Is a BX 16v a rare car?

Not in this company it's not

The one on the right is slightly rarer (and louder, faster, wider, lower etc etc)

true, but the valver could be lower just by moving a lever!

Tell me about it!

Is yours back up and running now then? I've sort of fallen out of the loop... Not that I was ever truly in the loop.

Doc: I think even with the lever flipped and leaving it sat on its discs it'd still be higher

Matt: Yeah put it back on the road at the begining of the month after doing all that welding to repair the previous bodgery to the O/S/F inner arch by an undesirable character. A fair few niggles and things not working but at least it's usable again! Haven't been in the loop much myself. There isn't really a loop for BX's

What is that yellow beast? is it a Bitter? or a kitcar of some sorts?

The rear lights seem kind of familiar, off some Honda maybe? But is it as yellow as the Toddmobile?

The "one on the right " is no where near as practical as a 16valve, where would you put the kids and the buggy ?

I suspect that by owning the one on the right, you wouldn't have the above issues in the 1st place

why , does owning a sportscar make you impotent ?

Must be the hard suspension that does it

The car on the right is a Spectre R45. It's one of two made by the now bankrupt company (think they were Norfolk based). Theres a pre-production prototype motorshow car (this one) and another burgandy one (not sure on it's story).
It's a 4.6 V8, it has a carbon fibre body and it does actually have a boot, thought a buggy would be a stretch.
They are Honda Legend rear lamps (get out more Mat

) and the suspension's actually pretty soft!

And it's for sale soon I believe. Offers in the region of £30k, though I don't fit comfortably behind the wheel (and I'm 5'8"

) so I would imagine it'll be hard to sell!

Not as rare as the one in our workshop....the P107. That's one of one!
