Not with the cambelt having bust i'm afraid, its scrap prices on this regardless of how nice the rest of it is. For extreme enthusiasts only as it is an unloved model & i doubt the garage will let the car go for scrap price either....wish i was wrong, but petrol auto just what you dont want, unless you have an ailment or cant drive a manual.
Anyways, its not going to be saved.

Where is this right man though? Most people aren't going to bid that much on an unfashionable and (according to some people) quirky, complicated unreliable car.Roverman wrote:Low mileage autos are still in demand, the last few that went on ebay fetched good money, £400-£500 isnt much for a tidy car with a MOT these days no matter what it is.
I think its worth £400 all day long to the right man if its as clean as it sounds.
Stuff like automatic Astras, Micras, Corsas, Rover 214s etc will sell all day long if in reasonable nick.
Unfortunately eBay isn't even a good guide anymore due to the amount of idiots on there.

Bottom line is this. The car isn't worth saving. Didn't even take a pic. no point as it wasn't unmarked/perfect. OK it would have come up OK with a lot of spit and polish, but looked like it had been standing for a while so a bust engine would unlikely to be the only issue. And unless it sold for £750 plus, (as if!), it's not a viable undertaking for him. Even an enthusiast DIYer would be hard-pressed to justify it.
It's going to end up in bits.

Ah right, sorry, didnt realise thats what you meant Tim.
Got to agree with you Billy, there is demand for small autos, but the bx is rather a large beast with questionable looks & dodgy suspension, so demand is ultra low from general public.
Only worth saving if you actually wanted to have a bx petrol auto, there arent even many of us in the club who'd want one even if it was working, perhaps if it was free.
Anyways, shall we go onto another topic as this one is a dead duck, the car is literally. Who knows, once cubed it might get fabricated into some shiny new bx parts destined for gsf
