Yes a shame its to move on. I have seen it a few times at our little meets up in Worcs. However I can understand a change, not least with winter homing in.

Hello all,

I was the lucky winner of this fantastic car, had the it for two weeks now and have loved every minute of it. This is the first BX i've owned and i have to admit to knowing bugger all about engines and the like, However definately going to try my best to keep this beauty running. Any tips or advice on maintainance will be very much appreciated.

welcome along, good car you got there and at a very reasonable price. think that one will be worth a fair bit in the future not many 8v around anymore.

Welcome - I'm possibly in a minority here, but I prefer the 8v version to the 16v - nice car that!
