Coo eee! That's looks nice. 8) Lovely colour. I don't think I've seen a BX in that colour before. What is it?
Could easily go for over a grand this one if it's as nice as it looks?

I've just remembered Paul, I had a TZD on 'H' plate (Which had a blown head-gasket) in that colour it was 'Memphis Blue' although when initially looking @ this 'E-Bay listing' it looked almost 'Triton Green' but the the DVLA confirms its 'Blue' :-

It does have a turquoise sort of tinge to it Richard - a bit greener than either of the blues in the colour chart? It looks like that turquoise colour that you often see lots of ZXs in?

That is bloody gorgeous

Memphis Blue ain't it? - from memory, Pacific was non-metallic and darker than it looks in repro above.

I think it quite suits the ZX alloys. Preston is close to me if any one wants me to have a look.

That could be to your advantage! At one time most BX's lived in preston....

Note the broken aerial, missing osr rubbing strip, but it has TXD bumper inserts and grille plus rear headrests!

Lancaster also had a high proportion of BX estates, as the taxi firms bought them in bulk. Used to be about 15 TZD's floating around, all in white, with consecutive number plates. Now it's Skoda Octavia's. Even the Mayor of Lancaster uses a Skoda Superb. How times are a changing!!
