good lord, haven't seen that one on the road for a while!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

/\ so it's a known BX? Well, it is in your neck of the woods Doc.

Let's see who gets to this one first. Indiana Jones and the Quest of the Mk.1 estate! I look forward to pics, having just put my one back together as close as possible to original. Odds on that it's got those lovely nylon seats with the grid pattern, or what's left of them after such a mileage.

In an Indiana Jones manner, I think I've falled to avoid the huge, rolling stone of momentum that is everyone else clamouring for it! Just called the chap and it sounds like there has been a fair ol' chunk of interest. I still want to go and see it this weekend if I can as I'm passing through. Chap's going to get back to me tomorrow.

So, come on. Who is having it? Was hoping for a call back from the seller, but haven't heard 'owt. He said that someone in the BX Club was having it, but didn't seem very sure of the name.

Well, I know Ren16tx was a definite contender, but the seller didn't seem to think his name (the real world one, not Ren16tx!) was the one. Who knows! I just want to see this thing saved. If it's saved on my driveway, then excellent. If it's someone else's driverway, then excellent too.

The chief minister of Delhi is called - unfortunately - Sheila Dikshit!

The pic is of 'Richard of York' aka Richard III referring to our BX compadre R of Y, he of many BXs.. I thought perhaps he had got in quick for this one?
