Bye bye sinker

Post by cc101 »

Hi all hope your well, time for my sinker to go to a new home, need the space for a new project!
Image
As you know it's had plenty done and mechanically spot on, new head gasket last summer due to external oil leak, timing belt kit, coolant flush, new hp pump, suspension completely overhauled, height corrections removed, dismantled and cleaned, new doseur valve, hydroflushed, new spheres, discs and pads. Front struts spot on, no rust, interior is like new, everything works including steering wheel radio controls and remote central locking.

To make this car perfect it would need a spray on the bonnet and top of bootlid. Will upload more pictures soon. M.O.T til June (no tax). It's a 1.9 LX turbo diesel with a genuine 109000 miles, only 1 owner before me!

I'd rather it go to an enthusiast, open to offers
I would drive it ti Scotland tomorrow!

Swapping over to original xantia alloys above, makes such a difference!

Above is before swapping to alloys.

Cheers all.

lovely looking xantia...I've already encouraged someone to bid. Though it seems the ebay price has gone down?!

Good luck with the sale and I hope it finds a nice home- these are getting rare now and it is a nice colour.

p.s is it really a sinker..curious as mines 1994 L reg produced on 20/1/1994..

I had discovered that anti sink was added before the air bags etc so there's a cross over on L plates. Some are sinkers some aren't. Phill s is NOT a sinker dépité being an L reg which is good as far as parts go they are more common but not good for character and originality. .

how's she doing chris? I'm sure I saw her up to about 400 was it.??

Hi, some Citroen garage had bid on it for 400 but retracted the bid for some reason! The more I look at it the more my mind is changing to keep it!
