A 2.2? is that possible, looks tidy!

I have heard that such a beast existed, but have never seen proof!

A proper power readout would sell that car... And if I knew I could get insured on it I'd swap mine for it tomorrow! (No offence Tim

)

The engine size is a typo.

1905cc, they all are. You all know that. Unless it's had an engine change.

Nice car. Potentially good value for longterm owner.

what do you guys think that is actually worth ?? in his ad he says he has spoken to the bx nuts and they say 2500 to 3000 is that correct ??

This has really got the juices flowing...

I haven't had a BX for a year or two since I got gazumped on a valver I thought I had done the deal on, and I was pretty certain that an XM now better suited my age and bulk, but this is intriguing.

The seller's XM looks very good too, but that is definitely over-priced at twice the price of the BX.

Can't go tomorrow, the XM's having its window done and a service but I might try to get there on Friday or Saturday.

Tricky

It's running throttle bodies and an Emerald ECU which is why it looks so different... And with that amount of money spent on the head and throttle bodies, I wouldn't rule out it being a special bottom end.

The engine is probably worth the asking price to some 205 owner out there... IF it has been done properly - which I suspect it has

Just looked again, and it seems the XM has gone off ebay, wonder if this was taken in part exchange?

I like the fact it looks so stock from the outside - no shiny bits added. Bit of a sleeper with all the mods under the bonnet!

I wonder how someone could invest so much effort and money and then trade it in ( for what?) also it always amazes me there are BXs like this out there that are unknown to our allseeing BX Club eyes!

For me... That engine in a Mk1 16TRS would be just tickety-boo

Oh no, I keep looking at the auction...

Please can someone talk me out of it

This cant go to some dickhead wanting to raz up a 205 , someone surely on the forum needs this sat in their garage.
Go on ,you know you want to?

Nah, for me it would be in a ratty looking estate, with 19RD badges, but with Mi16x4 transmission underneath...

Sell your other two (and all those wheels

) and you'll be able to easily afford it!
