A few Citroen and Bx photos in the bottom half of the page and the Volvo Tundra has a Mk1 Bx look about it.

Another Bertone design with a decent hint of BX to it - the 1970s Reliant FW11 prototype...

Squint a bit and you'll see more than a hint of BX in a Skoda Favorit...
(admittedly, this shows a front end treatment I've not seen in the UK, but is even closer to a BX than what we got)

Both are Bertone designs, and if you look at the arrangement of lenses in the rear lamp clusters of a Favorit and a (pre-smoked) BX saloon...Dollywobbler wrote:Not sure about the Favorit link

Many years ago i had a Favorit GLXIXILGXIIIILX estate in "hairy vomit green", it was without a doubt a genuinely brillint car (for what it was)!
2 memories of it always spring to mind...
1: it had the worlds most useless diff and would spin the inside wheel everytime you accelerated through a left hander, and
2: I sold a peugeot 605 on ebay and had to deliver it from Basingstoke to Luton, so popped off to the scrappies for a towbar for the skoda, nearest thing i could find was off a Mk2 Astra so bodged it on, added the trailer laden with the 605 and off i went on my merry way... surprisingly the story ends there, did the journey just fine, all with it's 1300cc power plant!
Good car, fond memories, nuff said!
