Looks like a scrap car dealer, who thinks hes struck gold! 8000 miles it may be, but its still a 1.6 petrol in white with no power steering. If that was a TZD turbo or 16v he would have a fight on his hands!

he did go to a bit of trouble, he did put "8 thousand" rather than "8k", but not sure what milage is ... a French jet ?

EDIT: my son says milage is in dictionary.com ....also he did manage to spell Citroen properly

mmm. The Nobel prize for literature goes to . . . someone else

Having said that 8000 miles is 8000 miles and the 'BX Milage'; very few of those built! You never know could be 'bob on'?

Indeed it could be a diamond in the rough, anywone live up that way who could take a peek? The god awful advert could keep it cheap, this must be the lowest mileage BX left in the UK IF its genuine.

I've been to this guys yard, yes he was a bit illusive to track down, even when we got there. But I have to say he was right enough to deal with and very helpful in us getting the bits we wanted.

15 years in storage! That means quite a bit of investment needed to get it on the road, even if the mileage is right. I can imagine just how creaky the front struts might be.

Still, its some find.

and a petrol & no power steering, In fact the last BX I would ever want and I have no interest in it what so ever, i'll just report back if it is a little gem that needs saving by those who like to get high on petrol fumes!

Hmm it may have power steering as it was an option, but I agree not the most desireable, but they drive well.
