Hi all just got a 1989 16 valver its the one that was on ebay last wk probably paid over the odds but what the heck u can't take it with u can u? Just a couple of jobs to do wants a gasket on exhaust manifold and a little bit of bodywork touching up. Any one in the lancaster area with advice or would like to meet up to swap our love of bx's feel free to reply. p.s. got a good discount on service items[oil filter air filter etc] from john wildings[citroen main dealer]. :)

Welcome along mate, we need pictures!
Was it really as good as it looked in the ad?
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Cheers feels good to be part of an active community. cars alright been waxoiled all its life i reckon one or two little marks here and there small rust patches on inner wheel arch where it meets the sill looks lile a rust trap! engine bay is spotless again signs of waxoil on chassis rails etc drove back from southampton to lancaster didnt miss a beat over 300mls used less than 1/2 a tank! retro motoring at its best.
