Putting this up for a friend of my girlfriend. Her father in law sadly passed away earlier on this year and the family are selling on his beloved BX 16v. These cars are incredibly rare now (ironically due to people like me!) and this is a really nice example. I would have it myself, but I've nowhere to keep it. The car is MOT'd to 13th April 2009 and has tax to the end of July. Also has air con, which must have been very pricey to option back in the day! Hydraulics work properly and the car was in daily use up until the owners death. The family would like the car to go to an enthusiast and not someone who will break it (and in reality its far, far too good for that). There are a few spares that will be sold with the car.       They would like in the region of £1000 for the car, but are open to offers. Personally, I've no idea what its worth, especially as there don't seem to be any around to compare the price with! PM me for further info or for the sellers details. |

WOOT! I'll post a link on the BX forums for you. Air con quite rare and is sought after, especially if working. Price seems fair but it's a tough market. Hats off for them wanting it saved and luckily the 205'ers have moved onto newer things mostly now. Nowt wrong with them wanting to make their cars fly but 16Vs are getting scarcer now and deserve saving imho.

Ah crud, didn't realise sorry Mickey. Oh well, a bit more advertising won't harm for the seller I suppose!

Still got it, but live in colden common now. It did alright up the strip. 15.6 was the best, which is the book time. I reckon pulling the headlamp must have added 20bhp haha! Whether it actually got more air to the filter or not I'll probably never know. Did you live nearby then? Don't know ya do I? |

I hope I may abuse this sales topic to ask a question to those people who've actually put a BX engine in a 205 or 309.
I've got a 309 with the XU5 engine (1.6) which uses the same mounts as the XU9's. Recently I ripped the top mount of a BX with an XU5 engine and fitted that to mine. As I could have foreseen but didn't want to think about at the time I now really want to replace my bottom engine/gearbox mount as well...
Does the BX use the same bracket (the one that the driveshafts goes trough) ? If that's the case I'm tempted to go back to the guy and pay some more money for old bushes just as they will be instantly available and then I can use the whole mount so I won't need a press.
