14TGE, last owner for 20 years, Needs Loving Home
A call from a chap, based south of Edinburgh who has decided after 20 year to part with his burgundy BX 14TGE, which he bought in 1992, 6 months old from MacAndrew Citroen.
MOT Until end of may, maintained properly he says (he sounds a proper chap), repiped a few years ago, in good condition, 119000 miles.
Webasto Sunroof (glass I think).
Nothing wrong with it.
New onwers enthusiasm is more important than price as he is clearly very attached to it after having it so long.
Price? Well I think £300 and he would be happy
I have a number.
His new Skoda wont be here for 6 weeks so no rush.

Any chance of a picture? Which interior has it got? Sounds remarkably like my first BX Nothing wrong with it? Quite a claim for a BX!

It's a loooong way to go, but I might be interested if it's nice. I'm after a really sound BX - would prefer a bigger engined one, but I've had a 1.4 before and it wasn't too sluggish. As long as the body's sound, I'm prepared to throw some money at the mechanicals if needed....Tim Leech wrote:A call from a chap, based south of Edinburgh who has decided after 20 year to part with his burgundy BX 14TGE, which he bought in 1992, 6 months old from MacAndrew Citroën.

With a glass sunroof it's practically identical to my old 14!Sounds remarkably like my first BX
sounds like a good price considering the way the values are going, and the combination of spec and colour is pretty rare I think.

Great to hear that it's saved by the current owner. While there are a couple of modern cars that I like, I wouldn't have them over the BX (or GS for that matter) as they are either too thirsty or not practical enough for what I subject my motors to.

he is of a certain age where computers are made of witchcraft so I doubt it but he will keep in touch should he need any parts.
