That raised a few points, I have to admit its lack of time more than space, in an ideal world I would have 100 BX's and all the time to tinker with them. Im 40 next year (yes I know I dont look it) and working 50+ hours a week takes it out of me, plus there are other people to consider.

WTF is in stunning condition, but is a 1.6 carb petrol (albeit with a manual choke), has done 45k miles with a full history so when it comes to move it on I guess the market will be limited but it will be to a BX/CCC club member only.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....

Tim, you're where I was ten years ago, and that time flies by.

I have a Rover SD1 ive owned since 1997, which isnt going anywhere, nor is my late father Xantia or the BX TZi which took me 4 years to find, but 6 cars is a little excessive.

Red BXs are growing on me now!

More pics of red BXs Needed! If I could work out how on earth you upload pics, I would upload a couple of the red bx I'm talking about for you guys.

There ya go, though the 16v looks a bit different to regular BXs so maybe not a good comparison.

I like red BXs, but then I like red cars. Red in general in fact! There's a sense of accomplishment when it's not all pink and faded.

It's the wrong colour for me, because I enjoy driving the cars not polishing them. I should really have metallic grey....oh wait I have that too! But I know which one looks better when they're all cleaned and polished.

Olympic blue does look good. Hurricanes look quite good too, and I like those 'platinum' type colours. For a regular BX the metallics seem to work, but on 16v (ph2 models anyway) I like it simple...red, white or black.

Show's there's some still around though!
Edmund, Its been re-listed if you look at my original post !
Also there's no need to bid for it, as its a 'BIN' or make an offer but you may risk loosing it if someone hits the 'BIN' button :wink:

Good luck with it if you get it !

:D

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately it looks like I'm doomed to be without a BX for a while. Ran an insurance quote between that BX and remembered why I usually stick to the 14s. It came out £600 a year more expensive than my current car. Which is fine, so long as I miss then rent for a month or so....
Ami 6 proving to be the most practical classic on the face of the earth as usual again unfortunately.
