Oh, so tempting and could be a bargain for someone... Andrew, how do you facy one of these?
Trouble is, it's in Germany and a left-hooker..
The questions amused me
Spring balls are spheres I guess... So when we say that a car is a right mile muncher, we now know where the miles end up....

Thought the idea was to reduce your collection, Andrew

Uh, guys, (and gals)
Did anyone else notice that while the text says its a V6 automatic, the interior photos clearly show a manual gear lever ?
Was the V6 ever released as a manual on the Xantia ? I don't believe it was, not even in Activa form in Europe.
Straight away that puts up red flags for me....

Simon

Any other V6 Activas I have seen advertised in Europe have been manual transmission, so they were certainly made.
The photos show Activa wheels, a V6 badge on the rear and a manual gear lever, so I am inclined to believe the pictures rather than the text.
I would be tempted myself, if it were possible to drive it home legally.

I had a V6 Activa briefly six or seven years ago. Mine was a LHD manual too.
I can't think of a more spectacular way to to get rid of money (except maybe setting fire to it KLF-style).
God help any man brave enough to take on the combination of an auto box, the running costs of a V6 and the activa system.

If only there was a cheap way to get this home...
Transplant a few bits into a RHD V6, and away we go

Both my V6 and Activa have the passenger airbag Ross and they're both S1s...
