Inspector Morose Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 of my cars littering the street, so one of them has to go. Well, it's obvious to me that the one to get rid of is the most practical and cheapest to run so..... Autoshite bike 1988 Citroen BX 1.9 RD for sale. Tax to get home, Test March 2016. In it's fetching shade of metallic light blue and rust, this fine conveyance has been a dependable workhorse all of the time that I've had it, buying it from Dollywobber in May 2014. My ownership has seen it deteriorate visually yet mechanically, it has had whatever it needed. New front discs, radiator steering rack inner ball joints, track rod ends and rear brake pads to name some of the random things I have fitted to it for no reason whatsoever. To improve* comfort and the feeling of luxury I have also fitted the seats and door cards from a scrap BX 16v and a set of Speedline wheels with new tyres (ex ruffgeezer). Being a N/A 1.9 diesel, it's not the quickest thing in the world but it will get you there. It did provide me with conveyance to one of the Scotoshite monthly meets earlier in the year and back without drama and I'd trust it to get anywhere in the country, albeit slowly. Bosch pump for added veginess, if you're into that sort of thing. It's scruffy but solid in the right places (so Mr MoT said at it's last test) but it really could do with some TLC. Paint is Gone on the rear wheelarch lips (not rotted through though) and the tailgate is now more bare plastic white than car coloured.I fitted a non dented wing on the front nearside and threw some roughly the right colour paint at it. It looks shit but it's straight and I took the opportunity to clean out and repaint the inner wing area while I was at it. Mechanically, it could do with the rear arm bearings doing and the front nearside strut is a bit creaky. Other than that it's OK (I think). Comes with some spares, spare dash, full (I think) set of workshop manuals, headlights, front door with SF14 painted on it in something sticky and whatever else related I've got in my storage at work. Sorry folks but I need a sale so it won't be a raffle this time. What to ask? Tricky as prices for BXs are on the (slow)up but this isn't the shiniest and most sorted example out there. I paid 500 and have probabaly sunk about 300 in bits on it... Say £600? happy to negotiate for the right home and will deliver for a train ticket back to Birmingham.

Inspector Morose Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'd have raffled it but really could do with a straight sale TBH. Things have been developing at FPB7 towers of late that I'd rather not go into here and bore you all senseless. Just assume they are not good things. I might have to clear the decks completely. But that's not happening yet. No Mr Wobbler, the wonderful folk* at work skipped it while I was away on a roadshow last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
