That's a first for me too, never seen a BX later than L plate.

I have never seen an M plate either, and I thaught the latest BXs were estates because the Zantia estate arrived later than the saloon.

It has got to be the youngest BX in the UK.

Go for it tourist

Is there something wrong with/ missing from the sills though?
Aerodynamica that's normal for the black coating to get 'Washed off' at that mileage all it needs is a couple of nice coats of Black Bituminous paint and it will come back up to factory spec. !

James, that BX looks a very nice clean example obviously it still needs checking out (As you've already got bitten badly with the current TXD you own) but as its only got 69K hopefully they should not be any big issues but do check out the rear radius arm bearings as they do tend to start failing from my experience between the 70/75K miles, unless of course they have been replaced and therefore will have no issues on that check point !

But from 'takehurst' posting it seems that it's not going to be silly money so if there is an issue with the bearings they can be easily be replaced it wouldn't put me off buying it as it could be one of the last TZD hatchback's made/registered in a RHD guise as Mr.P Chidlow has already stated !

So I hope it will not be long so see a posting telling everyone its yours !
All the best I hope you get it, its about time you had some GOOD-LUCK :!:

Thank you, I have only ever seen one other BX on an N plate and I think that was a 16 valve!

From what I've gathered so far the price is very good, plus I already have some arm bearings should I need them which I got for the TXD but haven't been put on yet.

I'm excited! I'll be seeing it in the week, probably thursday. :D if all is good it could be mine!

Yes I agree with all of the above.

M reg estates are rare enoungh, I've never seen an M reg hatchback let alone an N

I hope this one turns OK for Tourist, it is about time he had some good luck. If the rear arm bearings turn out to be knacked, I'll do them for free, but he'll have a long drive to claim the offer, but at least I'd get chance to test drive the newest BX in the UK :D

Is there any other reason it could be such a late registered car, other than it was sat around before it was registered?

This is not really related but how come a few cars have 6 digit plates and not 7?

Here's another M reg estate that lives less than a mile from me.

If anyone wants it I'm sure the owner could be easily persuaded to part with it as he now has a company car.

James, :shock: I can't believe you've asked/quoted this :!:
Try counting 1 to 99 (hopefully it won't take you too long), now try counting 100 to 999 :!:
Have you deciphered yet why there's less 6 digit plates/registered now than 7 :D

I think you'll find that your modifier (in red) makes for nothing out of the ordinary as it is an Estate. :)

Hatchbacks were withdrawn earlier so the fact that an N reg has turned up in this style makes it unusual. :wink:

N reg TZD

Post by takehurst »

I'm amazed at the interest in my dad's car - perhaps I should have put it on Ebay!!

The person who questioned the registration date is correct - I checked with my dad and it was registered on 1/1/96. My sister and her husband had 2 bx before this one and she really wanted another and managed to get this very late edition.

How much is it really worth then?
