Drives well but failed MOT because of corrosion and fluid leaks. Was thinking of getting it scrapped but thought if it's of interest to anyone who likes BX cars, worth posting here. Would have got it fixed but I don't want to drive a car in London anymore.
It's been a lovely car with huge boot.

90 quid

Never even seen one listed in a brochure so cant have made them for very long, always the leader was 14E based! or as a 1.9D on the continant.

Anyone?

DVLA probably based details on the car itself being RE based, insurance companies will do this for certain models, usually for special editions. So if a special edition was based on a RE model the insurance group would base a premium on the RE model and perhaps load it slightly for the premium. I'd say the DVLA do this just for convienience.
