1987 BX 19RD
1987 BX 19RD
As I mentioned in the gallery the time has come that I have to sell my BX.
I have absolutely loved owning this but unfortunately it just doesn't meet my needs any more.
Taxed until the end of March and MOT'd until April 6th. Mileage is approx. 124,000 (will double check this in half an hour and edit to correct it to exact).
The first thing I would mention is an occasional rubbing / knocking noise coming from somewhere around the nearside wheel arch, this is recent and I haven't had it looked at.
Loads and loads of paperwork, the first owner was apparently an engineer and serviced the vehicle himself for 19 years, then the guy I bought it from had it briefly (he bought it as it was too good to let someone else have but soon realised it was no use for what he needed a car for). Since I have owned it it has had work done by Rignall
Garage and more recently (for the last few years) Rob Moss at Chevronics has taken care of it.
Last March it had a new timing belt, replacement front spheres and osf steering rack gaiter.
Sunroof was leaking when I first got it so I just taped it up with black tape, could do with doing again to tidy it up.
Also the drivers seat is well worn but my girlfriend has done a reasonable job of sewing it up with grey wool
That's all I can think of for now.
These pics were taken a few years ago but I think they are a fair representation of how the car looks now, I will take new pics tomorrow when I have room on the driveway to move it about.
I am in Aldbury (Nr Tring) HP23 5RR.
Feel free to ask any questions but as you might remember from my few previous posts my knowledge of cars it limited to say the least but I will do my best.
I am going to be 100% honest and say I don't really have any idea what this BX is worth now so I am basically open to offers (mods if this requires a firm price please let me know and I will have to come up with something).
Thanks...

Tom, time and funds permitting I think it would be worth you putting it through an mot, then at least you and any prospective buyer would know what needs doing to it and if it passes that would certainly up the value of it

ok , I totally understand,
can you give me a ball park figure of what you would like for the car ( by p.m. if you prefer),
depending on what it needs for an mot, this could either turn out to be a good reasonably priced BX or a very expensive splitter

Exact mileage is 124958.
Also need to mention that there are currently no wheel trims on the car, I originally had 3 and then 2 went for a walk so I removed the last one. I bought 4 spanking unused ones from Jayboy on here but never got around to fitting them so I have offered them back to him.
No interest as yet and this has to go soon.

So here we have a diesel BX with a couple of minor issues (and probably needing one or two more things admittedly), with drive-away tax and ticket with low -ish mileage for a car of that age, in good cosmetic order (bar wheel trims, but, meh), with history (some recently with Rob Moss, which is generally a good sign!)... for 'get-rid-of-quick' money... (might be a good idea to share an idea of price on here?)
And nobody's taken it on?!!??
You can't all be as broke as me. (I would if I could!)
