A BX Gti 8 valver was for sale beyond you in a scrap yard near Ledbury. To complicated a mode of purchase when I looked into it, Some scrap auction thing. I bet it did not sell and a drive by with a wedge would probably get it. But then is it all its meant to be? Auctions, dodgy.
Yes the lesser Petrols are cheap. They are neither fast nor thrifty. The diesels are just better all round really. But this car looked cheap fun. Anyway my route to it is rather convoluted via the chatroom and it now sounds like others are interested direct. I will give it one shot but I am not going to be mucked about, as its 200 miles away. I have a BX Estate at 120k and a saloon at 70k, both TZD Turbos, which are the best of the breed as far as I am concerned, unless you want speed. Both picked up well over the last few years while I was running the Pug 405 I inherited. These, along with others then passed on so as the two left are the best, owe about £650 the pair. The Estate looks to be costing an extra £150 to put on the road and the other £50 and a lot of labour to change a kerbed front crossmember. Call it a grand, cheap as chips. They offer the prospect of 15 years cheap mileage between them. I think there are two years left to collect a few cheapies and then the supply of BX will be ended. They are creeping up in price now. If I play my cards right they will rise in price as I drive them so minimal depreciation and I avoid all the modern rubbish on a cheaper drivers classic car policy. I just need access to a token modern to comply with insurance rules.
Clearly we share the same taste in cars. I find Mike Webster and other do too. Keep duplicating purchases etc. All rather fun really.
Nothing to do with Trienkels. It seems that topic is dead.
