BX's in France

Just a few of the BX's I spotted in France:

A tidy Cottage at Salbris

A 14TE in Amiens

Just one of the Valvers spotted at Salbris

Another Valver

Image Break - These seem to be a mix of TG Equipment, but with higher spec upholstry, although I'd by happy for someone to correct me

Side view of the Image Break - Image badge is fitted on the C pillar at the bottom of the black section

Image Hatch spotted on the way back through France - the wreck parked next to it is mine!

These badges were a topic for discussion a few weeks ago. This Image Hatch had them on both wings!

One of 2 BX Sports I spotted - This one was on the edge or Orleans

BX of indeterminate model in Amiens.

A couple of pics didn't upload properly onto Photobucket, so I'll try again, particularly as they include a Sport for sale!

I also have various pics of other models such as CX, LN, Fire Engines etc. if anyone's interested.

Great pics. Good to see so many BXs still rolling. Was this some special Citroen gathering?
Nice green GS you've got too and yes, lets's have some more pics!

..presumably for those who wish to combine the delights of dogging and cottaging...

...whatever they may be...

Nice pics! Notice the first of the Sports is sitting on a flat front tyre - hope it's not abandoned. (Not because I couldn't bear to see one abandoned, but because it's too far away for me to go and 'rescue' it...!).

While I'm on, I have a new old stock rear wing for a GS (or is it GSA) break lurking in the barn – yours if you want it.

Probably not flat, just running Michelins & the camera angle. The front Michelins always "squidge" on the BX even when properly inflated to 32psi.

It's in a hole by the look of it. Anyway, more interestingly, I wonder if there's a How many left?-type website in France???

Perhaps combien d'autres?

I reckon that tyre is OK - it's only gone flat at the bottom.

Just a small get together of 2cv's - 7034 vehicles booked in, and that probably doesn't inlcude the couple of hundred that were camped on the roadside outside!

Yes please

! The pic was definately her best angle, as it shows off the NOS tailgate I fitted last year. Both rear wings have had local repairs done, but as this one is a keeper I'm always on the lookout for spare panels in case they're needed.

I'll sort some more pics out, but may star a new thread elsewhere for some of the non-BX pics that may be of interest.

OK, it's yours. Not sure how to get it to you though. Can drop it off near Leicester at some point if that's any help. Or Dorset?
Don't know if you remember, but I was after a Land Rover a while back - one found me eventually. SIII LWB. Very straight and original, but chassis needs work. Currently lurking at a mate's house in Dorset until I work out a way to get it trailered over here.
