It's an L reg, so worth a few bob 
A bit strange, i can only suspect it's either for scrapping or stripping. Poor owners

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
Kids after scrap value. The owner should contact all the local scrappies to see if it is brought in. Must be at least a hundred times in the last 12 years, I've had some of them asking if I wanted to get rid of mine. Last attempted theft of my 1.4 was in 2004, and deliberately broken rear window on 1.6 was end of May last year - as our US cousins say, go figure.Kitch wrote:Who steals a BX??!!
Actually they are not super easy to steal, get into, yes, but if the steering lock works correctly you may find only straight lining possible....
Now if it had been a 16v'er........

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
We had our Saab stolen and recovered by the Garda here about 5 miles away after it had been abandoned, not sure why, probably joy riders. You can start them with a screwdriver. Lucky to get it back with some bodywork damage to the door lock area and bonnet. It has a hefty chain now through the steering wheel and anchor points.

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
Keeping eyes skinned for it. I don't think scrappers are allowed to take any old car anymore with out a v5 document. But suppose there a few rogues out there.

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
I had many old saabs. Have a 02 Saab aero at mo. But on the old ones I use to remove the spinner on the inside of the dizzy cap to prevent theft.maxgreenwood wrote:We had our Saab stolen and recovered by the Garda here about 5 miles away after it had been abandoned, not sure why, probably joy riders.

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
A Saab tradition was that they had a lock on the gearbox. I do not know when this was dropped, but on the old 96 it would put off the opportunist thief of the day. For a time the Saab was a least stolen car.
The no further news suggests this BX has not yet been found. Bummer

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
Yep still has. Even my 2002 Saab aero 9-5 does this.can only remove the ignition key when it's locked in reverse.

Re: BX ESTATE STOLEN
Gutted for the owners. Especially as these are becoming exceedingly rare.
