Well its still for sale and a 205 enthusiast is trying to buy it for the engine and box only so it looks like another 16v is going to be broken upfor its engine as noones going to buy it!!!!!!!

Come on guys theres got to be someone out there who wants it

This upsets me - but if I'm not in a position to buy another BX who am I to expect another Club member to fork out.

BUT C'MON you tight gits!

Not good but what can be done, if no one buys it to use as is the seller just wants a sale.

When i sold my old red 16v a few months ago i was lucky to find a BX enthusiast buyer, it was mainly 205 guys enquiring though.

I know what you mean Philip, i went through a phase of trying to save everything i could but in the long run it didnt work, you end up with loads of crap that never gets done. (see my list of stuff below)

Folks,
Car has been bought, by myself, not quite my plan but you know how it is

Not sure what i'm going to do with it though, if it turns out better than my black 16v i'll keep it and make one really nice car from the two. All just idea's at the moment.

Wll done Jezzie on saving it, am hoping that both cars are good enough and you wont break either of them

Jezzie 16v · Post by **Jezzie 16v** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 1:37 pm

Tim,
both these cars are reasonable mate, easy enough to keep both going but the only reason i bought the silver one was to give it a fighting chance of survival as IMHO its far to good to break.
I pick it up on Wednesday and after that i will compair the two. But knowing that mine needs a bit of welding here and there surely it will be better if i keep the best of the bunch

, but hopefully neither of them will meet a sticky end.

Its easy enough to save cars

the hard part is finding them a new and loving home

Very true mate and hats off to you for saving the grey one, one day these will be recognised as classic cars and coverted by not the od few of us!
