Speedline wanted!

Post by anorthfield »

Thanks to a charming Land Rover driver forcing us off the road to avoid hitting him head-on, we are left with two wrecked Speedlines. We had one spare, so we have three in total. Does anyone know of one for sale, please?

I had similar a few years back with a Qashqai - which I now call Squashkies... :lol:
Dinged the o/s sill.

Good luck finding a wheel.

Thanks for the good luck wishes. I know Speedlines are scarce. Hopefully just wanting one makes it a little easier. Tyres were of course wrecked as well, one of which was a Mich less than 1000 miles old. Needless to say, Landie didn't bother to stop.

6J 16v ones seem more common than 5.5J width at the moment.

How badly dented are they? I found it easier to have two of mine repaired recently than replaced when I hit a mega pothole.

Only the GTi 4x4 and hurricane came with the 5.5j as standard.

..that_ With a SILVER finish !

The ONLY other SILVER finished Speed-lines where Phase one 16 Valver's (As O/E equipment with 6J's) !

ALL other BX's with O/E Graphite Speed-line's were 6'J's !

:wink:

You could order GTi/TZDs (although I imagine any BX you ordered) with 5.5J Speedlines in silver if you wanted as an optional extra.

They are quite badly damaged, so the possibility of repair is quite remote. The three that we have are a mixture of 5.5J and 6J, two of which are graphite and one silver. So either size or colour will suit, as beggars can't be choosers. I was just hoping that there would be one somewhere out there, but no luck so far.

Try Mark at Edwards & Sons, Citroen breakers. http://www.edwardsandson.co.uk - you might be lucky finding one (or more).

Thanks very much for that suggestion. I used them regularly many years ago, and had forgotten all about them. I've just rung them, to find that regrettably they are closed and reopen on 20 Jan; I shall try them then. Meanwhile if anyone else has any, I'd be very keen to hear from them.

I could buy all four from you and offer my spare ones for sale to others, if you'd be willing to sell all four. Otherwise at the moment I can't see a way forward and can't use the car.
