I remember druelling over them when they were new on the stand in the late 1980s

How shiny is that? I've never seen a red BX that was still red.

Well...just to prove a point!

This is the only picture I have of mine after I have washed it. Taken about 18 months ago - in fact the last time I washed it!

And taken just before it turned Pink

Was the BX red the same red (Cherry Red) as the 205GTi was so often painted in? That used to go a sort of tomato orange. Mine was still nice and red though and rare because of it...

Erm, no. The P1 on the stand and Mats, and Kitchs, and my TD are all Venetian Red, but Citroen venetian red as opposed to any other Venetian red, which is a tad darker, or in Fords case lighter...

Although my TD is more pink than red now, and will be restored and resprayed as soon as the bus is finished, so it'll be red again for a week!
