Came across this, this morning, parked on a chunk of industrial estate in Velez-Malaga.
Obviously a BX 1.4TE, but in seemingly unbelievably good – unreal? – condition.
Apart from some minor damage (and missing rear bumper) not even any signs of road dirt.
Any ideas??

Re: What the heck...?
Well it looks like the start of Gibbo's "on my walk" thread when gibbo came across a C5 in a field sans autobox. By the time that thread was finished Gibbo had got a second hand AM6 autobox, fitted it himself and is now driving round in the C5, and fixing any hiccup it throws up.
So is this a find out who owns it, offer them next to nowt and save it?
Does the numberplate translate into any info on tax/Mot (yes its equivalent in Spain) available on-line in Spain.

Something tells me it will have mysteriously disappeared by morning..... 
Blame it on a hurricane and shout 'climate change' - it's what everyone else is doing.

Re: What the heck...?
Have already made an enquiry, and someone is coming back to me if they can find anything.
RegNo checking here isn't as easy as UK, but could be done.
If it were an XUD, I'd be after it like a shot. Not sure I really want a 1.4...
But who knows what might (or might not) lurk under the bonnet, if anything.
Resprayed for a film? Or an abandoned refurb??

Looks like a good bet for a secret restoration to me!! Go for it Chris!!

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

That 1.4 BX wasn't a bad car, I bought and sold a few, never had a disappointed customer.
