Hello everyone,

I'm very sad to see this advert :( I really hope someone buys it. I was reluctant to sell at the time, but needs must etc.

Mark.

EDIT: Had a lot of work done under my ownership - please see here for my original advert:

Last on the road a year ago? I wonder if the damage was properly fixed? The owner does not seem to have posted on BXclub since the post below on May 10, 2012 apart from enquiring about some bits around that time????
scooters wrote:Well, due to a lack of time my BX has seen little use in 6 months so when a mate's car had a terminal big end faliure and he couldn't get to work I decided to lend him the BX until he was sorted.

This has turned into a disaster - daily calls - yesterdays about fuel consumption - I put a fiver in and only get 15 miles!!!! - er well that's 21mpg round town which isn't bad for a 1.6 twin chimney carbed car driven hard round town.

Anyroad, was out today in the pishing rain when I got a call - "er sorry about this mate but I smashed the car yesterday and have ripped the front nearside wing and destoyed the bumper and nearside indicator"

Flipping cheesed off about this - evidence is he's been driving like a f*&()Y&* idiot and the damage looks like a lorry bumper or a bollard.

Car isn't drivable as the metal is ripped and razor sharp, will need to be ground back. Plod would pull himthe moment he drove anywhere.

OK so my options are:

1/weld the wing - difficult to do as it is the geometric front end which gives the BX it's distinctive look - if you are 0.111mmm out it will look utter c0ck
2/ scrap the car - I have nowhere to store it at the moment off the road
3/ park it up at my house and try and source a replacement wing and bumper.

OK so does anyone have the following:
car is a grey BX 16 Meteor I need:
1/ a near side wing for a Mk2 -
2/ a grey bumper for a Tdz, Meteor or Gti
3/ a clear nearside indicator unit

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

not happy about this - accidents happen and all but some folk seem to have them more than others - oh well - lesson learned!

Well it went for £255 in the end... which is still more than I paid for it fully MOT'd and taxed! I wonder where it's going to live... it's a long way from Poole which was where it was from originally.

You have as much chance of having a two-way convo with a god as getting £200 for a BX in scrap. It's just an advert threatening enthusiasts to bid, basically.

I'll answer the /\ myself, its a NO (Obviously it didn't sell) being that it's been re-listed on E-bay as 'BIN' @ £695 of make an offer !

Click on photo /\ for latest listing :wink:

I wonder what happened to the buyer/bidding on the previous listing which ended @ £500 (If it were a real bid) as the 'Supposedly Purchaser' has left positive feed-back :?

The 'winning bidder' went way over the next bid down (£301) so I suppose there was a reserve. Once again the BIN advert has been taken down because there was an error in the listing!!! Seems to be a persistent habit...
