55bloke Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Think it's a Mk XVI. The "if only I had somwhere to put it" excuse not really needed on this occasion!! Oddly, it seems to have most of it's rudder fabric missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Maybe Top Gear can buy it and wreck it Oddly I was thinking of emailing them and offering them my BX - I would be so glad to see the back of it, preferably blown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Leyland Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Great vehicle, would love to have one in the stable. If I had a stable.
