Really nice motor bud, keep looking after her. Ime not at all sure about the steering wheel though, original one much nicer.

Re: My 1983BX 16 RS
Sounds a bit like how I navigated to the 2CV world meeting at Most a few years back:anyone fancy a trip to Germany? It's easy to get there, you just turn left at France and we can all stay at Todds!
Drive to Dover
Get on the ferry to France
Get off the ferry and join the E40 eastbound
After approximately 2 days*, turn right at Dresden!
*yes I know that's a long time, but it was in a Lomax that sprayed oil over the windscreen over 50 mph due to shot crank seals and a bent crank!

Also you must have gone to a lot of time trouble and expense to change/modify that over to your 'Rare option' (as you call it) , I dare say by using a donor MK2 steering wheel column ?




As the MK1 steering wheel /\ , centre spindle is an integral part of the steering wheel, unlike the MK2 which has a splined spindle/nut fastening at the top end, just under the central pad/cover !

The centre spindle is two-parted like the original spindle and on the top it has seven screwholes (?) to fix every wheel from MotoLita you want to. Its an option I have never seen before

Hello Thomas,
I live about 2-3 hours south of you, near Konstanz. Nice early BX you've got there. Bracht is near Düsseldorf yes? I just sold a black BX16v that went up that way after spending its whole life down here in the south.
This is my daily ride :
