ooh - my first 'quote'.... no haven't driven one - unfortunately none to try. This will be an arranged marriage borne purely out of statistics and escalating fuel cost. I used to keep a shogun in reserve but never seemed to actually be in it when required - more frustrating than not having one.

I think you do not really need to justify owning any type or number of BXs.

We have pointed out the disadvantages, now you can go ahead and build/buy a crazy French 'up and down' car.

Say Hi to Roger for me.

I tried to buy this but couldn't get any pictures before auction end and wasn't prepared to travel without some indication it was ok first (£200 approx from Isle of Wight) - still on the lookout... this is no longer technical

I have 2 BX 4x4's and o have never driven a car that can ride over a ploghed field at 100mph and still be in full control. yes they are underpowered and would have been better to have 16v under the bonnet, but i am loving what it can do, anywhere in comfort.
i have changed one 2wd BX to 4x4 as i had to re shell one once. it was not to hard, i have all the original citroen genuine books for repair and maintanance. and it would be better if you had a BX 4x4 to rob the bits from. also i am writting a small book for my self to keep track of the parts that citroen say are no longer available and i find that parts from other car that you can make fit.
so dont listen to anybody else who says no it cant be done find a person who says yes i can. or do everything yourself.

Hi djm,

I would love to see a write up on this project at some stage, with lots of pictures! It's a shame we never got any 4x4 BX's, (or 405's for that matter) here in AUS.

Cheers,
Chris

Just search for BX GTi 4x4 on ebay. the silver 1992 on there is a peach. I'm tellin ya!!

That's probably the best place to start.

Did you ask me for more pictures?

It took me a bit to notice who'd started this thread.

If you asked me for pictures and I never delivered I must have scan read an email from you and missed it. I'll provide any pictures you want.

I've been a bit too busy to be selling a car of late..

trying to make ends meet and switching between the which ever vehicle is less broken at any given time to get to work - the transit or the bike. doing whatever temporary bodges I can afford to either as well.

The point being, I apologise if I ignored any request. I've got a less busy day tomorrow (after I take pictures of my bike for sale, try get a loan and fit a radiator in the van) so if you list what you want to see I'll take some pics. I'll take pics of any flaws I find to so you can assess it if you like.
Pics of the extrerior of the car never come out great because it's in a poorly lit carpark underground.

Hi Chris, I was referring to trying to buy the silver estate. I got your pics no problem - cheers.
