dozeydustman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sorry if done before. Citroën BX11. I don’t speak Italian so I have know idea if he’s describing this as mingebag or what. apparently only available in a handful of markets (Italy, Portugal and Greece) whereas most other countries got the BX14 (later BX14 E) as the base spec. 54hp in a biggish car must be dire.

It was seemingly imported new by De Tomaso agent Emilia Concessionaires but I've never been able to find out any more about it. It's spent most of its life standing still in the showroom but made a very rare and brief public appearance at last year's FOTU.

From London to New York, a little ambitious and judging by the fact there don't seem to be any New York pictures in google images , presumably they failed and everything is at the bottom of The Bering Strait. There was a documentary that followed the preparation and explained that some sort of amphibious tank thing was going to tow the cars across the Strait, but I never saw anything after the initial launch. I remember watching that on TV. I believe it was hosted by Nicky Campbell and Blue Peter and King Cinder sex thimble Peter Duncan was one of the drivers along with a senior girl scout. I can imagine them in bunk beds and him peering over with a toothy grin and telling her that it's only natural for her to want to see and touch his aroused penis.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Designed by the same man, Larry Shinoda, to be sold alongside the Corvette with a mid mounted Corvair derived flat 6. It only took GM another 50 odd years to adopt the mid-engined layout for the Corvette. Pity it doesn’t look more like the Astro and less like a homemade Ferrari kit.

tul66 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I seriously thought about buying that around maybe 15 years ago when it came up for sale, was around £15k if I remember rightly. Not too bad for a 1 off concept car. It was 1 of 3 different types based on the Gamma although I did prefer the Ogliata myself though which was the 3 door one in the picture.

I remember a few years ago when the statistics were released for the 2009 scrappage scheme , people were shocked to see Morgans and Quattros amongst other things on the list, No doubt, Spartans/Moss roadsters, Coupe or 80 quattros that at some point had been listed wrong on the logbook, either by mistake or for profit. A trader friend always upgraded Cortinas, Sierras etc from L to GL etc when changing ownership. He reckoned at least 50% of the time it was successful.
