Scrapheap Challenge

Has anybody else noticed that in front of the garages on Scrapheap Challenge there was a Xantia?

It was on its roof and had been scrapped but I was able to read its rear numberplate and put the numbers into a vehicle data search.

Bog spec, facelifted, LX Petrol, at least it wasn't an HDI..

Didn't see that, but I did notice some early XM wheel trims.

I noticed one of the projects they built used an XUD engine for its motive power. Clearly it did not come from the scrapped Xantia then...

No, it came out of a ZX, it was definately a turbo because it had the top mounted intercooler.

XUDs work underwater, I don't suppose rest of the car is happy to be submerged too. Don't try this at home kids.

In one episode of Scrappy Races (series 1), when they were in a yard before one of the challenges, one of the teams enclosures was built out of Citroens. Nice maroon XM, I forget what else!

Forget the scrap cars and engines what about that Lisa Rogers. She can make me cups of coffee any time, especially when I'm doing the fourth plug on the XUD engine od a ZX TD. 8)
