THIS 1988 CITROEN BX 16 TRS AUTOMATIC, 5 DOOR HATCHBACK, WHITE, BRONZE TINTED GLASS,
ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND SUN ROOF, HAS TRAVELLED ONLY 25,780 MILES APPROX. DURING THE 25 YEARS FROM ORIGINAL REGISTRATION IN OCTOBER 1988.
IT HAS HAD ONE PREVIOUS OWNER, A CLOSE FRIEND AND NEIGHBOUR OF MINE SINCE 1991, SO I HAVE SEEN THE CAR ON MANY OCCASIONS.
I BELIEVE THE BRONZE TINTED WINDOWS TO BE VERY RARE IN THIS MODEL AS ONLY A FEW WERE BUILT IN 1988 BEFORE THEY CHANGED TO BOTTLE GREEN FOR THE CONTINUING MANUFACTURE.
FOLLOWING A BREAK IN TO MY CAR SOME YEARS BACK, I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER’S SIDE DOOR MAIN GLASS, BUT THIS ITEM WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE NEW. AFTER MUCH EFFORT AND COUNTLESS PHONE CALLS I MANAGED TO PURCHASE A USED ONE FROM A BILLERICAY BASED NEW & USED CITROEN PARTS SPECIALIST, PLUS A HAYNES MANUAL FOR MY MODEL. THE GLASS WRAPPED IN BUBBLE IS STILL TO BE FITTED TO CAR.
THIS VEHICLE REALLY IS 'A ONE OF ITS KIND'!
DVLA STATED AT THE START OF 2012 THAT ONLY 7 OF THESE CARS REMAINED LICENSED AND A SIMILAR NUMBER WERE SORN. I IMAGINE THEM ALL TO HAVE HIGH MILEAGE AND PROBABLY ALL HAVE GREEN WINDOWS. THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING SPECIAL TO OWN.
THE WEBSITE howmanyleft.co.uk STATE THERE ARE NO MATCHES FOR MY CAR BUT 2 CLOSE MATCHES.
MY CAR WILL BE FOR SALE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS ON A FAIR BEST OFFER BASIS.
IT WOULD BE AN IDEAL VEHICLE TO SEE THROUGH TO CLASSIC STATUS, BEING 25 YEARS OLD THIS OCTOBER.
IT HAS BEEN GARAGED SORN FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS, FOLLOWING THE DAMAGE DONE FROM THE THEFT ATTEMPT AND HAS HAD £305.00 SPENT ON VARIOUS MAINTENANCE ITEMS INCLUDING A NEW TIMING BELT, BATTERY AND AN MOT CARRIED OUT AT THAT TIME AT 25,740. CERTIFICATE IS AVAILABLE.
A FULL SERVICE HISTORY WILL BE AVAILABLE AT SALE.
THE MECHANICS ARE SUPER BUT I CONSIDER IT REQUIRES A NEW FRONT BUMPER AND NEAR SIDE FRONT WING FOLLOWING GARAGE BARGING BY THE ELDERLY LADY DRIVER.
APART FROM THE FITTING OF THE DOOR GLASS, A PLASTIC PART BENEATH THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NEED REPLACING.
VIEW AT ANY TIME, PLEASE PHONE OR EMAIL FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
.
. Rob's estimate is that sorting out the damage - all listed in the advert, which is fair enough - and recommissioning will run into 4 figures - that's only the "knowns" though, so bargain would be in the eye of the beholder/it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
