Only the rear bumper lets this car down, the rest of the car is unmarked and does little to betray its 140K. The current owner (once he stopped and I gave him a flyer) isnt an enthusiast, and uses a local Cit specialist. He has owned the car for about 6 or 7 years - I jumped out at the lights just after this photo was taken on my phone and gave him a flyer - dont worry the lights have a long delay when they go to red. It looks like he has had a recent exhaust, but its either poorly fitted or an aftermarket one. It also has a towbar with twin electrics which whilst not new, certainly doesnt look the age of the car.
I was quite intregued by the hoop spoiler and the little lip spoiler too.


I didnt notice the colour of his chevrons.....

I flyered two at the weekend, one in Faversham and one in Ashford, after a loong spell thinking that the BX was extinct in the South-East. The Ashford one was French, so goodness knows what they make of the the site. Mind you it had National Trust and a couple of other UK organisation stickers in the window, so my guess is that it is an import that hasn't been re-registered.
