Alas, I cant say I hanker after either car, but nicely worded, and fair prices.
Good luck chap!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

As you pointed out mate, the easiest and most cost effective way to put the power to the right wheels and an engine behind you is to drive a BX in reverse :P

Amen bro!
Speaking of which, I've got a shiny stripped D6C head stripped down here, I'll be building it up over the next few weeks. IE when it gets too cold to weld rusty valvers up the farm. :wink:

Im not sure I like the MR2, and I dont know why, as they are cracking cars to drive. A friend of mine bought one for £800. It had no service history and 170,000 miles, but the drive is fantastic. Its the only car I have driven that makes you want to put the power down through the corners, and the feedback through the steering is very well keyed in to the handling and original tyres. I wouldnt want to drive any great distance on a motorway in them though, as the steering really is made for steering, and feels too light and dodgy at fast motorway speeds. This one looks like a far better buy for the money.
