The Appeal

Lighter than a Mini Cooper, infused with the DNA of that king of hot hatches, the Peugeot 205, and rarer than either, the AX Sport is the hidden gem amongst classic accessible, everyday drivers’ cars.

The one to have is this one, with the peppy TU2 1.3L motor. To that compelling mix this 1990 car adds a host of factory options including polished four spoke alloys, rear spoiler and velour seats.

It is in incredible, timewarp condition. That is thanks to its low mileage - just 97,300 documented kilometers from new - and its keepers’ decision to retain its factory original finish. It arrives on the market with recent service and new driveshafts and a long, advisory-free Portuguese Technical Inspection.

This is an incredible little car that is as good to look at as it surely will be to drive.
