Looks like photos taken of photos or a screen or something! Low mileage though and nice spec.

EDIT - it's out of section and spelt wrong as well! Could be a steal.

Pikeying my autoshite posts are we?

I'm more impressed that someone actually bought a Blackberry Playbook! Wicked car though, peculiar trim.

Well, it needed sharing!

I'd actually be seriously interested if it wasn't so far away. I quite fancy trying a 1.9 non-GTi.

The OP link gives a listing with the pictures but not much else (Is it a manual or Auto) etc. ?
But I would say its definitely an AUTO as they seem to have got the one vehicle posted twice

If they don't cancel one of the E-BAY listings that could become a bit tricky if they get bidders on both listings and they have two buyers for one BX (registered, H241 ODA )

Also note that listing with the pictures states one lady owner:-

E-Bay Seller wrote: This is a Citroen BX. One lady owner from new with 42k miles. I am selling for a friend, on the logbook is registered as disabled tax but can be easily changed with the dvla. It has been well looked after throughout its life and has been stored in a garage. For the past few years only taken out for its mot and service. Still drives really well.
Bad bits
The exhaust is starting to blow, the passenger side mirror is broken (glass is fine just the plastic around it) and there are a few minor scratches on the passenger side low down.
Any other questions please ask viewings are also welcome.

Yet the listing with-out the pictures state 'One previous owner' therefore making it two owners !

E-Bay Description wrote: Colour: Red

Nonetheless still a very nice spec./looking BX (When those naff Halfraud trims are removed and replaced by the correct type) I'm sure this one will make strong money (Maybe one for Mick or his SWMBO) ?

Good luck to whoever secures this one !

EDIT (Added the following) :-

So as my above post makes correct reading, I see that the E-Bay seller has now pulled the listing WITH-OUT the photo's, as its in their completed listings now, (I wonder if they've been reading this thread) ?

Didn't realise they made them this late with the rear quarter-lights?

Yep up until a 91, the 92MY saw them deleted, rare car the TZI, I have one (took me 4 years to find it) and its a great drive if a bit thirsty. Lovely mileage too!

Lovely spec. and a nice rare car for someone (5 autos and 2 manuals in 2011 according to 'How many left'). Deserves to make top money if it's as good as it looks?

Hmm, I would be surprised if it makes strong money, its a petrol auto which puts people off, which is a shame as they seem to be reliable.

You're probably right. I still think it deserves a 'loving home'. If it was in Olympic blue or a nice grey metallic I'd be considering which member of my immediate family I could sell into slavery to stump up a few quid.

At that mileage and rarity, not to mention, it's a lovely looking BX... My advice would be to go for it, if you can afford it...

Economy aside, it'll feel about as luxurious as a BX can LOL

proper spoiler. proper rear quarter windows. proper dash.proper gearbox, wrong colour

Post by **Tim Leech** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 10:53 pm

If I didnt have mine I would go for it, although I prefer it in white.

Whoever buys it will need a new steering wheel as its has one of those "steering balls" fitted which always leave a big dent where they sit.

I do have a set of the correct wheel trims and a new exhaust in my store

Sadly, I'm out due to distance, lack of funds and more than enough cars to keep on top of already. It is very tempting though.
