That just goes to show you are never too old to learn.
It would appear that an apology from me to Gyp is called for due to a lack of observation & knowledge on my part. as I have never shown any interest in the phase 1 Valver and my experience has been limited to that of phase 2 valvers only. So apologies to you and thanks to those who have more knowledge than I.
I will now stand in the corner with a dunce's cap on !

Shouldn't worry about it Roy, I'm no expert, I just play one on the internet.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Have a quick look at :-

http://www.bx16valve.co.uk/Web/P1PressPack.pdf

The wheels are 6J to accommodate the 195 rubber, the bumpers are standard 8V except for the black 16V "splitter" (if that's the right term) that extends below the front.

Quite what happened to the steering wheel I don't know - I bought it and fitted it, but didn't like it compared to the original one as it got in the way of my thumbs. I thought it was still on there until I got in to take the photos.

Splitters were fitted to upper range diesels and petrols aswell.
Including later GTi 8valves.

Ah well, splitter or no, it definitely seems that no-one actually wants it! :cry:

So, I've popped it in the free ads in Practical Classics, and if I get no response there it's off to the big BX park in the sky.

Unless anyone can suggest where might be a good place to advertise it, but as I've mentioned before, it's not realistic for me to spend an lot of time flogging it.

Retro-Rides might be a good bet.

Looks like Roy's turning up with a trailer tomorrow :)

Hopefully there will be lots of happy posts afterwards as he delights in his new car.

I look forward to following it's re-birth (or whatever he wants to do with it) with interest.
