The latter one could be nice, (bumper needs re-aligning somewhat) and in LHD something a bit different (you get that extra glove box!)... As for colour - silver or champagne-gold, difficult to tell. I've seen french BXs in that sort of halfway colour before....

It looks to me to be the french version bx athena model which means it would be a champagne gold colour as they came in that and blue i think?

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...

Apparently the model is 'Millesime' and being oval port should be reasonably punchy...

I am sorely tempted, but really can't afford to get involved with something else. I'm currently working out whether I can afford to feed a cat to get rid of my mice... (which I know is contradictory, but the mice supply will swiftly dry up with a cat on the job...)

I have bought 14TGE. Hopefully picking it up on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. I haven't driven a petrol BX for a long time - I'm quite excited!

Yep - I'm looking forward to getting it. I will be using it as a replacement to my Acadiane (my boss has lost patience; I can no longer use the Acad as a work car!). i wish I had seen the MK1 TRS on ebay a bit earlier though.... It looks lovely.
