You're fucking shitting us man?!
No way...
Christ.
£750's the bargain of teh decade.
This car is a gem. Needs a cut on the fresh paint but otherwise it's a gem.
One of the best idling valvers I've ever heard.
Mate, are you really sure, I mean credit cards, mortgages... who needs a house? Really!
Gutted for you...
If I hadn't just spent rather alot more than that on something ratjer much bigger I'd be ripping your bloody arm off for it, really I would.
In short. BARGAIN.

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

That must be the understatement of the year. So much work on it Jon.jonkw wrote:So I am having to reduce outgoings, this is a matter of much regret.
The credit crunch has now metamorphosed into the BX crunch.
I really feel for you. I would hate to sell any of my BXs, especially to raise some cash because the USA's banking system has put us all in this mess.
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

The P1 ran from 87-89 and then the P2 from 89-92/3, I imagine alot of the early ones have been donored by now.toddao wrote:Sorry to hear it Jon - after a winter's worth of work. Must be the best early 16v to be had anywhere. ( Why are the ph1's so scarce when there were so many more made than the Ph2?)
Hope something comes up for you to prevent this happening

Jon, it's not much help to you, but I'd really love that car, and take good care of it.
Unfortunately, I'm now working all hours to make good money I'm still owed and haven't got a penny to spare. the credit crunch has got me too.
But, on the bright side, there's a couple of people over here who are well impressed with GRX and I'll call them tomorrow and see what we can arrange. That way at least I can keep my eye on the car.

I didn't think we had the UK numbers for the P1 and P2 valvers ? I know the overall production figures are well publicised though.Roverman wrote:The P1 ran from 87-89 and then the P2 from 89-92/3, I imagine alot of the early ones have been donored by now.toddao wrote:Sorry to hear it Jon - after a winter's worth of work.

The fact that the early modelks had uncoated pipes probably did not help the cause and the P2 styling and manner does fit better into the ordinary world.
Sorry to hear you are parting company Jon but I am sure you will make sure it goes to a good home.
Cheers
