Nice hole in the rear arch. Love the saggy sunroof trim and it's so reassuring to hear of the LHM and oil leaks! :lol:

I thought the estate. Never had a sunroof. Ive never seen one with a sunroof before. I got to the estates where to flimsly to have the sunroof. It was just the car what had them. But i might be wrong

Some estates were fitted with sunroofs as an accessory to order.

I think you have to admire this sellers honesty in listing the cars faults, however I think his starting price for a BX in this condition and with such short T&T is unrealistic. Time will tell :?

That's an aftermarket tilt sunroof not the standard OEM style sliding sunroof.

Anoraks out :lol:

It may well be an aftermarket jobbie as you say. but the genuine Citroen accessorie version, (not often seen on hatchbacks as most had ff tilt/slide sunroofs as we know) did not slide AFAIK. It was a tilt-only one. I would've thought a sliding one wouldn't be practical due to the estate's roofline. Mind you, please correct me if I'm wrong!

Anoraks away. :roll: :D

Back O/T, I'm with Ken, this isn't a basket-case but is overpriced.

My little 14 has a genuine citroen accessory sunroof as did all 14ST Tropez models, which only tilts up, no drain tubes to block either and after 19 years it doesnt leak! :lol:
