Not seen this one but it does look nice, I would love a Black BX.

I got confused with what he wrote about the mileage at first but get it now, must be around 143,000.

That peeling lacquer and sealed sunroof would put me off TBH. Black's good, I had a black GTi but it shows every dent and they are time-consuming to keep clean...

I think if you had a closer look at that car it would be tattier than the pics suggest, as Phil says black cars are hard to keep clean and in good condition, the lighter colours seem to "wear" better.

hmmmmm who cares if it's rusty or not, if it's difficult to clean, don't go near the damn thing!

That's ace! Currently chasing a Cavalier but sorely tempted by this BX if the Cav doesn't come off. BX just needs blacked out windows now to complete the theme.

Go for the BX, you know it makes sense! You don't really want a Cavalier do you, really?

Err, I'll let you guess the answer to that one :lol: It's not just a Cavalier either, it's the greatest car ever made as it's the 8V 130 engined Mk3 SRi.

It can only be Hampshire or Staffordshire :!:

So if its Staffordshire, who ever buys the ^^bx> could make a nice day out picking it up and having a day out @ Alton Towers Theme Park .

Mind you its a bit cold for that that sort of activity just at the moment and its probably not open at this time of the year :!:

It must be Hampshire, I thought it was Staffordshire at first.

Alton Village is just next to Alton Towers and about 60-80 miles from Preston, the eBay thing is showing 195 miles from here!

Not sure why a garage or anyone who wasn't going to tow a caravan would fit a towbar. Apart from devaluing the car, they weren't cheap to fit.
