Somebody may want it?
Hi guy's
I have a grey BX16v (H reg) which has sat on my drive for over 3 years. I took it off the road when the fuel line leaked and never got it going again. Anyway, it's going to the breakers as soon as I can arrange the transportation, but I thought I'd see if anyone in the Derby area was interested in having it for free first.
I plan to get it moved in 1 weeks time, so let me know before then if you would like to see it.
It's Ph2 body with Ph1 engine etc (no cat).
Please note, I don't intend to break this car on my drive. It has to go complete.

I did think about moving this thread but as IanC would not be able to see it, it would be a bit pointless.

It's good to see that there are people still interested in the Valver. I used to sell them at a main dealer when they were in production. Fantastic car, but not without it's quirks.lol
I did about 45,000 in this one and had some problems (never with the engine tho). Though I'd say the fun factor out weighed the problems
I had intended to "do it up", but putting two kid's through uni and general family life put paid to that idea. Sure, I could have got it running again but I would not have been happy because I would have wanted it to be perfect. I couldn't afford it, simple as that.
If this car had conventional suspension and another makers badge on the bonnet I wouldn't have been shocked to see it as a best seller.
Ok, so some engines have found there way into 205's and for all I know that's where mine will end up? But as much as I love the Valver's, I don't begrudge 205 owners from wanting what is a fantastic engine.
If all goes well I should be waving a tearful bye-bye to my Valver tomorrow. I'm sure those of you that really love these cars will know exactly how I feel. I mean, it's taken me over 3 years to even cosider getting rid of it!
Who know's, maybe one day i will be back on here looking for another?lol
Thanks to those who have expressed an interest in my Valver and I wish you all many enjoyable miles

"Have truck will travel". Seriously, I know the world and his wife want it now but if it doesn't go can I be 43rd (or wherever you're up to) in line?

Yep I got the car and im very happy with her.
So much so....Hope your sitting tight and bet you have never heard a 205'er say this before but im actually thinking of perhaps putting her back on the road!!!!!
The car is not bad at all and rot is very very minimal. Only trouble I have with her is a locked up starter but I will change that tomorrow evening and see what happens.
I was pleased to find it is a model with the plastic coated hydraulic lines and brake lines so defo a plus in its favour
