Parting with BX diesel (17RD)

Folks - after such low usage during last 12 months its looking increasingly likely I might need it after all - so probably best to stick to the devil I know. Thanks to those who expressed an interest
----------------------------------

Anyone interested in a 1987 BX (17RD). Have had it from new, 272000 miles
(nearly all motorway).
MOT'd till 22/09/11. Generally well looked after, treated with waxoyl for many years.
Two current problems :-
1. Hydrolic suspension leak (no surprises there)
2. Rain gets into front passenger footwell.

Last MOT failed on front spheres and a split velocity joint gaiter
(both fixed) with no advisory items, this was 541 miles ago at time
of writing. Price £100 ono.

Tax expires 31/07/11 and insurance 2/8/11 so would prefer not to
renew if possible.

Thats quite an early Mk2 and getting rare nowadays, Dollywobbler?

Whoever wants it had better be quick! mind you it's probably already gone by now

Hello all
The car is based in Walsall West Midlands. I went out in it yesterday and took some photos which I could email if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the thought Tim, but count me out on this one. I'm committed to the folly of a Mk1...

Sounds value - bit of leak hunting and presumably a bit of bulkhead patching by the sound of it.

Doesnt look half bad at all, I know adamski BX is after a runabout so I will stand down this time and give him first dibs.
