I very very rarely see a BX now. I probably see more BXs than Xm and Xantias are still fairly popular, but BXs are dying out it seems.
There is a D reg running around here, its red but the bottom half seems to have been hand painted black, along with the bumpers :lol:

We used to look after a fantasticaly mint, one lady owner J reg 16 Athena in gold, it was in brilliant condition. Last year the owner sold it on, i last saw it with a huge scrub down the side and ive never seen it again, scrappage scheme maybe :(

Spotted two in the last six months I hadn't seen before, both on motorways.
There used to be loads round here but only really see one 'regular' spot round the corner and that's about it.

Well Stroud in Gloucestershire must be the Mecca for BX's as before the break out of snow and cold weather I regularly saw at least 5 or 6 different ones driving around :) c'mon Stroud :-) and quite often get a wave too.

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...

I see one BX (other than mine) regularly in and around Chelmsford now, whereas three years ago I saw five more... I guess it reflects the rather surprisingly (or so it seems) rapid drop off in BX appearances nationally!

This doesn't help the cause at all, aparently around December last year a BX in Chorley went, under the scrappage scheme.

26,000 miles on the clock I think, showroom condition, what a waste. :(

The numbers are dwindling in Preston but have been steady for a while, boosted just recently by a lovely looking new BX added to the Preston fold, not far from us.

Now have 5 known BX's within a quarter mile radius.

Howarth's Citroen Garage still keeps churning them out though, always see BX's turning up there I've never seen before so I'm sure if we ever wanted another one hopefully it wouldn't be to hard to find a good one.
