cover the nuts, large wheel cover on all 16. My knowledge stop with petrol version

bref ◊ 2006-11-02 10:13	My father had a 14RE, bought new in April 1983 with no wheel cover (just the black cap à la BX or BX 14E). There is a picture in the "Salon de l'Auto" 1984 page 51 with a 14RE and no wheel cover. One clue on the car pictured, is that there is a second door mirror, not available on all version

One clue on the car pictured, is that there is a second door mirror, not available on all version I did not know the 14RE came with the basic wheel cover. Perhaps it was in 1983 only? Later versions had I believe the same wheel covers as all the other types. I had a BX14E from 1988, which had them also. The second rearview mirror indeed indicates it is not a bx14, as that version did not have it. It was an option on a 14E, so that could be it. But then again, this has black window surroundings and I believe that was only on the 14RE and 16RS. So I agree with you this is most likely a BX16RS

First BX came with 4 wheels and a steering wheel They probably changed quickly the equipment...Anyway, definitly a Citroën when it came out...I remember the 1983 only Yellow or Green BX...Only one green was sold in Bordeaux area (a 16 if my memory is good) and 2 or 3 yellow 14!!!

It sure was a nice Citroën, especially the type 1. My father had a 1985 19D It is funny you mention those colours, that green was very rare, I have seen only one in my life...a great car...
tore-40 ◊ 2012-06-17 14:09	Agree with 16, 14s had body colored door frames
Weasel1984 ◊ 2014-04-12 20:37	tore-40 wrote Agree with 16, 14s had body colored door frames The 14 RE already had black ones. Looks these wheels (which we see on the main pic) were 14 RE extra option since begining (see the link again). -- Last edit: 2014-04-12 20:45:54

The sole green I saw (vert Tuilleries)(I don't mean the metallic one!) was in Paris in the Citroën showroom at the Champs Elysées in February 1983. I never saw a single yellow one if I remember well.
