BX SPORT from Madrid

Post by BX-SPORT » Fri Aug 30, 2013 8:38 am

Hello to all!

My name is Fernando and I am from Madrid, Spain. This one is my BX SPORT 1986. He is in original condition. In Spain there exist few units of this model specially in this color. I wait to learn very much in this forum with all of you.
Is possible to see photos of BX SPORT in UK?

One word: WOW! That's a very beautiful car you have there Fernando and a very warm welcome to BXCUK. As others have pointed out, the BX Sport was never sold in this country - much to everyone's disappointment - so it'll be great to hear more about you car. A word of warning: we WILL be jealous! :D

Lovely car apart from the steering wheel being on the wrong side ;-)

Indeed, RHD sports weren't possible due to the reworked head and carb/exhaust set up fouling the steering column.

No RHD factory cars at all - I think there were one or two DIY conversions though - Australian I think. If you win the lottery Kevan that's probably not going to be a problem. :D

As Tim says - twin (?) carb/exhaust set up which meant they couldn't be converted to RHD.

That looks like original paint to me - I dunno' it just looks . . . original. :D
