BX16V.com Forum

I've been intrigued to find out how many BX 16v's are in existance, and to date the responses and figures have always been vague.
We've got the build figures on some sites, and somewhere I read something like 1270 odd cars in the UK which are registered. We can find out how many where actually made, but how many survive to this day?
And how many of them are owned by people who actually care? Well I've decided to find out!

I'm consructing a register purely for 16v models. I'll keep it simple and just need to following to compile a database....

Owner:
Reg no:
Country:
Colour:
ORGA no:
Date you accquired to vehicle:

I'm going to try and push this through as many forums worldwide as I can. Hopefully the CCC will be happy to assist.

Either PM me here or email mantisgt3@hotmail.com

Thanks

Watcha mate

You registered yours with these guys:

Would be a good starter for 10, and if you haven't got the password let me know and I'll PM it to you for research purposes

Adrian

Aaaah, I'd never seen that!

Brilliant! Now I've gone and posted this same request on loads of forums!

Balls! Have you got the password mate? Knowing me I in fact HAVE already been on here and registered!

Dammit!

If you have the time and incentive, this is a very (long winded) interesting subject that I was involved with a while back which brought some very interesting info out of the woodwork.
It's still going, but there's a couple of not very regular posters on there who own cars I didn't even know existed who suddenly got very interested in the backgrounds of their cars, particularly when it seems there may be one or two which were used in motor racing but ended up being sold possibly as new cars or "Dealer Demo" vehicles.
Whilst posting on there may not yield results, my guess is that they may respond to a PM if you sent it to them.

Nice idea Kitch but you will find that people are already en route to a bx16v register.
Vanny has been working with the citsport guys who built a massive register over several years and with the aid of this forum we are updating all the records and once it is all finished Vanny will have a pretty accurate picture of how the land lies.

Sounds interesting! The cit sport guys are helpful when I've dealt with them in the past. How is the updating being done, as my old phase 2 is still registered to me on their site and I haven't been asked for updated details?

Adrian

I think the old Cit Sport register is at least 2 years out of date

Hi Adrian
Yes Harry and Mikko are very helpfull and I keep in touch with them when I get chance.
I beleive that Vanny is creating a more useable data base of their old information and then he will be trawling through everything to bring it up to date - Vanny has spent a lot of time collecting information on any 16v that appears anywhere so has a massive database now.

We will soon be adding a proper registration form for the club which will also help to gathe rnew info and I am sure the existing members will help us by verifying or updating their own info once this is done.

I also know Robin has been busy collecting info as well so between us we should be bale to build a pretty accurate picture.

If Kitch wishes he is more than welcome to add what data he collects so we can al work together on this as I know it is an issue many members are interested in

Cheers
Luke

Adrian has kindly helped me out and the best I can do now is to work out how many of the cars already registered are still in use.

I'd like to get something going with this, so if anyones wants to work something together that'd be good!

Cheers

You will benefit from speaking to the CCC as well as I know they run a BX register.
Vanny will be back soon and like I said have a chat with him as he has a lot of the work already done.

Cheers
Luke

I put mine on there but never got given a password

There is a new registration forum on our mainsite which will help greatly if members could fill it out and submit.

Cheers
Luke
