As you said not many, wether it is one of the last ones would depend on when it was manufactured not when it was registered. Pictures please?

'93 I think.

As previously mentioned, registration is not always a good indication of age. I've seen cars of a particular registration year turn out to be anything up to a couple of years earlier simply because they took a while to sell. My local Stealer used to be a Rover one until they went pop - I think he still has a couple of unregistered ones!

My 19TZS was registered in May 1993 but was built in October 1991 so the corraltion between buiding and registering is more to do with status. Thats how saying I got an L reg means look at to me :wink:

Now now Mathew theres nothing wrong with a bit of proudness in his L reg motor, I always wanted an L reg for some reason I think I assumed that new wouls mean lesser miles and better condition which I now know is not always a good indicator.

I know of an L reg Estate sitting in a drive way (looks like it's been there a while) in Birmingham.

I believe they carried on making estates for a year or so after they ceased production of the hatch so Lreg. estates are not uncommon.

In the mist of time the records of what was get lost and distorted facts begin to appear.

Surely as BX enthuisasts we have some locked knowledge of this subjubjected locked away in some dusty attic to be transcribed to the digital era we now live in? For most of us storing information digitally has only been within the last 10 years our BXs pre date the modern internet era.

This gives me an idea... is there any kind of BX register??

Sounds really sad, but the Renault Avantime owners club has one, basically just a list to keep track of these rare cars, might work well for the ever-dwindling BX population?

Just a thought.

There IS a BX register in the CCC, but the guy that ran it suffers with ill health so I dont think its been touched for a while, plus not many people go on the forum, so maybe yo could start one?
