You bought a 255 pound 1980s Citroen? There, you said it in the title.

Thankyou :) I'm going to have to change my screen-name: BiTurbo - 'transcended to the next circle of Project Car Hell' :)

Not too bad :) it's failed an MOT inspection due to rust on the cills, but other than that it's driving fine and the interior and rest of the bodywork is fine. I can weld as well, so the rusty bits don't phase me in the slightest :)

Pretty good deal for a running car if it's a relatively easy fix for you.

So much French obscurity...

That's what I was thinking :) or at least that's how I'll justify it to everyone around me, I just wanted a Citroen that rises off the ground like a spaceship when I start it...

That price for damn near anything that runs is good these days so easily justified. Provided you dont have a spouse that hates cars haha.

It really is :) if worst comes to worst I could part it out for more than that. Oh, and I'm lucky enough to have a GF who actively encouraged me to get it!

I talked to a guy who had one. He had fond memories on baiting tailgating proles to ruin their Golfs on speedbumps the BX would iron out.
