White BX wanted
White BX wanted for the Challenge next year. I want to doll it up a bit with lots of art, so white's what I need This is in case the GS isn't ready (or we don't want to take it)... And I need to do this to get it off my chest.
Ideally a decent TZD Turbo but a GTi 8v would do the trick. No rush, as I will not be able to buy it until July onwards.

I have a white BX.... Admittedly a comparatively thirsty, admittedly scruffy and presently somewhat leaky one....

I did actually think about it! But, in reality I think it has to be diesel for day-to-day use. If I did pick (now there's a luxury we no longer seem to have) a petrol - I'd want a be-spoilered 8v of the 'RLO' ilk (for those who don't know F***RLO -'king Rollo was a bit of an 8v legend) or a very late 8v GTi. I did consider a Ph.1 16v but they're rare enough even if you don't facor in reliability on a 2000 mile foreign adventure .

At present the only challenge my BX is fit for is Scrapheap Challenge
At least the CX 22TRS should soon be on the road (retest planned for tomorrow) and then I can concentrate on the BX again.

You're welcome to have it back if you want?
I know a great guy who wants it, and he messes around with old busses at the weekend. (not the Doc!). And he rebuilds K-series engines for fun
Also, I think James Cartledge wanted it, as it is his old car. No shortage of buyers for it!
As it stands, neither of them are for sale yet, but I can only lavish so much money and attention on both of them. It would be better to just have one nice one.
