The 16v: You never know what it's like, but on the surface it seems a good one. The list of replacement parts is well impressive.

£103 with 8 days to go. Worth a punt, Djoptix?

During my period of self-doubt and BX owning panic today

, it was partly this that helped me decide to sell now - for anything like 'market value' - would be a non-starter. A broken filler neck: is that a fiddly /expensive job? Does it point to serious inner rear wing corrosion?

And the gearbox sounds like it might need some time and money spending. But it does look good in white doesn't it.

Call me a cynical old basket - but whenever I see the Mi6 I instantly think its been put there to entice Pug 205 owners.

I'm inclined to agree, but I hope that it's there to attract people who were searching for a 405 Mi16 as a 'classic' and entice them ino the Citroen world...

Ahhh, it's THAT valver again..
I nearly got run over by that very car being driven by a woman a couple of years ago!

It sounded mighty healthy, and yes it looks the bollocks.
Filler neck corrosion failure is well known and easy enough to fix, not expensive either.

As for the gearbox, fresh BV would probably help things for the interim, but even if it needs a et of synchro's, they are still available, and BE3 boxes are easy as hell to rebuild.
Alas I think it's destined for a pug conversion aswell, the MI16 addage is always bad news, which is a great shame, for that looks like a really good example.
If I had the space I'd have a punt, but I'm trying to reduce the fleet, not increase it..
