Nope. It's been sold apparently. Not sure if it's actually been collected yet mind.

Did the seller disclose any names?

All appears a bit covert if it is indeed a member here. C'mon reveal yourself! ( my money's still on R of Y - he's been a bit quiet recently and he hasn't said it isn't him)

From the conversation Richard and I had 2 weeks ago when he collected my BX, I'd doubt it, but we haven't spoken since.

Hmm, I dont doubt it, we may be doing him a disservice, but to deliberatly jump the que when others are interested is not on. But then again this conversation has been presented before. I imagine all will be quiet from a certain someone?

If I may just play devilsn advocate for a moment, whilst I appreciate that some folk get a bit pissed off when others (that may perhaps have some dispensible income) buy up the cheapies, do some work on them and then flog'em on for a profit-surely just the fact that they're being saved has to be a bonus here?

Add to that the time and effort of collection and the work to put them back on the road........

I see this argument in 2CV circles, moreso really as their values are seemingly quite ridiculous these days (hence I went to France to buy my Ami-import and registration couldn't have been easier) but surely the time and effort required to save and recomission a BX can't leave someone with an awful lot of profit?

Like I say, devils advocate..............

True

There is no harm in making a profit (its what I do day to day), but if a genuine enthusiast wants to buy a car but gets beaten too it buy someone else who hoovers up all the available ones because they are well a bit greedy its not fair to deprive them, for it then to reappear a few months later at a price they cant afford?

But as yet we dont know who owns this car, time will tell.

Don't tell me, it's buggered and needs a total re-pipe so you're going to 'graciously' pass it on now you've got that Grandad coveted GT. I could be wrong but I could be right?

Dollywobbler · Post by **Dollywobbler** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:23 pm

Pm replied. To be fair, however you look at it, the GT seems the better car - though no guarantee that the GT isn't also hanging and leaking. I'm keeping an open mind, for now.

Any update on this one?

Dollywobbler · Post by **Dollywobbler** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 4:02 pm

Nope. Chap selling the car (who isn't the one who owns it but his neighbour) has been away apparently. Hoping to hear something in the next day or two.
