OK, not a BX but rusty Citroëns all the same....

(Taken in 2002 near where I lived in Agen)

Update*
It would appear the H vans are still there... plus a Visa, but no 'G'...

Now that is what I call Rusting in Peace. I'll pay my respects next time I'm passing!!

I'm planning to go back and visit the area next year, I'll be wearing my BX hat then!

To redress the balance, here's some more from the 2009 BXagon:

This thread is too cruel for those of us who are still waiting to acquire the BX of their dreams ~grin

(PS - yes, I've seen the red TZD on ebay and have contacted the seller for more info)

Stop it

OK Tim, sorry.

That gold 16RS has taken a bit of a side impact by the look of it. When the BX was being sold they referred to one of the safety features as an 'elephant's foot' (the strengthened 'B' pillar/sill). Am I right?

Shame about the gold mk1

Shame they fitted them with the rather hideous brown interior

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Noo they look great in brown, proper early 80s retro chic!

I would love a Mk2 with either the blue or beige interior!

Yes, they're in Billericay.

I have been there many summers ago, could be good resting place for my 4x4 if nobody wants her!

I've just looked out the window & my BX looks a bit like the one above now

You have snow? Not fair, we only have cold rain

MULLEY · Post by **MULLEY** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 8:38 pm

Yup, it looks lovely at night as it always seems lighter because the snow reflects back any light available.

It started snowing around about 2.30pm today, just a few flakes & is now quite a steady amount, probably approx just over an inch not inc any drifts as there is a breeze.

1st chance to test out my new winter tyres this year

Its reached London and the BX is covered...
