If someone had told me there was a ph1 on here for £1500 I'd have had to wipe my screen clean after I spat my my drink all over it. But....that is probably is sound asking price! Someone needs to jump on those C-pillars before they take hold, but otherwise a very tidy car. A-pillars and engine bay look fantastic, possibly the tidiest I've seen online. I'm only up the road from this car by the look of it (is that Segensworth?), can inspect it if anyone from miles away wants to enquire.

Yo, I just crashed my 16v last week and it's a write off. I'm still looking for a LHD but will buy an RHD if neccessary (though I would prefer a cat engine, which again is a problem). I'm due in England in December and will be looking for an LHD before that. At around 107k I would have no serious problem paying a bit into four figures...

So if the timing's right, and your ebay sale doesn't work,please let me know and we'll talk. Obviously if I'm sure there's nothing LHD that could suit, I'll have to go RHD, but I'm still looking.

Car is in Hedge End just of junction 8 kitch if anyone wants you to view it !. Im still slightly confused with the pricing of these cars. Ive been offered £600-£700 just by people wanting to 'break' it for the engine & wiring for a 205 . For any more sporty classic car that needs next to no work & can be used staight off for shows id happily pay up to 2k. Ive got a two owner from new 92 golf mk2 gti which owes me a fortune as ive had to go though the whole car & it still wont be as nice an original as the citroen. Sad

Unfortunately the pool of potential buyers for all BXs is dominated by those looking for a cheap run about - the 16V is either not considered suitable by them (because of the demands of keeping the motor sweet with cambelt changes) or is too frantic for those who prefer to drink from the black pump.

That leaves enthusiasts who either have a selection of 16Vs already or are on the look out for good cars to cosset. It's not a big pool of people, but they do exist.

I know from experience how much values of usable classics have increased - I used to run Mk2 Cortinas and looking at values now they bare no relation whatsoever to the sort of money you could get for one 10 years ago!

We have a p1 16V like this one, but in silver and with 50k covered (FSH), which I wouldn't let go for less than £2.5k if the minor paint issues were sorted.

Just round the corner from me Kitch. Havent seen yours around yet, do you drive it much ?.
Well adrian, i dont think my original £1500 was out of the way for my car. If yours has only 50k that must be a very rare low mileage example & £2500 seems a fair price to me. I think there must be quite a lot of interested people as it now has over 200 watchers on ebay & its had more than 1600 views. Im starting to have second thoughts about selling it ! Confused

Don't drive it much mate, no. Hasn't been on the road since last June now, needs a new dosuer valve and really could do with a decent HP pump. Got some rust-prevention to do on it before it's back too, but I'll be selling my TVR next year and some of the money raised will go towards getting the old girl out again.

Can't say I blame you for having second thoughts. I put mine on ebay once having lost my temper with it (over things I'd done wrong on it!) and got 83 watchers and just under £1k after 4 days on a 10 day auction. I bottled it and pulled the auction, then threw £500 at it in guilt (fixed the PAS, tappy engine etc) and it was the best thing I ever did. Still love it to this day, and it's no where near as tidy as yours!

Do point them in this direction if they aren't aware of the site/club and are interested
