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.

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.

It lives next to a Red BX
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.

Edmund, Its been re-listed if you look at my original post !edmundhill685 wrote: Yes, I missed that. Oops. I would've bid on that. Let me know if in the future you ever want to sell your blue one, if you found yourself the perfect silver one
Show's there's some still around though!
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
Good luck with it if you get it !

Re: BLUE BX wanted.
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....RxBX wrote: Edmund, Its been re-listed if you look at my original post !
