That's what you call a 'sleeper' - frighteningly fast under that shabby facade! Or perhaps not, more like a 'workhorse' on its last trot towards the scrappie!

It's been knocking about for the past 6 years here... I don't think it ever gets a wash. The owner is a school caretaker... not sure if he washes either lol.

There is something that I really like about this one, don't know what though. I would love to get my hands on a BX like this.

Imagine that with a 16 valve motor running NOS. Ultimate Q car.

Just joking! I met him in the local chippie once and he said it had over 350,000 miles on it and never failed an MOT. I must say, I wouldn't mind knowing what he has on the MOT man

it looks like one of those that will keep going till every door falls off. The beige is almost pink. Window wind deflectors as well, maybe it had enough love in it's early life to see it through to a ripe old age. But please get some wheels trims on! Makes all the difference in my view. Broken ones even, in fitting with the shed-chic of this particular example.
