A new dark secret - I seem to have bought a French car.....

For the benifit of people younger than me on this forum a wallunit is a cupboard/display case type thing. Very popular at on time.

However not waterproof!

That was about twenty years ago. I'm now house trained.

Most of the time!

I dont bloody believe it, first the spot lamp brackets and now the 16 valve I was looking at , well done mate.
the wife wouldent let me have it as the paint looked a bit ( dare I say it here ) faded , pink even.
I even emailed the bloke to put the interior pictures on , any way she wants a calibra now so we shall see. hope its a good buy ( should be for what you paid for it

Sorry mate!!!

Yeah paintwork doesnt look great, but if it was perfect it would have fetched far more money and I wouldnt have been able to afford it. Hopefully a bit of elbow grease with some polish will bring it up nice!

Dont apologize , I am just glad someone who appreciates a classy motor got it

Elbow grease and polish work for my RED car

I have a habit of buying cars and not keeping them very long - the Manta lasted 2 months! If I decide to sell the BX I'll make sure I offer to you first!

Although saying that I've wanted one for ages so hopefully I'll be keeping it slightly more longer term.
