one of these days i'm going to get me an as-new, low mileage minter of a BX with a biblical service history and love it like they are supposed to be loved. I am obviously living in the wrong era.
It is arguable though, it does take more love to maintain a relationship with a car with issues. As with people.

Max, the minter 'grandad' BXs are still turning up. There was that Mk.1 Leader here in the area two weeks ago - one grunter from new, clean as a whistle, €220 because the strut return was leaking!
Yesterday I saw on leboncoin.fr a 16TRS from 1985 35k on the clock, also one owner from new, full service history.
I think my favourite was that 16v that was for sale a couple of years ago on Guernsey where the speed limit is 35mph. It had probably never been out of second gear, belonged to a doctor, 35k - absolute minter. No idea what happened to that.
I'm quite happy to have a BX that is road legal. My children make sure that any car interior will be redecorated. Luckily in the BX owner's handbook there's advice on how to remove a whole range of stains from upholstery!

that's the kinda thing i'm looking for.a 16TRS from 1985 35k
Ours too, that's why i'm happy having a slightly scruffy BX as a runabout. I'd like the good one in the garage though for special occasions. Not that i have a garage.My children make sure that any car interior will be redecorated

i guy i know here recently sold a very nice 23 DS Safari to a guy in Guernsey and when he put up his pride and joy DS 23EFi DS manual for sale, the same guy bought it. both for around 12000 euro i think. Those channel islands must be riddled with classic cars, can't you just imagine it?
