Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
First spot wasn't a car, but infact a FCF Member...! Walking around Cromer and bumped into Chris570 and his family - couldn't believe it...! Such a small world! Good to see you Chris, and Ron, and see you at CXM in a few weeks Chris...
Then on the way home spotted a Series 1 XM, reckon it was one of MTXMs - will post it up on Club-XM...

Spoke to the German owner with every intention of going back and gleaning more information on it, but failed to do so, sorry.
It was, as you can see, a lovely lime colour.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
saw something while working home yesterday.., I couldn't get close but know where it parks.. never seen one before and no idea what it is,,
based on this crap description, anyone think of what it is?
Maroon with a cream roof, 4 door, 1950's or 60's maybe..
very quirky
Sure it was a Citroen by the way the rear wheels were half covered.
the main noticeable feature.. the back window had inverted rake...

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
They're very rare here John but used to be as common as muck in France. I don't think they were imported in any great numbers into the UK as we preferred the Ami 8 estate version.
Value for a good one will be high...
