Its apparently provisionally sold for £600. Just waiting for somebody to collect then it'll be removed from ebay.
hhmm, I was told it was definitley sold... Nice enough guy though, so fair play to him!

A good price, but too much for me right now. I could get a XM for that, and in all honesty I think I'd prefer an XM, after all, I wont be getting rid of either BX I've already got, so something a bit different would be good. And I still really miss my last 2.1TD auto, that was a lovely car.

I really love the heat, and I can happily live without air-con, I have done all my life, but I will fit the kit I got from Tom (many years ago, and it's still not fitted...) in the TD, just because I can, and it makes life more pleasant on the odd hot day we get. I plan to do more foreign trips so Air-con will be most welcome.
Fuel economy doesn't really bother me too much, my ambulance does about 8MPG, the coach gets around 17MPG and the valver is not that cheap!
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...

There's no reason why it cant be made to work in the BX mate. Not quite plug and play, but shouldn't be at all difficult.

Wasn't a fuel computer fitted to some 16v models? Took the place of the coin holder if I remember rightly...I'll have to dig out an old brochure.

Now I bet that's a rarity!

He told me that somebody had called and they'd agreed on £600 but you know what ebay can be like.

I'd put money on the buyer not turning up.
Over and out from me

Suspect you're right. There has been no response to my mail / offer, so I'm backing out of this one.
