Where on earth did they all go? Were they advertised elsewhere?

As for the accident damaged TZD turbo estate, are we talking accident damage like this:

or accident damage like this:

I dont know to be honest, it does drive Im told but has NO T&T, will find out more next weekend David and let you know. Its at a garage who were going to undertake the repairs but since the owner passed away it wasnt carried out.

Wow!
They went quickly. Sudden interest in Bx's?
I would be interesting in the damaged TZD, even have a donor for parts!

Which is good news as they have been sat for a couple of months so need good news, they were advertised elsewhere too. Low mileage TZD's are alway popular.

I've left another message, but no contact yet.
Although the guy I'm getting the car for is a tad other wise engaged at the moment as his wife has gone into labour!

Have you got any pictures of the accident damaged estate Tim?
Is it fixable do you know or just for spares??

Okidokes, Artic Steel and I will also be visiting Mr Kitch whilst we are down south to collect Mulleys bits for his fleet from that broken valver, so we could have a get together and go the pub etc. (unless Mrs Kitch fancies cooking sunday lunch for half a dozen extra?)

I think that would be as popular as Sadam Hussein running a lesbian creche TBH!!

Pub sounds good though, well, it always does doesn't it!

RIGHT, Unfortunatly today DID not go as planned, there was either a breakdown in communication/misunderstanding or more likely the case is ive been taken for a mug.

ALL 4 cars are available for sale, but Amandas late fathers business partner (who the cars are registered too) has decided that he wants offers around £2000 (YES £2000) for the TZS auto estate with a weeks MOT, and a slightly less figure for the TRI. It seems he has spoken to the Chairman of the CCC (who doesnt know that much about BX'S obviously) and he has advised them what they are worth and the green eyes monster has reared its head. My understanding from the emails etc was that Pauls dying wish stated they MUST go to good homes and the money was not important.

Unfortunatly I did not find this out until we had travelled 175miles to get there, then this bloke strides up decides to drop the bombshell, so 400 miles covered, 9 hours in the car and no BX

.

The TXD auto and the TZD estate are available, I do admit are they are all VERY nice, the TZS is MINT, but as we all know its never worth that much in a million years, probably £300 max?

Amanda says she will take £500 minimum for each of the diesels, but after todays debacle Im not sure I would take that as red.

If anyones interested here the no as Im washing my hands off the whole affair. Sorry 07900608411

Sorry to hear that Tim. She doesn't know how lucky she was to contact you in the first place. The lady will have to put them on Ebay and have a reality check it seems!
At least you've had a pleasant scenic tour of England!

Todd you wouldnt believe how pi**ed off I am about it, the whole Idea of me helping to dispose of the cars what solely so they found enthusiastic homes, the money was not important (judging by the size of the house they are very wealthy) but that the cars werent scrapped or sold to all and sundry was. Its pointless putting them on ebay with a reserve of £1500 but as you say they will learn.

It cost me £150 to insure it, the fuel was £50 (thankfully paid for) plus the usual costs of eating at the rip off merchants that is the motorway services. So all in all about £200 has been wasted. I am hopeful that I will get some of the insurance premium back, if not then there will be trouble.

You normally have the right to cancel within 28 days so you'll get the insurance back. You got the bits for Mulley though right so it's not that bad! You a true saint for helping to dispose of the cars

Post by **Tim Leech** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 8:29 pm

Well as the Xantia is no longer insured as its in storage to save messing about I will pay the difference and swop it over to that.

Yes mulleys parts are here, he just needs to come get them as they make my garden look a mess (mulley ANSWER your phone or they are going in the skip

)

So if anyone has £4000 spare I can put you in touch with a man called Roger who will sell you two highly desireable high mileage petrol BX automatics.

(possibly to feed his drink problem as he was obviously

today)
