A lesson learned. Anyone want a challenge???
Feel there's no point in hanging about.
OK I might've been rash. And if it had worked out to not be so crumbly, I might have allowed myself a smile of satisfaction. But, as they say, pride comes before a fall.
If anyone wants to make me an offer and are able to pick it up soon, I will always give consideration and withdraw it from eBay if it's going to help me recover a decent proportion of my costs.
cheers chaps.

Phil,
If it does not meet the reserve sell the wheels for a ton (£100 which is what there worth even with crap tyres) and then sell the engine to a Pugster's for a a ton and then weigh the shell in for £50 + any spares/interior you may sell in the mean time is a bonus !
Don't let it fret you, you should get your money back !
Best Regards

Yep, engine and loom with ECU is easily worth £500, and given that the pug boys tend to rebuild them anyway I doubt a burnt valve would put them off.MULLEY wrote:I thought pug boy's pay £500+ for these engines? Let's hope someone buy's the car to get it back on the road.
It's tempting for spares, it really is, but getting it home could be an issu, and frankly I have nowhere left to put a mini let alone a BX..
GTi you say? You have another car in the pipeline? Or are my beer goggles malfunctioning?
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...
