Black GTi 4x4 for sale
Thought I would put it on here first, i'm selling my 1990 4x4 GTI. It needs work as its been off the road for 7 years, needs welding on the drivers door top hinge which has come away from the car, the exhaust has a fosters beer can wrapped around the pipe near the backbox but it still blows ( surprise ), will need a good service and cambelt change as its been stood so long and some other bits too.
The good news is its very original, looks really tidy, has 4 new dunlop tyres, new Bosch silver battery ( 5 year guarantee ) and it runs and rises and I have driven it a short distance up the country lane where I live.
If anyone would like to know more get in touch, I will put it on Ebay next week.

I know it does seem like a lame attempt I bought this on the spur of the moment as a project for myself and my 2 stepsons, the original plan was to buy a 306 GTi 6 but then the 4x4 came up and well the rest is history.Way2go wrote:What's happened? For a hardcore purchase in October, to give up within 4 months seems a little lame on one of these rare models.
Are there VERY serious issues with this car?
There was an initial flurry of enthusiasm from the boys, we got it running cleaned it up, then finally got to drive it up the lane ( great day ), it has been ignored since.
I have just bought an Audi RS6 and as a result the BX has been relegated to outside parking ( the 6 has stolen its nice warm garage ) I don't want to see it parked up for another 7 years so feel it best to sell it, hopefully to someone who can and will get her back on the road.
Does it have " very serious issues " ? I don't think so but I'm no expert, it looks great, lovely shiny paintwork, panels are very straight,the interior shows hardly any signs of wear, all the windows have the reg number etched even the screen and the wheels have the reg number on too, it has a gearstick anti-theft device which were all the rage in the nineties, all little tell tale signs of a genuine car.
It will need money spending on it, the exhaust could be patched up, maybe, as the rest looks pretty good, I have been quoted £150 by a good mobile welder to do the door hinge/pillar and then cambelt/service and the brakes may need work as its stood so long ( they do stop the car in a straight line from my little test drive ) and who knows what else will come to light when you can actually give it a proper going over.
It needs to go to someone who can afford to put both time and or money into it as I imagine it will cost at least another £500 to get it to mot standard if not doing the work yourself. but as we know there are very few 4x4 left, they only come up once in a blue moon and they wont be making anymore, I think people are waking up to the fact that BXs are becoming classics and the rarest are usually the most desirable.
I will try and upload some photos, but have struggled in the past but I can email some if anyone is interested, if not take a look next week on Ebay from next sunday.

you have got to be keen with the 4x4. you have got to got stainless exhuast rebuild the tfansfer and gearbox. good luck finding a new exhaust for a pattern. then you have the other problems that go with them.
but other than that they are a really good car. i love mine. pisses all over subaru legacys climbing a snow covered mountain.

I could compare them side by side if I would be able to convert BX to 4x4. Time will tell.

MMMM Legacy, my 3rd favourite behind the BX and Sunbeam, have you been on http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php?&&CODE=00# by any chance?? excellent site
Bump for the 4x4 BX......

no i will have a look into it.
i got rid of my legacy a year ago. i now have a discovery for the major towing and 4x4 off road jobs. seems to be pulling the weight. i rebuilt the engine in jan, has the old buick style engine. 3.9, not good on fuel but the legacy wasent either.
they are all good cars.
i see it as long as your having fun it is all ok.
so is your legacy turbo?? i have 2.5 non turbo and a twin turbo 2.0. they were both fun to drive.
bx is more fun in the snow though.

LPG conversion FTW! Assuming you are doing the miles/keeping it long enough to make it pay for itself. Is LPG available as a pump fuel over there?djm666 wrote:i now have a discovery for the major towing and 4x4 off road jobs. seems to be pulling the weight. i rebuilt the engine in jan, has the old buick style engine. 3.9, not good on fuel
