1990 Citroen BX 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Best bargain ever, future classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really has gone wrong with this car since I have acquired it.
I bought the car for seven Irish pounds.
As we speak I am starting the restoration work.
Bodywork cost (estimate) £500.
Doner car (1988 BX GTI) - free.
General comments?
I fully intend to put this car back to its original condition.
When I first came to see my new investment (it was bought after it was described to me by a friend) it was parked in three foot high grass.
A new battery and two turns of the key later, it started.
