Post by Philip Chidlow »

Saw a fair few of these on the BXagon. Was there an equivalent UK model?

I think Tim's (is it Tim?) right. When I was living in France, I saw a few of them and I made a comment to my local village's (Scottish) Cit garage owner about not seeing the Millésime model anywhere in the UK.

He said that he'd been told, given the average Brit's linguistic skills, they'd probably refer to it as the 'Mile-Slime' whereas even 'les Anglaises' can't really screw up 'Athena' (much). :wink:

Millésime - french for vintage , as in a good year.
There is one for sale in my local town in France, a 19D for 1500EUR.
Second hand prices in France are really high for us Brits so I wont be buying it and would much rather buy in the UK at a third of the price and run a BX with RHD and keep 1000EURos in my wallet.
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.
