My friend just told me she would love a bx like mine ...I adviced her to look for one with not too many miles and few previous owners.
But she is a girl who has not much knowledge of mechanics. Would this be the wrong car? It has not been used for 7 years ...would it need lots of small repairs ?

This is really a project car. Some of the repairs might not be that small. Many things seized up and rusted.
There are still plenty of really good examples around, it would be better for someone with little or no skills to pay a bit more and get one thats been loved and maintained.
I'm not trying to deliberately put anyone off this car. After all I haven't seen it and it could be a first class example.
Just trying to be realistic.
They think it's all over, it is now!

OK this may liven things up a bit?! The car [b]can't[/b] stay where it is for more than a week now, so if anyone is prepared to take it away (remember it will probably need towing and tyres that hold air) then make me an offer! I will be at the car's location (between Taunton and Minehead) from this Thursday until Sunday pm.
I guess it seems a bit of a gamble, but all I can say is it used to be a very nice car!!!

Oh dear, no one wants it! The problem is that it MUST be gone from the driveway it is in by next Thursday (12th). Since no one has been able to respond positively, I have regrettably started to arrange for it to be towed away for scrap!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sad. I guess a car that's stood for seven years will be, as Ken says, a project with many things needing to be put right. If there was a chance of pics (what colour/interior etc?) and a description of condition someone might choose it as a donor car?
