After a while of looking and pondering various options, I finally got my hands on one!
Forum member Daisy kindly responded to my wanted add with info of a listing in her local paper, and what a cracker it is. It's a BX 17 TZD that's been very well looked after and although it has been to the moon and back and is suffering from some lacquer peel i reckon it'll make the perfect loveable workhorse. The vender was the perfect gent, it has to be said.
Et voila:
And he she is back home with the other members of my fleet:
The journey homeward went well and I've only got a couple of niggles- A clicky speedo will need to be looked at and I need to source some suitable wheel trims and front speaker grills. All in all, I'm very happy indeed.
Got one! Bx 17 TZD Estate

Welcome to the mad house of BX ownership. (I mean BX club ).
That colour of green is a nice one, especially on a BX. Before I got mine I was thinking of getting a green one, but out of the two I looked at, the one I bought was a better car.
