Following a 6 month old tip off from Remy ( member :BX19GTI1988) we went in search of a Mk.1 estate lying in a scrapyard in Mulhouse, just across the Rhine in France. Unfortunately the said item had been cubed but found a recently arrived 1985 BX16TRS which gave up many parts and strangely had an immaculate interior and complete owner and service history in the glovebox! ( the tailblazer was cactus - cracked I reckon from having the number plate ripped off)
BX Milleseme - nothing that I needed
Many XMs, one with very nice leather interior
Hit two other yards - the 10 odd BXs that were there last year have all gone to hydraulic heaven - nothing!
Had a very good run, camped by the Rhine in the old bus two nights. Got a pile of parts for €50 including the long sought Mk.1 Break gas struts!
