Had a phone call from a local Citroen Nut - like me who has possibly one of the earlyest Activas - Its a 1996 N reg in green (YUK) but he'd like to move it on... I KNOW I KNOW - I said Id never have one, but im going to have a look next week... and see whats what. All we agreed was somthing "Higher then scrap value," which he does NOT want to do..

I doubt though, Ill keep it long, those awfull TCT engines are too thirsty for me...

Preceisecley... Dont forget, got the TD run of the mill xantia... loads of HDi's... All I really need is that 2.oi 16v 155bhp machine for the collection...

Paul, to drive a good Activa is like nothing on earth... The probelm is getting it really good.

We can help you do that.

I'm not biassed or anything of course but an Activa is a great stable-mate for the V6...

The two best Xantias of them all....

mmmmmm wonder if a 24v PRV XM Activa would work, the prototypes were built using the XM platform.........

Sorry i was daydreaming, dont worry about the fuel and throw it at some corners

The PRV would never fit in the Xantia - its far to wide between the banks...

The PRV is a 90 deg V not a 60 deg... it takes a bit more room up..

no no noooo, dont ruin a good XM, put Activa on the 24v

, that would keep you out of trouble for a while Paul.

Hmmmm, tasty

What a great idea...

An Activa XM..

Oh yes, base it on a lice series II ES9 V6...

An Activa XM would be very unique...

No no no Jim, on the PRV - They make an amazing sound more then the ES9
