Not sure what the phase 1's mileage is at the moment as I haven't seen it in a while. My Dad dug it out to tax it last week, and get it MOTd and he e-mailed me to say it's only done 1,408 miles between MOTs!
I know it's under 50k, and was under 40k when we got it with full SH from Citroen and all the bills/old MOTs.

I could never do that with a car - it has to be driven, fiddled with, used and appreciated every day. I like to see minters dont get me wrong (put me at the NEC Cla$$ic car show with all the 70's stuff and Im in heaven), but I just could never keep one for "Sunday" myself no matter what it was.

Marty - you would have enjoyed the pep talk we G owners were given on Sunday. We were told to use our G's every day, because then components will wear out and need replacing - and then companies will bother to stock them, because there is a need.
The BX is at that danger point where they are being scrapped because they need minor work... but I think the argument still holds. Use 'em! Fix 'em! Keep using 'em!

for sure - I've scrapped cars too (and felt absolutely awful about it) but only when they were well and truly dead. The point of the pep-talk Brian gave us at the CCC National was that everyday use is fine, because it will encourage people like Rob Moss in the GS world - and someone like him WILL appear for BXs - to carry on their business of remanufacturing parts.
