One last night (blue) parked outside a Pub in Peterborough, and another one two days ago that was driving through town - this one has a story attached as dad used to use it all the time for when he worked at Citroen's Bramley Park Garages at St Ives - he put it's first 10,000 miles on it and it was apparently a brilliant car.
Still going strong too!

Well I rarely spot anything interestingly French so picture opportunities are few and far between anyway.
Our Scenic II was that colour, it suits it well. I disagree about the leather though, that is an awful colour for leather seats, like a browny-cream? Ergh Black, cream or red would be my choice of leather. And id only ever choose a leather interior if it was red, other wise id rather have cloth
How much did it go for? Was it Diesel?
I notice a bit of trim has fallen off

Recently helped my niece move, which involved going from here, (mid-Kent) to Southampton, taking her and stuff to Yeovil, then on to Bristol (stay with daughter) and back to Kent next day. Saw the same number of Xantias as 2CV's, one of each.
However, here's the question; there's been quite a crop of Xantias through the village lately,at least half-a-dozen in the last week, including a well presented dark blue 'L' reg, with chevrons on the bonnet: does having the chevrons on the bonnet and being a sinker coincide exactly?
How to feel a complete idiot, (in my case, part 2n + 1).
I stopped for petrol in N Yorkshire, at a country garage where there was attended service. The young lad unscrewed the filler cap, and neatly slotted it into the moulded recess on the inside of the flap whilst he performed the operation. I have owned the Xantia for eight years and never realised the bloody thing was there!
Cheers, one and all.

Drove up to my eldest daughters flat in Scarborough yesterday, Coventry to M1 via Castle Donington, M18, A1M and A64. In all that journey both there and back only saw one XM estate in dark green which pulled out of a side road onto the A64 just outside East Heslerton. Not one single Xantia! Where is everyone the weather yesterday was exceptional for this time of year...
Still, fish, chips and mushy peas on the seafront on South Bay and a couple of shandies before coming home...great day out...
I saw a M reg Xantia 1.9D in red today, paint looked a bit dull but it was tidy. 1.9Ds were never a popular thing in the Xant.
I also saw a red CX today too, parked up a driveway, i didn't get to see much of it but i think it was a S2 Turbo perhaps, had the right wheels anyway.
