It's got Speedlines... But not as we know 'em.

I love the colour, but unfortunately, the car was Black to start with... by far the greatest colour (Apart from possibly Triton Green)for a valver. I guess by the time I can afford to insure a 16v, there will be no black ones left, or more likely i won't be able to afford the Tax/Fuel costs

I think the seller would easily make more money if he stuck an MoT on the car... I'd say that's a £700 - £800 car with a full ticket on it, maybe £350 - £400 without. It's obviously not a shed, and it must have been loved, and would definately be a shame to see it get broken...

Especially seeing as how "suitable for females" the light steering and clutch is...

The wheels are Speedline Comp 2's. They were made famous(ish) in the Saxo S1600 series. I had a set on mine, lovely wheels. Don't really suit the BX though and neither does the colour IMO.
If it were original and black maybe, but that doesn't look right for me.

Bit sexist aint he?

light clutch / steering, so it must be sutable for women, because obviousley women cant drive anything big / heavy?

K has driven my RE, and she's 5' tall and was at the time 7stone.
And the RE is bloody hard work, even for men!

Welding to both sills, and rear sill, whatever that may be...

hhmm..

Shame, I'd rather go with the rather nice black P1 on the bay located in Dursley I think, and no, that one isn't mine!

I think those Speedline wheels would have looked a lot better if they were 15s rather than the standard 14s.

That makes a total of 4 BX 16vs on eBay at the minute. Madness...

Got to mean the rear of the boot floor? On the GS I've heard the box section just underneath the rear bumper referred to as the "cross-sill".

Mark.

Nat was driving the valver when the PAS didn't work at times, although she never parked it....just left it where it stopped. Much easier
