MK1 BX TRD (italian bx) "maybe" for sale!
with a heavy heart, i am seriously thinking it may be time to part with Sophie, my beloved italian MK1 BX 19TRD, well known to most of you i think,seen at many rallies here and in Europe,
Bad points!
No MOT (just ran out) no tax,
needs heater hose fitting (supplied,providing its correct! from citroen) and rad needs replacing,(seconhand one supplied)
Good points!
very reliable runner,extremly cheap to run,No rust to speak off,very solid car,but with a few dings (is themed- italian!)
sits on MK1 ALLOY Wheels (prob worth more than the car!)
maroon in colour, tidy interior,No power steering, tints/electric windows all round,
the BX was sold new in Rome, and was taken back to Rome for the ICCCR a few years ago! i've proberly done more miles overseas than in the UK, (trips to france,italy, swiss,germany,belgium,holland,czec ect!)
im realy fond of this car,and don't want to sell her,realisticly,i have other cars,and a lack of storage since loosing my last job,and as i have a works van, i don't even drive the cars to work! and i realy want an Ami!
As i say in the title, she "maybe" for sale, depending if i can bare to part wit her,
Asking price, well, im not giving her away,and not desp to sell but, as is, i'd want £500
Anyone serious, drop me a pm for further details,cars in Aldershot, hants, can be seen running,
Also For sale 1971 Renault 16 TS, New mot,tax exempt,£1200

I remember the car. It's certainly got character. I have to say with no Tax or Ticket - at that price I think you and the Italian BX will not be parted So you might as well fix her up tax and test it and enjoy a continuing relationship.
The Renault sounds interesting. As a matter of interest, any pics?

i know it seems a high price, but "do you know how rare it is" ?!! and you are getting a pretty much rot free car too, and with very rare mk1 alloys!!
my intention was/is to get her back on the rd,but has been in the drive since last september...........!
As for price, its not worth my while selling her for less,as its so cheap to run,it pays for itself in no time, and i don't realy want to sell anyway! i won't be ebaying her! but if someone here wants her,then i'll prob let her go, otherwise i'll be keeping her!!

Chris, don't get me wrong, it is a rare car and I like it. Honestly, I wish you the best of luck in realising at least some of it's inestimable value to you. But as I said, without an MOT it will be hard regardless of being a rare BX. How far off a ticket is it?

MOT ran out last week! as for passing another mot,i foresee no major issues,and should be faily straight forward,
the problem i have is that she needs the heaterhose replacing,and its a pig of a job,and im no machanic! and can't drive the car anywhere,as she's lost her water!! Alas, my R16TX has also developed a few probs that also need sorting and the poor old bx is just not getting the attention she deserves, although i will sort her at some stage!! once i've mot'd and have her back on the rd,then im very unlikly to sell her!!!!!
For someone who knows what they are doing,this would be a very easy car to get back on the rd!
in my case,its just going to take a liitle longer!!!!!

Ohhhh getting shot of the mini huh?
Sorry to hi-jack, but is it being replaced or just a downsize to fit the new lifestyle?
