Very smart in silver... worth someone's hard-earned, I'd have thought...

It does look very nice.

The 1.6 drives very well although it doesnt quite have the urge of the 1.9.

The question has to be raised yet again about how much BX's are worth.

It seemed to me a couple of years back that BX's had dropped completely out of favour but just recently they seem to be really picking up.

Thats quite worrying in some respects but i guess it does mean people will be prepared to keep them on the road.

I think it`s probably a better thing, Ian. As you say it might mean people will keep their`s on the road but also might hopefully mean people are less inclined to scrap them.
There`ll always be cheap ones about I reckon so I don`t think it`s the end of the world for some BX bargains. I think if anything it`s the 16Vs which have (or had) dropped slightly in price and decent TZD`s which are still high.
Maybe the sensible money is in finding a decent TZD that needs some minor-ish tlc as I believe they will represent great value for money if you can restore/repair yourself.
You could most likely get a decent ish TZD for £300 or under that wants only straight forward repairs which if done properly will mean a long life and also you hopefully won`t lose out if you decide to sell it at some point.
