Still about and still have 3 Bxs!
Am using a 1.4 every day and even started fitting a few basic 16v bits to it this week.....
Check the site for activity regularly but I fall into the category of 30 something with kids so have far less time to mess about than I did.
Kind of agree with the idea of combining forces with the normal Bx club with so much being common and and my liking all things that leak green fluid.

Still part own the phase 1 valver with my dad - one day it will get proper garage queen status and get the bodywork sorted. In the meantime it's still probably one of very few more or less original unmolested early valvers left in the UK so it's staying put :)

Hi, still have my 16valve, was my daily driver for 8 years and I've put 100k km in it since I bought it (has 230k now). It has seen less km's in the last months since I bought a CX Athena with LPG for a daily driver (crazy I know), and has (the 16v) some stuff to sort out, paint, and the HP pump needs reparing.

Still use my 16V regularly – I've done almost 30000 miles in it over the past two years...

Mine is still in occasional use, ever other weekend or so to the tip (the long way) at least. It's recently had a trip down to Southampton as well, so at least it got to stretch its legs.

Unfortunately it has been (temporarily) evicted from the house, and after a month or so parked on the lawn, it's not been promoted to the drive.

It's currently on its longest stint ever with the same engine in place! Nearly 6 years now.

Mine is on stands awaiting me to get stuck into the octopus job, as well as heater tap manifold and driveshaft boot.

I did build a new shed for it though!

I have a ph2 16v however I rarely use it as I just love looking at it too much, sad I know! In 2014 I aim to tidy up the bodywork and it will be at the NEC classic car show.
