I,ve done an ebay listing which is all up to date:
Up for sale is my BX TZD in faded red. I originally bought the car last year to tour europe with but since then my financial situation has changed and now I am no longer able to do this. These cars are becoming very rare now and since owning the car last August I have only ever seen one other BX on the road. The car is a pleasure to drive and is the most comfortable car I have ever driven, I recall one journey of 6 hours driving non stop and at the end feeling no fatigue. The car is good for the pocket too as it is only insurance group 8 and will easily acheive 50mpg+ on a run, it may also be possible to insure on a classic car policy. The car has MOT until 23rd July and is currently sorn. I don't think the car will need much work for the next MOT as it has only been driven for 3 months since last August and was has been garaged the rest of the time. One of the best aspects of this particular car is the engine which pulls very well in all gears and never uses any oil or cooant whatsoever. The car was serviced around 500 milese ago changing oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter. The suspension works as it should with no odd noises or knocking, however the front suspension is a little hard and could do with a new pair of front spheres. These are available for about £21 each and are apparently very easy to fit.
Bad bits
The charging system does not appear to charge the battery properly and eventually the battery goes flat. I have fitted a new battery but I think the problem is still there. It could be somthing simple like a bad earth or at worst the alternator could have packed up.
The ABS light is on, has been like this since I bought the car but the brakes work perfect.
There is a bit of rust on the door sills although its not too bad and would probabily be quite easy to take care of.
front suspension is a little hard and could do with spheres replacing.
Red paint is quite faded and is actually a little worse than it looks in the pictures.
the remote central locking does not work although it works fine with the key.
Please messege me with any questions. Viewing and inspections welcome, but please only buy the car if you intend to pay the advertised price, the car is very reasonably priced and is not much more than scrap value.
Thanks for looking
