BX's in France

[Boxwolf]

I'm in France right now on holiday have seen a few BX, but none were the regular model naming scheme, they all had names like special editions, one of which I can remember was BX "Kerlonque" - it was silver.

BX "Kerlonque"

That came out just after the BX "Kerplunk" but before the BX "Kersplatt"...



I think it might be Calanque btw.

I've noticed a real decline in BX's in France over the last couple of years. I mostly see Images, Millisemes and the odd Ourane. Quite a few mark 1's of the ones I saw earlier this year, mostly TRD's, the odd mk2 TRD Turbo too.
Dont think i've EVER seen a GTi 8v over there, I did see a BX Sport for sale a couple of years ago though.

Yes you are right. The numbers are dimishing, for the same reasons as here. But there are still a large number in use, an everyday sighting is not uncommon.

My neighbour in France has a 4x4. Its in daily use along with his wife's Xantia. The spheres appear rock solid though which suggests he is not really keeping it up to .......
