For sale: BX Meteor

[Fabergé Greggs]

Oooft! It isn’t one of these, but I’m in the right neighbourhood. 

[jonny69]

You've arrived just a little late to see that pub in its prime. If only you'd been there just a few years ago!  

[bangernomics]

A gold rover 45 diesel saloon with a flat spare tyre.

[TataBobu]

Fire engined Fiat seicento, in yellow?

[w00dy]

A Lancia Kappa Coupe with an Isuzu 1.7TD conversion?

[Fabergé Greggs]

Some more archishite for you 

[Jim Bell]

New Wine Church?

 

I understand all of those words but that sentence makes no sense. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Eglise de Beaujolais, presumably.  I'll drink some

This was my first thought, but can't find one quite the same.

[loserone]

Allegro equipe?

[barrett]

Blimey, you're (sort of) in my neck of the woods. Did you see the ENORMOUS Stymie Bold Italic round the corner from the Art Déco God building?

[Jim Bell]

I said Allegro from the start. If it's a Sprots one, I'll eat a bag of chips. 

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

I recognise that stripe, why, it's the stripe of winarz...

[Fabergé Greggs]

Go on then. More detailed pics to follow, but right now I’ve got to stop living the dream and get back to work. 
 

bramz gets 9/10. 

[bramz7]

Ace! I wonder how these drive with the auto box?

[SierraMikeHotel]

Slowly.

I've had several variations of BX, the 1.9 N/A diesel auto was far and away the slowest car I've owned. Doesn't matter though, you're in a BX to cruise not race!

Tip top buying, I bloody love these (as I may have mentioned before). Bonus points for it being a Meteor, too.

[Jim Bell]

YES. 

AND YES AGAIN. 

[HMC]

THAT

Is liquid shiteing 

[jonny69]

Tell me about this Meatier. Is that just a trim level or something more exciting?

[barrett]

It's mid spec. Meat is the low spec version, and Meatiest is the full-fat all bells and whistles deluxe.

I think it's basically a GTi interior on a 1.6 pez or n/a diesel. So an n/a equivalent of a TD TXD. Or something.

[Fabergé Greggs]

Spoiler, don’t forget the spoiler. That and a GTI interior. Apt given its the slowest car of all time.  
 

I mean it’s slow, but then I was using a Daf 66 as a daily for a while, and it’s definitely quicker than that. Having said that, I haven’t yet been out of a 30mph zone. 
 

I really really wanted an auto, I just think BX’s suit them. It’s all space, glass and slow waft.

It looks like you get 16V seats and steering wheel but the poverty spec dashboard.

What dipstick thought painting the wheels black was a good idea?

[Lacquer Peel]

It's an NA diesel auto? I've not seen them with such a nice trim before. Looks bloody lovely.

Yeah, Bosch pump too for veggie fun which is exactly what I’ve been after for some time. An estate would have been the absolute dream, but I’m not about to start complaining. 

[dome]

You absolute winner!

I had a 1.6 pez Meteor in the late 90s in that exact colour, absolutely loved that car. The 1.6 petrol pulled to the red line in 5th with an idiot behind the wheel. I stuck a set of 205 1.9 alloy onto it and thought I was the bees knees.

[Eyersey1234]

In the early 90s my grandparents had a BX, a 1.4 pez St Tropez which I believe was a povo spec special edition with some snazzy graphics and a sunroof. 

[Jim Bell]

The verdict from Maureen and Norman is in. 

 

[DoctorRetro]

I may have had a small accident in the trouser department... 

Swap for Perodua Kelisa? ???

[Noel Tidybeard]

damn i knew they was citreon type stripes but couldn't be arse to comment!
