WANTED : MARK 1 BX BITS

WESTON89 · Post by **WESTON89** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:35 pm

I'm after a pair of front wings and a front bumper for my new purchase. My DTR is Glacier Blue / Bleu Romantique, but will consider other colours considering their rarity! Both wings are beyond repair and the front bumper has been stitched up with aluminum plate along the crack.

Ideally I need a couple of doors too.

There will probably be some other bits too after I've got a few jobs done.

Is that the Mark 1 TRS from the Citroenian magazine?

Just read older posts and realise it is. And it's a DTR!

Worth looking on ebay.fr quite a few mk 1 bx's for sale and with a drier climate should be rust free. I reckon it would be worth the effort. Happy hunting. Regards Mark.

I think mds 141 is right. If you've got the time and the space then it's worth getting a complete donor in, certainly living in Uk. That was my solution to dwindling Mk.1 parts availability, I got a complete TRD from France. Look on Leboncoin.fr

The Mk.1 BXs seemed to have just disappeared from the UK. After fixing one up for the last three months I understand why. They just weren't built as well - I reckon rotten piping finished lots of them off. And of course they're just longer in the tooth than the later models.

Edit : I think RxBx had a pair of Mk.1 front wings for sale a while ago?

Thanks guys, I'll take my search a bit further afield....

I can perhaps help with small Mk.1 specific items that you might need ( I've got quite a lot of interior stuff) but posting anything bulky/heavy from Germany won't be economical unless you're desperate!

it might also be worth askoing Medway citroen a call, as they had a stash of all kinds of second hand citroen body panel's they were selling off a while back,
