What colour is your Activa?

My S2 is Emerald Green - KQH

Judging by the amount of people trying to get panels in KQH without success it seems to be a fairly rare colour by Xantia standards, let alone Activa.

My first Xantia was emerald green, lovely colour for a fantastic car.

Certianly interesting to see the current breakdown as you say Chris.

I'd expected the Dante to be the most appealing (when new and now
as a reason to keen one running) but expected Mauritius blue to be next,
not silver. That said, the silver does suit the clean lines of a Xantia well
and many were probably sold in this colour throughout the range not just
specifically Activae.

In deed, the Xantia is one car that does look good in silvder and it suits it well...

Just for completeness, My current Activa is Dantes' Red but past ones have been sliver and Storm Grey..

I too love Emerald Green, one of my top three along with Dantes' and Mauritius Blue.

I have voted green, thats because theres a GREEN one up here that I have been offered in exchange for a TD... when I pull my finger out.

Its also an early N reg S1 car too..

Why oh why do I always get the "First" ones.... My V6 is also a "First" one being a P reg 1997 model.!

My top 3's the same as Jim's, although I'm not too keen on silver

Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see although
I believe you're not a fan of green Xantiae Paul?

Top Activa colour for me is Dante Red, followed my new one's Gunmetal Grey
then the Green - guess having x3 Mauritius Blue ones kinda takes the appeal
off a bit? Silver is next for me maybe over the blue TBH.

I may have asked this before, but is KJA (a.k.a. rouge d'enfer) same as dantes red?

Yes: that said I've sadly lost one of the s1 blue ones recently
no thanks to some thieving scumbags.

Currently only the one on the road (s2) but aiming to have one of the
s1's (gunmetal grey) up and running shortly - I now realise a prefer s1's
a whole lot more. Shame as I run a daily Xant s2 v6!!

Not guilty!

Pal of mine won the bid and then dropped out of the purchase and asked me
if I wanted another one to fill the Activa shaped hole in my life which I did
accept the proxy purchase. I wouldn't have bid myself as it doesn't have a
sunroof! I like the car mind before you say I seem ungrateful or undeserving!

Andrew, I think you need to buy another, 10 of them would be a good number

Maybe another red one to even things up a bit.

What is wrong with your red one? It looks like a nice car with rare options, can that one not be road going again?

So what's the collective noun for Activas?

An Andmcit of Activas perhaps?
