Its a CX GTi 2.5 Turbo 2. They are getting increasingly rare and expensive. Youd pay anything up to 5,000+ for a decent one with the leather interior atm.
Officially the power was quoted at something like 160-170bhp. Theyre more like 190 - classic car mags regularly get 190+ out of them.

Exactly. Radio is also to be found by the handbrake, indicators, lights and wipers are all on the dash and there is enough room in back for a tennis match. Dash will take some getting used to - looks something like this

IIRC clarkson reviewed some new citroen type thing like that & was dissapointed that the indicators werent on the celing & the doors didnt slide open or something along those lines
seems like that thing is a bit of a classic

its considered to be a design classic. Its mental, but they are very collectable purely because no bugger bought them new.
