This one claims to have a tilt steering wheel. I have never heard of this on a BX - I know Renault fitted them to the better 21's and some or all ZX have them but not BX

Am I wrong?

I've never seen a BX with tilt steering, and I've seen ALOT of BX's. I've owned over 30 of them.

Always stand to be corrected though, but I doubt I will!

Cheers

Seriously tidy though, but I have never seen a tilt wheel one either.

I've just spoken to the bloke selling the other low miles GTi and he insisted his 'H' plate BX had a tilt adjustable steering wheel. I think he must be mistaken. But maybe not? Any evidence of this as a (clearly VERY rarely taken-up) option?

BTW anyone got the front centre arm rest option?

AFAIK tilt steering was NEVER offered as a option, Ive got brochures from 1984 to 1994 and theres no mention in any of the,

I think hes mistaken

Its always surprised me it was not offered as its not difficult to make a tilt wheel when you are making a jointed collapsible column.

Best was the one Triumph used to use - wheel had to be collapsible - so why not put one bit of square steel inside another - and while we're about it - fasten the top with an adjustable clamp and we've got steering adjustable for reach and tilt!
