BX Meteor D for Spares/Repair - ....Sold now....
Hi All - I am selling my Meteor 1.9D for spares/repair as I don't have the time to fix it up before the MOT expires (June I think but will check tomorrow and also supply photo's ASAP)
Good Bits:
A1 engine, Suspension joints and an excellent drive.
Good body from a visual perspective (chip missing from tailgate corner though and a few minor scrapes on bumpers)
Bad Bits:
Broken rear quarter window in o/s door, new key or lock set required. (I would normally attack it in the known way and I couldn't do it with a branch of a tree or my fingers).
New ignition barrel required due to emergency break in.
Fuel pipes leaking slightly under drivers seat area.
New Octopus requires - Both large and small if that makes sense..
New front strut returns required.
Tailgate lock inop..There is a method to this until its fixed.
Syncromesh on 3rd gear is FUBAR.. It happened with no warning, I think from putting it into gear while still and the engine off, so might not be the syncro but some sort of selector arm.
Good seats and interior but will needd new lower shroud once a new ignition barrel is fitted.
Both front inner wings a bit soft in places.
One rear door shut has a hole in the usual place.
The rest of the underside is very good apart from a little boot floor rust where the rearmost exhaust hanger joins it.
Other points: It has a tow bar with twin electrics, a great clutch and excellent ride and handling.
Scrap value has got to be £100 - Can deliver depending on the area, possibly for free if London..

Do a search on the Dvla cherished number site for a similar reg number and see what it brings up , I don't know if you have another car to put the number on but I would definatly take it of the Bx for £80 , it does look too nice for scrap though , I put a cherished number on my 2006 Citroen Dispatch last year and with it being a very nice van it just finishes it of ,

What the DVLA have them for sale for isn't what you can sell one for, the DVLA won't buy it off you so unless you know how to contact loads of prospective buyers with those initials I fail to see how you could sell it.
Plus I think i'm right in saying the car has to be mot'd to do no.plate transfers which won't leave you much time.

I hate to say this but with the price of scrap so high it might be worth more s scrap rather than have all the hassle of selling it , someone at work weighed a pug 306 in and got iro £250 , personally I would retain the number , take any bits of and scrap it then let a number plate company advertise the plate if you don't want to keep it

Absolutely, no-one other than a BX'er will buy it on ebay in that condition IMO, so it probably won't sell for more than scrap value with/without plate. Google "car registration plates" and there are several. Some years ago I valued a 3 letter 3 number with "reg transfers" just to get a value (did not want to sell it) and occasionally (still) get reminders as well as (unasked for) plates to buy with my initials. But their emails are not frequent, not annoying.bxzx16v wrote:I hate to say this but with the price of scrap so high it might be worth more s scrap rather than have all the hassle of selling it , someone at work weighed a pug 306 in and got iro £250 , personally I would retain the number , take any bits of and scrap it then let a number plate company advertise the plate if you don't want to keep it

Seems a shame to scrap a car if all it needs a bit of welding doing to it, as the rest does look very tidy, remember, these beasts are getting rare so if they aren't saved now they'll be gone
