French 16 Soupapes owner

Post by agadou »

Hi everybody,

i quickly introduce myself : Yann, 25 years old, i'm living in Bordeaux (France), i think you well know this city for their vines...!

I love cars, especially sleeper cars.

I owned several cars :
- Peugeot 106 Rallye S1 (my first)
- Citroën AX 4x4 1.4i (loves it !!! but so rare parts...)
- Volvo 850 R wagon
- Mazda 323 GT-X 4x4 Turbo (awesome car...really efficient and so ugly :lol: )
- Volvo 850 R saloon (i still have it)
- Peugeot 106 Rallye S1 (a second one, with 351 000km on the clock... 8) )

And for 2 monthes i own the first 16V french car : BX 16 SOUPAPES !

3rd hand, 01/1990, 123 500km on the clock.

When i bought it : :roll:

Many horrible parts added on this BX !

I burned everything that wasn't original, replaced with original parts !


The only "non original" parts are the wheels. I fitted Citroën C5 lightweight steelies with Federal RS-595 tires (195/55/R15).


I'm looking for rear 16 SOUPAPES or 16 VALVE badges !

Welcome to the forum :D

A very nice looking 16V you have there.

Reading your list of previous cars, I've never heard of a Ax 4x4, do you have any more information :?:

I don't think that I have ever seen one of those before :shock:

Anyway, nice Bx and I look forward to updates on the cars progress.
