Featured in a "Classic and Sportscar" magazine 4x4 shootout, 55000miles with original bill of sale showing extras like cost of its aircon and that the p/ex was a metalic blue 19GT.
Few jobs still to do but coming on.

Think i might hire a truck to get them all to Wetherby?

Its got 16v wheels,interior and spheres but although there new i dont much care for the ride. Might change them for normal spheres if i cant get used to them. Didnt realise just how different underneath they are compared to 2WD models.A whole new learning curve.Tiny bit of surface rust inside o/s/r door opening but so minor just needs touching up.Over 15k when new these babies according to sales invoice!

Seen that car a few years back, it was lovely, but as you say has had some 16v bits added on.

Very nice. How many does that make? You'll have to get a 16v now to complete the whole BX range!

Better look after it Richard...

And remember to swap the stereo wires to L+R aren't front to back.

(thanks Simran)

Me too! I'm looking forward to seeing it very much. It's pretty high up the "perfect BX" stakes in my book.

Havnt looked at clutch yet but not smoking at all now. Maybe coz it was stood with crappy petrol etc.
