Chris your car is lovely ,
that green is really nice , probably the best colour for a BX,especially with that interior, all I think that needs is alloys and possibly the later 16 valve rear spoiler ( like the hurricane one people have said about ) if it would fit.

Now I know thats only the opinions of a girl but as rangebyte is a young man I should thinkl he would want to impress the girls

thanks also susan

It's most likely one split pipe, and nothing that serious. Even if it was something serious, that's what the club is here for.

Hi Rangebyte
I've PM'd you this new find that I've spotted on Auto trader.
I know it may be a good distance to where you live BUT if its the right car its worth traveling the distance unless you've got fixed up by now ?

It's not cheap at £1,295 BUT were could you find a MK 1 that's a 1 owner and only 25k on the clock.
Its an hatchback as can be sen from the photo's but the trader has stated it's an estate which would make worth every £ as that would be a very rare find in any engine/spec. in a MK1 guise !
A nice looking BX 14 in Silver which probably won't be for sale too long after this posting Dealer location is Gillingham ME7 1DQ.

I noticed it has the N/S/F wheel trim missing, if any one off the Forum buy's it I have a spare one (Same style as the N/S/R) PM me if you need it.
Good luck to whoever buy's it

There's something wrong with the listing of that BX, probably best to do a reg check before seeing.

rangebyte · Post by **rangebyte** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:17 pm

its got something on it, just did a free history check on the reg!

What do you mean?

rangebyte · Post by **rangebyte** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:55 pm

well my dads car which has a clean history came up with not being on the data base.

im guessing its either had a crash or been stolen at some point

Oh. I see. What database / search do you use?
