Am I seeking the impossible? Seven seat conversions required
Am I seeking the impossible? Seven seat conversions required
As above, seven seat convserion to suit BX estate. I`ve seen a seven seat BX advertsied before so they must have made one! Any colour trim as long as supplied with belts and ideally fitments (bolts etc). Will collect or arrange courier to pick up.
Anyone any ideas of any other rear seat conversions that may fit? I`m going to try and find a 240 Volvo and measure those up to see if they`ll go in without too much trouble.

A BX Familiale ? - or BX Safari ?
Never seen/heard of it. Must be the CX or even the DS that cheats your memory
These had the genuine second rear seats bank.

This month's "Car Mechanics" has a 7-seater article, in which they have the grace to say that the CX Familiale and its Gallic cousins beat the crap out of most people-carriers when it comes to utility in the 7-and-even-8 seat role.
There may be a link for conversion kits there too, as the Montego in converted form gets a 7-seater mention.

That's definately NOT a 7-seater, but a 5-seater + 2 schild seats
Note that the CX & DS had the GENUINE 7-seater option, with tha extra rearmost seatbank pointing forwards, and accessible through the side doors, not the rear hatch door.
As did the Peugeot505 Familiale.

Thankyou people! I did definately see a 7 seat BX estate in Auto Trader about 6 months ago but couldn`t raise the money in time. It was only £350 with a long ticket as well, gutted. It may well have been, of course, a conversion as opposed to factory fitted. Cheers for the link to the site offering them for the BX, I might give them a call if I can get the money. Meanwhile I`m e-mailing from eBay who have them for other cars to get the dimensions and see if I reckon I can get them in my estate. That would be a real bonus if I can as I manage my lad`s football team and I`m forever giving lifts to kids with lazy parents!

Didn't the Austin Montego have those as a factory option aswell?

Not even seven years yet! Must be scope for something more archaeological than that...Mickey taker wrote:just seen this while doing a search for couriers !!!

On the subject of 7-seaters, I learnt to drive in a 7-seat Peugeot 504 Estate, usually full of people and with at least four racing bikes on the roof. That lot, with L-plates - I tell you, people did tend to get out of the way!
1990 BX TZD Estate ('the grey one', 1991 BX TZD Estate ('the white one'), 1982 2CV6 Charleston (in bits), 1972 AZU Serie B (2CV van), 1974 HY72 Camper, 1990 Land Rover 110 diesel LWB, 1957 Mobylette AV76, 1992 Ducati 400SS, 1966 VW Beetle, 1990 Mazda MX-5, 1996 Peugeot 106D, 1974 JCB 2D MkII, 1997 BMW R1100RS, 1987 Suzuki GSX-R1100, 1978 Honda CX500A, 1965 Motobecane Cady, 1988 Honda Bros/Africa Twin, 1963 Massey Ferguson 825, and a lot of bicycles!
Re: Am I seeking the impossible? Seven seat conversions requ
Yes, I've got the 7 seat conversion for the BX, bought from a bloke near Bath a few years ago. It's actually pretty useless - it renders the boot defunct, it's only suitable for small children and there's no seat belts. I've used it once or twice..
My Dad had a Peugeot 504 estate too with the three rows of seats and that was great, real.. workhorse ( one of my favourite words)
