BX 'Tissier'

I saw this on a French BX site. Apparently it's a 'Tissier' - never seen one, didn't even know they existed. Seen the CX and the XM version but not this - anyone seen one? Also known as BX Pijpops (?) - made in Belgium.

Imagine glazing it and putting, I don't know, an arrangement of seats (like a stretch limo), plus a table, cocktail cabinet, some serious ICE...

I've seen worse on Pimp My Ride

Or a BX ambulance - as in an ambulance for BXs (could hold lots of bits). Saw a xantai like this in France last year.

Hi guys,if anyone is interested,there is a 6 page spread on Daniel Pijpops in the March/April edition of the Citropolis.He was more well known for converting the D and CX models to load carriers and 10 wheel car transporters,although he did do quite a bit on the BX and Visa chassis. There are some great photos of some of his conversions including a 4 wheel and 6 wheel BX pick up truck!!He also did a stretch limo CX,black with white leather,and a CX 6 wheel,4 door pick up truck with an add on hardtop for the back and also a camping van attachment too.He is still in business and resides in B-3450 Geetbets,Belgium.His latest conversions in the mag are on XM based models,although for a price he will maybe do anything. I also have a brochure of a Heuliez conversion of a BX estate. It is called a BX Dyana,and is a 3 door 5 seat estate.There was also a 2 seat 'Enterprise' company car version available at 18.6 TVA.You could order it with any engine type that was available at the time.From the model shown I would say that it was around the 1990's. It was available through Citroen agents as the brochure is an official Citroen one and printed in French and English.The model shown is on the GTi chassis. Looks really good. If I got hold of a free estate,I would probabaly have a go at one,or even a 2 door pick up.Geoff

Yes, one of our members - Carl (TB2) - has got one not too far from here by Zürich. We're currently planning our Spring hit on the French scrappers.

If you could scan that article Geoff and post it here I'm sure everyone would enjoy that! I didn't realise that Pijpops was actually a bloke.

I know this was a French tax break model or similar - though with a long pedigree as, believe it or not, there was even a Citroen Traction Enterprise.

I was looking at a reproduction of an ad for one of these today which has a rather portly gentleman lugging a very large drum of something or other into the boot. It was in a Haynes book on Andre Citroen which is being knocked out in one of the the remainder shops here.

While I know this BX model has just 2 seats, do they have opening rear doors too?

Carl's BX has got the rear doors sealed and really strange rear plastic door cards with no handles or anything. I think it was some sort of tax dodge as it's really not that commercial
