16v. But (to be pedantic) not badged GTi...

Looks good. Not enough description though.

Indeed it is, mind you with it being adevrtised as a Gti it may not hopefully attract too many puggers!

I can't believe you didn't notice that was a valver Tim!

You're normally so anal about things of that nature.

It is a good looker though. I think there are a couple of guys interested on the 16v forum too.

I did notice its a valver Kitch but didnt advertise the fact purely for the reason that if anyone "puggers" are scanning the posts if its advertised as a GTi not a 16v they may not bother to look!

you see there is method in my madness.

As for being anal, those in glass houses!

Oh who cares if they are!

Its not your car afterall.

I do like them in white though. I only ended up with a red one because there were no black or white ones around, although I'm now glad I got red. I can see it fading, through my glass house.

I know it isnt but I would still like to go to a good home not to go the way of alot of other 16vs.

I REALLY like that. Its not that far away either. White is definitely the best colour for BX's I reckon, though I saw one once in a really dark BMW blue and it looked awesome

.

3 BX's is too much though, and I need to spend on the 2 I've got this month. Gutted

It aint got 16valve badges on the side's either.

I know this car, it nearly ran me over on the way to work the week before last. Being driven by a woman with the red mist, and it sounded awful.

I see it quite alot around the Lawrence hill / Easton part of town.

The body looks really good, but the engine sounds like a bag of nails with a load of revs on.

I know the couple selling the car from the Bristol group of the 2cv club, they are genuine enthusiasts - she is a bit feisty, if she nearly ran you over she probably found the BX a bit quick for her by comparison with a wheezy 602cc 2cv.

Dont think it was intentional! She just seemed to be "elsewhere" !! That and with the speed she was pulling when she nipped past I doubt she ever saw me trying to get my phone out so I could take a pic!

Does look like nice "in the flesh", I'ce got a red and black one, so maybe I should have a white one too...... at least its very close to home... hhmm....
