Aww bless... that's one of the best looking and most carefully described fleabay BXs I've seen in a while. God that's tempting. Bit of a little trek up the M40/42. Mmm, RE - does that mean it's non PAS?

Pah, who needs PAS anyway (<-GSA owner). My Meteor is the only car I've ever owned that has PAS!

Mark.

Those 1.4s dont need power steering, the engine doesnt weigh anything :) , the cars have a light feel totally unlike the lumbering diesels, the motors are quite willing and revvy and give the car a totally different character. if you fancy it go for it :)

i fancy this too. Not quite my normal GTi BX but very nice and rare to find such a nice original example.

I'm sure if you fancy a 1400 BX you would be better off buying the one from OwenS.

As we all know, a BX may well look really good on top but underneath there can be a lot of expense. Not all ebay cars are so, but I once bought a 1400 like this, mint condition, form a local scrappy just needed repipeing and new rear cylinders.

If this car is as good as it looks, why did the original owner get rid of it ?

My advise would be to view it first or buy Owens.

I know, but thats my point, this car may want both money and work throwing at it. In huge quantities.
