At least you've actually GOT an engine in the car! I'm still fannying around with alloy panelling.

Would quite like one again though, amazing ride. Would love an SM. Although not having a garage at home is a pain when it comes to tinkering!
TBH I can't see the love for BX's they're not the Citroens of old, they're pale, plasticky, unreliable, imitations (IMHO).
Actually if you're looking for something with character (ie unreliable but pretty) how about an Alfa ? At least you'll look stylish when your standing at the side of the road with the bonnet up.
BTW if you like tinkering and 4 seats isn't a necessity I'd genuinely recommend an MX-5 (or Eunos Roadster import).
MK1 or 2 are incredibly simple to work on, have proper suspension (double wishbone all round), have a massive choice of aftermarket parts, are extremely reliable and can be had for sub 1K if you know where to look. Oh and they're definitely characterful.
I keep one in the garage for whenever the Alfa has a hissy fit, connect the battery and it always starts first time.
