I'm not sure early BX models didn't have that feature, certainly had weird dials and non cancelling indicators.
The mark 2 was more conventional on the inside and certainly had a proper handbrake albeit acting on the front wheels. Still retained magic carpet uppy/downy suspension and super powerful brakes though. One of the most comfortable cars I've ever had. Petrol version was let down my a gutless 1.6 but even the 1.7 non turbo diesel pulled like a train.
