BX Club Forum

So I'm 3 weeks into BX ownership and so far so good! I thought I'd post a few photos and introduce myself......

Having been a life-long Citroen fanatic with a few cars under my belt (2cv, Visa, Xsara, DS plus a few Pug 205's) I figured it was about time to try a BX. I bought this one from another forum member, 2 owners from new (the first up until 1 year ago) full main dealer service history and 66k on the clock was all very attractive to a non-mechanic like me!











So far I've had it serviced and the cam belt replaced, I've fixed the non-blowing blower, cured a squeaky steering wheel and shampooed the interior. Managed to get some original rubber mats (thanks for the spot, Tim!) and a sunroof wind deflector - on the hunt for some mudflaps but think they might be a hard find! Still some big jobs to do, rear arm bearings and spheres in the next few months and a dozen little jobs that I'll tackle as and when I have the time.

Above all I'm really enjoying driving it - hope to get to some meets soon.

Nice motor, keep up the good work and may i wish you many more miles of BXing.

Looking good mate, the X rally is probably the one to go to asides the ICCR.

That is so like my first BX. Love it.

Did you get the tax situation sorted with vendor?

Not yet I'm afraid, I'm in the process of trying to contact him. Hoping it's just another oversight

By the way Tim, hope you noticed the pin stripes!

Hmm strange that ey. I think its whats called a selective memory!

There's something so beautiful and simple about a TG spec BX in that silver, really nice looking car, if it was a 14 i'd be very jealous

Nice looking car, & with rare green tinted rear lights

Lovely looking car! Welcome to BX ownership - you won't regret it, though your credit card might be more circumspect I imagine! Having said that as a died in the wool 'Citroeniste' I'm sure you know that already?

'Gris nacre metallise'/grey/tweed interior on TGs does look nice. There are one or two other fans of that particular combination about these parts - me included.

That 'D' lurking in the background looks very NICE! Do you have any pics of that?

Thanks Mulley - I'm showing my naivety here but I didn't realise that there were different coloured tints on the rear lights? Would the others have been grey?

They do a pinky red, green, a light smoked(which looks a little bit blue) and a dark smoked.

Hi Paul, well it would be rude not to share a few pictures of the D!




a 1973 DS23 Pallas in 'beige tholonet' with mustard cloth seats and rare front fogs, LHD with semi-auto box. Like driving a space ship - utterly brilliant. I've owned this for almost 5 years now, but alas she's for sale - I just don't drive her enough to justify the maintenance costs (I almost had to re-mortgage the house when the gearbox packed up!). The BX is kind of a DS replacement - and after the DS (these might be famous last words) the BX is going to seem very cheap to run!

I also have a low-mileage 2CV and a very low mileage 205....




(I know you didn't ask for photos of those but I got carried away!)

Cor, not seen KYE for many years! 205 looks lovely too. They will be a definite classic of the future.
