Readvertised that is, £700 is a bit much, suspensions too high at the front and bumpers have been messed about with, 12 months mot and 16v are getting rare!

I think that`s pretty good value relatively speaking. It looks like a really clean car that suggests it`s been well looked after. If it only attracts one bid then someone will get a bargain I believe.
Nice wheels too, look like Speedlines (Alesios possibly?).

This car was on Luke's site not long back I think.

The front bumper aint right for sure, and it's been de-badged, if I remember correctley a member of the 16v forum went to look at it and was unimpressed.....

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

That reminds me about in the 80's the Beasty Boys fans nicking the badges off German cars (BMW, VW etc). :roll:

Wonder if that makes you a fan of their music, Cav? :?:

I loved The beastie Boys mate, a breath of fresh air at the time. Having said that you`d never see me in a million years wearing a VW badge around my neck!

Hi Bandit, wasn't taking the p*ss really but saw the typo and read it as a silent b, as Cav detected. Context seemed funny at the time but in the cold of early morning??? No offence meant mate. 8)
