BX14 TRE 1990 - with a sunroof

Post by Mike Holdstock »

Could this be unusual? Swedish reg, you can just see the sunroof on the top picture at

Asking price is about £1200, would you believe.

Bit of an oddball spec, has the headlamp washers though and also the same interior I am after a set of headrests for.

Looks in very good condition, inside & out. No idea about price, is that high where you are? In the UK that would be considered expensive, however bx prices are on the up & a decent one these day's is pretty rare.

..rather expensive pair of headrests....

I think all the Swedish reg BX had headlamp washers.

Found 5 headrests on the Swe scrapyard lists, sent out a request for anyone having anything in the material as the ad. Price about £8 each (plus some freight...) - any interest if I find anything?

Link to their English page here
http://en.bildelsbasen.se/
and the headrests are at

Yes Mulley, it does look nice - and is definately at the top end of the price scale but failrly low mileage (abt 110000 miles). The whole range of BX in Sweden currently available on the local ebay (but not an auction - wadya call that?) at http://www2.blocket.se/adwatch/list/0?sp=1 but that'll probably need my cookie.
Anyway - from a grubby Gti with abt 120000 miles for £130 at
http://www.blocket.se/uppsala/Citroen_B ... m?ca=7&w=3
to a really super recon valver with all the bells and whistles for £1500 abt 150000 miles at
http://www.blocket.se/lund/Citroen_BX_1 ... w=3&last=1

Includes a valver with broken fule pipe (unreg, untax, no MOT) for £200 and the black valver I have an eye on for £420

Just to give you an idea.

Most are around £400-600, 80% are petrol. It is beginning to be noticeable that the places in the country where they do not use salt in the winter (far North, far South) are the places where BX's are coming from, increasingly.

The guys checked their stock against the picture. No match, I'm afraid.

I'll keep my eyes open.

Have a look at this one
http://en.bildelsbasen.se/?index=defaul ... d=15534067

picture nr 4. - is this what you are looking for?

They are trying to sell off the complete interior in an 88 BX16 with an ok motor but def g/b - I could ask them if they are inted of parting with the headrests on their own - or you could actually, most of these guys speak English. No proce being quoted for anything at the moment, and this is the only complete interior. Headrests otherwise about £8 + freight etc.
Low mileage - it claims to have done only about 80000 miles/125000 kim.
