We are delighted to offer this very appealing 1999 Citroën Saxo VTS Mk1, one of the most sought after modern hot hatches of its era and one that has developed an increasingly strong following among enthusiasts.

The Mk1 / Phase 1 VTS is widely regarded as the purest and most desirable version of the Saxo performance range, prized for its lighter, simpler feel and unmistakably early styling. Compact, light and sharp to drive, the VTS earned its reputation thanks to its lively 1.6-litre 16-valve engine, eager handling and genuine back-road character, making it one of the defining hot hatches of the late 1990s.

Finished in Silver with a grey cloth interior, this example presents in very good condition and displays just 39,535 miles, an unusually low figure for a Saxo VTS. Particularly impressive is the ownership history, with the first owner retaining it until 2023, something rarely seen on performance hatchbacks of this type.

The Saxo has had three former keepers and is accompanied by a useful history file including past MOT certificates, several invoices, and the original Citroën book pack with all books present. Within the last 5,000 miles, and over the past two years, it has benefited from a full service, new clutch kit, and replacement cambelt and water pump, all of which add reassurance for the next owner.

Saxo VTS models, particularly early Mk1s, have become increasingly hard to find in unspoilt, low mileage condition, with many having been modified, used hard or simply lost over time. As such, well-kept examples now represent a rare opportunity to acquire one of the standout hot hatches of its generation.

A very attractive and increasingly collectible Mk1 VTS, combining low mileage, long-term early ownership and desirable recent maintenance.
