Honestly I've never been a fan of french cars, deffo not citroen. Recently I met up with a friend I have known since the age of 5 and took me for a spin in his bx, I was amazed!!
I have a well sorted mx5 that handles well, but the way the bx treated the road surface was beyond words.
Cutting the long story short I found one last sunday for sale for 400euro, the tax had just ran out and needed an mot. The car is a 1990 1.4(modern engine) with only one owner. 2 little bits of rust flaking, less than a square inch between the lot of them, 73k on the clocks but filthy.
The owners didn't want to sell it to me prior the name changed on the v5 equivalent - we go do it at an office here and its done in 30mins.
The car was not allowed on MOT since it has a broken tail lamp, a broken front indicator and a blowing exhaust.
The owners decided they're sending it to the crusher!!!
I spent 1.5 hours at about 150 wpm trying to convince them to give it to me but they wont.....and there goes a perfectly good bx - (its been on the drive for ages, I didn't find any oil leaks) to waste
probably there are less than 20 left on the island.
I currently feel like a 5 year old who was promised of being taken to the playground, but was fooled!!
probably sharing this story with citroen lovers would make me feel slightly better.
Thanks for reading this
