There's a good 350 Avantimes to keep track of.

Basically it's laid out like an ExCel document.

Column 1: Registration Number
Column 2: Model details
Column 3: Colour
Column 4: The forum username of the person who owns it (if known)
Column 5: Comments such as "written off", "rare leather interior".

Other additional details could include the city the car is in etc etc. Obviously all details disclosed at owners discretion.

It works really well for the Avantimes. You can see if one on ebay, for example, has ever belonged to a member of the club or has any rare options - and keep track of how many are disappearing into car heaven!

Could potentially be a good bit of work but I reckon it would be a good thing to have.

According to wiki the all powerful excylopedia of the modern day

The Citroën BX is a large family car that was produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1982-1994. In total, 2,315,739 BXs were built during its 12-year history.[1] The hatchback was discontinued in 1993 with the arrival of the Xantia, but the estate continued for another year.

The skeleton is there but the layout needs to be changed, and crucially, there are no reg numbers.

I'm willing to start processing info into a tidier form if we're serious about this?

I used to own an M reg tzd estate.

One of the very last if not the last registered in the UK. My father bought it from macandews in Edinburgh. It had been made 2 years earlier and mothballed by the dealer when the xantia was launched.

It was cracking and was a hyper rare rhd 19 turbo that the dealership owner had specially ordered.

Got all the paperwork somewhere if I can find it I will post it up.

Like an idiot I sold it in 2000.....oh well!

Erm, no such thing as a factory 19 turbo, retrofit yes, otherwise no.

Doubt it as why would citroen go to the hassle of making a one off, i believe a few mules may have been made in France, but not exported to the uk. If the paperwork exists then i'd like to see it, not to just shut me up, but put this issue to bed once & for all.

There was never a 19TD released in the wild in this country.

I can't believe cit would make a one off, as much as I'd like to think a genuine unit existed, it just didn't.
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...

I'll see if I can find the paperwork mind you ....its been 10 years! I'll also have a chat with dads old mechanic. I'm interested to get to the bottom of this as well. I suspect it may have been retro fitted despite the dealers special order claims.

I do recall the car having turbo issues throughout my ownership..

Anyway will be interesting either way

Could be the usual 17 Turbo then?
