Classic and sports car magazine

Post by Simran »

Go and buy the December copy of Classic and sports car magazine and turn to page 146, im finally in it.
5 page spread on my 4x4, the renault 21 quadra and mi16x4. The bx doesnt fair well against the other two but the writer who i spoke to on the day fell in love with the bx and picked it as his favourite just for its individuality. He has also valued the car fairly highly which is only good news for the bx.

No worries Tim, glad to be of service.
Dan, the magazine is out already, i had almost given up hope and i just happened to be browsing in WHSmiths and had a flick through, spotted the 21 on a page which looked familiar so flicked back a few pages to see the full article on our cars.

Hahaha! That pic will teach me not to grow my hair that long EVER AGAIN. I hate it. I had no idea I was going to be photographed.

Good article, shame they didnt test 3 equivilent motors! The Gti being a standard 8v, the 405 being a 16v and the 21 being a turbo. Mind you it will all go towards helping get the BX recognised for what a great car it is.

Wonder if they will do one on the 16v soon.
