Free Citroen BX16 TRS C Reg in very good condition

[AlexL71]

I am offering my late grandfather's very good condition Citroen BX16 TRS for free to anyone who would like it. It is located in Wimbledon, SW London. I'm posting on this forum rather than elsewhere as I'm hoping there's a BX enthusiast out there who could give it a second life. It's a C reg and it was last driven in 2002 (tax disc on window) and was running perfectly up until that time. My grandfather then moved to America and left the car parked in the underground car park beneath his block of flats, where it's remained ever since. He also used the same underground parking while he was driving it, so it looks in very good condition inside and out - I can't see any rust or damage. He was an RAF pilot and took good care of his possessions! It's caked in 25 years of dust on the outside which I was advised to leave as trying to remove it myself could scratch the paint work. It's a left hand drive (my grandfather was French) and I have the original paperwork, manual and the key - he bought the car new and was the sole owner. I've taken a few photos (attached) and happy to take some more of any parts that you need to see. Whoever takes the car needs to be fully responsible for its removal. This is not entirely straightforward as the exit from the underground parking is height restricted - the exact clearance is 1.8m - so tow trucks and high-sided vans won't fit, and the car's tyres are also a little deflated over time. If anyone's interested, let me know.

Wow that's very generous someone will snap it up I'm sure - but not me unfortunately

I've sent you a message. And an email address. I will try and put you and the guy I am thinking may be interested in touch. Also I want a friend to check out the site to do a 'feasibility study' though in order to check out issues with actually removing it.

This could be a viable project for my 'team'.
