Sadly my BX needs to find a new home. Has been my daily driver for the last 12 months and has taken me in style on long trips to Goodwood (Weekender); Essex; North Yorks etc. Keeps up with modern traffic, good mpg, practical load lugger etc. Previous owner (he had it from 1994!) lived in coastal west Wales and to counter the risk of salty wet conditions applied wax to the underside regularly. As a result everything underneath is very well preserved. Not perfect by any means but for a 32 year old unrestored car that has been used throughout that time it’s in remarkable condition.
BUT - and at the advertised price there has to be a BUT Yesterday sadly the engine gave up the ghost - not sure what it is - AA chap thought a valve or crank failure. It had been leaking oil for some time. I have zero mechanical ability or inclination and don't love it enough to want to invest the amount needed to pay someone to fit a replacement engine. This car is far too good to scrap though. Someone will repair or replace this engine and have a fine machine.
