Bear in mind that was 18 years ago. I imagine the price of diesel today isn't much adrift of that relatively speaking.

Yep you're right ...

That clip was a nice find.

Nice find indeed...

I absolutely love my TD engine. It delivers just the right amount of power needed to move the BX and it's extremely fuel efficient. And that clickery clackering sound is actually music to my ears

Interesting that Jez was discussing environmental aspects way back in 1991.

Have you noticed how much "posher" he spoke back then!

Yeah, oddly the P's and Q's went with wealth! Ironic..

There was a BX on Top Gear a couple of series back I think, on an episode they were showing car pictures on the screen with huge spoilers on and one of the cars was a BX!
