Are you thinking of importing one? There's usually a few to choose from on Leboncoin.

A long way to drive if its not as good as you hoped, LHD can be a pain and bespoke parts over here are impossible, but on the flip side it's not expensive.

If its French & its that price, its probably a pile of poo, but you could get lucky i guess. A bx sport is mega rare in the UK, LHD could potentially be a bit of a problem because there will be specific parts that will only fit it & a rhd part may not, so really as per Tim's comment above. Its a long way for a gamble tbh, but then again you could decide to view it as an adventure & make a holiday out of it & if the car is a shed, walk away & enjoy the holiday :)

Just of note. Not sure why there is a problem with parts for an LHD BX?
All the parts i have needed for Sophie [lhd] i have found and sourced in the UK with no problem at all.
In fact, some things, like the heater matrix, were much easier to fit with no steering column in the way. I would be interested to know what you cant get over here for a left hooker that i might need badly?
