What i'm looking for is a tidy 14 with a decent history for under £1k. I'm not fussed about spec levels, even the most basic would make me happy
Any help is much appreciated!

Welcome Chris have you seen/spotted this thread

http://bxclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php ... ht=#110387
If its still available check it out ! But for an extra £195 I'd rather had bought this:-

Being much older the insurance/running costs is not an issue for me ! But as the "Saying goes we all have to start some where"
(Sometimes I wonder

how I managed to buy, insure and run my 1st Triumph Stag which was only 3 years old and
a 6 month old Honda CB400 - Four motorbike back in 1977)

Best regards and all the best in your

search/purchase.

Yes i saw that thread about the phase 1 bx14. i am looking for something il be able to jump straight into and not worry about it packing up...a bit ambitious maybe for a bx

the 16v would be so nice....so very nice..but the insurance is £500 more than the 14 lol

This is really unhelpful but there's four BX14s for sale on German Ebay at the moment including a Mk.1 Leader with a buy it now of €400 and another that has been sprayed a rather stealth looking matt black!

But I don't suppose you fancy a holiday to Germany nor a left hooker as your first car do you? ( How old are you by the way, I understood from your original question that you were 10 but 10 year olds can't drive anything except tractors legally - maybe not tractors either in Uk!)

Hope you find something suitable.

Probably better off getting RHD, otherwise your brain will be wired the wrong way round

I imagine a BX 19D and a 16 would be about the same insurance group wouldnt they?

Tourist · Post by **Tourist** » Thu May 14, 2009 2:33 pm

The TD is group 8, so I'd imagine the 19D is group 7. Sounds about right for a 16 petrol aswell.

1.4 is group 5

1.6 is group 8

1.7D is group 7

1.9D/17TD is 8

The GTi is shown as Group 14. BUT interestingly these groups never seem to appear on the Insurance paperwork that you get so maybe there is some discretion of interpretation between insurance assessments for the car. After all I seem to get a good rate on my insurance.

One will come along, it's just a matter of waiting.

I think classic insurance works different I pay the same for the 16TRS as I do the GT, and only £20 more from the 16v which is group 15!
