Yep, they're rare motors in Mk1 form - they seem to have only made them for a few months before switching to mk2 production.

Spot on, they only brought them out on a C plate before the facelift so are uber rare.

Factory roof so rare, but will need some welding.

Re: BX 17 DIESEL
It might be the only Mk1 17RD out there with a factory sun roof
As Tim says, needs welding, but it's odd how it's gone in totally different places to mine. Must be due being kept under cover.
Wonder what the boot floor's like?

Yup, it started no problem and to my untrained eye the boot floor looked good.

Re: BX 17 DIESEL
The only way to tell is to lift the carpet but a quick prod round the edges of the boot floor from the inside and listen for some cripyness.
