I reckon that`s a little cracker. Trouble is you may end up in a bidding war with Tim `I love BX estates but won`t admit it` Leech

Why just for the engine and box? whats wrong with the car in itself. Were heer to keeo the bx's running arent we guys not break them up?

I dont mind the estate, just much prefer the asthetics of the hatch!

Blimey this is a great looking car, but what's with all the reflectors?? I actually like the colour!

Shame on ye who wishes to break this for engine and box. I'm with Tim on this one! For one thing a new owner is a new potential club member. So less talk about breaking!

Boo hiss at the breakers! the bodys mint and sos the interior bar the loony reflectors! Would be worth buying it just to rip them off!

It`s a ploy which quite a few eBayers choose Tim. The £275 is a starting price as opposed to a reserve so he`s almost certainly thinking if he gets just one bid he`ll accept that for the car and it should eliminate the usual tiresome amount of penniless fools marauding eBay at the moment.
I don`t know if I`d list a car that way as the relatively high start will deter some bidders but good luck to him if it works.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me, £275 for bx with bust suspension and no mot! Hes hoping! I only want £25 more for mine with 11 months and mine goes up and down aswell! (thats my suspension of course!)

The £275 is starting bid, Tim. It's a way of avoiding the listing cost of setting a reserve. Thing is, it does seem too good to break. And I bet those silly reflectors would come off with a dribble of lighter fuel... I wonder if it's driveable?

Yes! This car is one I might even have a punt at, if I'm feeling mad enough, as it's local to me and it's a low mileage Tizzy Dee.

So hands off ye breakers!! This car might be perfect for someone as a daily runner.

Return pipe should be easy to fix!

By the way, 2005 is a typo. Description says MOT'd till Feb 2006

Mark. not too sure about the LHM leak. Check the sellers feedback, he recently bought some BX return pipe, but i'd be amazed if this is the right one for the problem. Hence why he hasn't fitted it.

More likely to be the octopus, which make the car a bargain at £275. Think of all the fun it will give you fitting a new one.
