1986 CITROEN BX 16RS LEADER MK1 on Ebay

[Tim Leech]

Very nice - certainly lots of potential. The interior plastics look like they'd need a bit of sorting; not sure how you'd do that?

You can get trim repairers to come in paint them, with a small airbrush, weve used them before on rips/tears and holes from mobile phones (and stiletto heels! )

This is the one from down here in cornwall that i went and had a look at for him pre-purchase. Based on the purchase price and the very significant transport costs i think it's a very fair start price.

Also, there's nowhere you'll get messed around more than on a forum with all the umms and maybe's. Ebay's the way to go, everyone's gotta live.

Been over to see it this afternoon and its not half bad. Started after a few turns on jump leads but unfortunately has a hydraulic leak which has drained the tank so wouldnt rise. Its had "home spun" repairs in some of the usual places in what looks like dulux but on the whole is pretty sound .
The brown dashboard top isnt stuck on carpet or anything dodgy but the plastic has gone "funny" in the sun.
Got to arrange transport back home which i was hoping it would drive home but hey ho. Hopefully next Saturday as the old lady who owns it is going away for Christmas other wise it will be after the holidays.
My Dad,s made up with it though,
I will keep you posted in the "gallery section"

I stand corrected, i thought it was this one http://www.bxclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13841" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I so want that, no no no!

Tim, on the first listing it didn't get even one bid !
So Here's a SECOND-CHANCE with a much lower starting price !

I think Richards, timing hasn't helped with the other BX currently on E-Bay ?

I've noticed you've already made a gap in your car signature list for it !

1979 Rover SD1 3.5V8-S Midas Gold

1985 BX 19DTR Bleu Romantique' (DYAnne)
1985 BX 19GT Blanc Creamant (C1 TBX)
1989 BX 16TRS Bleu Olympique (WTF!)
1991 BX 19TZi Blanc Alpin
1994 Xantia 1.8i SXi Rouge Furio (HenRY)

But as the Leader is an 1986 model, 'the gap' therefore needs to be between the 1985/1989 models !
