Re: One for the C6 owners
Mike,
Got to say this is a new one on me, and I've had 2 of them. It puzzled me that much that I went outside to look at mine and I have nothing on the A Pillars, either inside or out. to say I'm curious would be an understatement. Pictures would help
A quick way of telling if the engine is a 2.2 is that the car has a fixed spoiler, whereas the 2.7 has a speed sensitive spoiler. Unless of course it's a 3.0 petrol, in which case it's a rare beast indeed.
This picture show you both, the one in the foreground is a 2.7 whilst the one in the background is a 2.2

Re: One for the C6 owners
Hi there,
I echo trainmans sentiments, nothing of the sort on my C6, superloopy. Again, had to double check, even though I know the car inside out after 3 years!
Has to be a mod, methinks!

Agreed. I just can't see how one can reconcile these two things: a person going through the process of acquiring a C6 and then going onto the later process of sticking numbers on the side of it.
Was it sprayed orange, and the doors welded shut, per chance?

Most strange, why would you number your car, maybe part of a fleet?
If It was on the wheelarches I could semi-understand it, something tyre pressures (like they do on vans) but they are 2.3bar. As for it being a fleet car, That's also something I've never heard of

Remember the one in Slough advertised on eBay that I looked and gave a damming report on about a year ago, that was an ex scab.Trainman wrote:I've not heard of one being used like that in the UK, I know of a couple in Ireland, but not hereDickieG wrote:Mini-cab number?

Re: One for the C6 owners
There is a C6 Taxi in Newcastle, ive seen it twice. They seem to like their Citroens up there, still have a lot of original shape C5 Taxis too.Trainman wrote:I've not heard of one being used like that in the UK, I know of a couple in Ireland, but not hereDickieG wrote:Mini-cab number?

Re: One for the C6 owners
I've never seen anything like it, or in fact heard of it either, really strange! I did wonder if somebody was 'badging' it up. 3.7 instead of 2.7 (shrugs shoulders), it's got me really puzzled.

maybe it's in case he forgets which house he lives at..
or I can only think the car is part of a fleet as said before..
