Yes, somehow I think you may be right Steve, I'm not sure orange would suit a Xantia. Mind you, I can't picture what an orange one might look like.myglaren wrote: I wonder how an orange Xantia would look ...
Bloody awful
I'm surprised we've not seen any yet. Red paint often fades down to orange and through this mechanism there are a few very orange 205s and 405s knocking around and they look OK.
Maybe someone can photoshop an orange Xanta?
What I'd really like to see is a yellow Xantia, painted in the same shade of darkish yellow as some Saxos were in the late 90s.
Or, failing that, a Xantia in the 306 D Turbo metallic Blaze Yellow
I reckon either of those colours would look very good...

Thats a very red orange in that Xant ... bright orane would not suit it. Might just get some emulsion and a roller and see ...
Jim, I think you mean Mango? Or that was what Citroen called it. The Taxis in this town are painted a not too unsimilar colour, I hate it. There are all sorts of cars in that Taxi colour and none of them suit it. There did used to be a couple of Xantias but they are long gone, as is the one elderly C5.
Some cars suit bright and lairy colours but not many and rarely big cars.

Refresh (ctrl+F5) as I've updated the colours, can't do much with the yellow unless I spend longer doing it because of the base colour.

Nice to see a H-Van being used for something.
There is a very nice H kicking about which does pizzas - the best pizzas too! Its got a full wood buring stove on board and the food is lovely from it.
There is a H-Van being restored quite local to me to be a food van at shows, think its about done now.
A fairly local restaurant used a Hvan as an advert, it didnt seem to move much, it just parked on the high street in the village. Nice to see though.
Until a few years back they were popular sites as frites vans by the side of the road in France, dont see them now though.
