P808 ECF V6 24v with winterpack

[citroenxm]

Does the owner reside with us on here????

I see the car has just been taxd and motd for another whole year!!

I ask because ive just spotted a picture of it on the front of a 1997 Top Gear Top Cars winners brochure I have here..

[citroenxm]

Can get one yes...

[DHallworth]

This one resided in my collection for a while...









It had only covered 58k miles when I sold it. The owner after me was Lexia from this very forum, I'm not sure where it went after that. Good to know that it's still on the road though

That is Roy Christies car! He had posts last week. Still think those seats are the best.

I am going to refrain from saying that daft thing of "I wish I still had it".

That's rare, being an S1 with a winter pack... Absolutely lovely Alcantara is very nice but not hard-wearing

When I first saw the thread title I immediately thought of this: ECF80..

It never fails to amaze me how things from my early radio engineering days are so firmly implanted in my brain that I unconsciously make a connection like that....

[citroenxm]

Ive politely been reminded about this car now!!

It was with my Blue V6 the same time when I chose mine. I was offered this one but was put off by the Green colour and the half leather it had..

Anyway, here being driven enthusiaticly on the reprint cover I spotted it on:



As said, nothing exciting. Possibly more pics in the original 1997 Top Gear Magazine article..

I rather like the green Paul...

Never had a green Xantia... Yet

I must say the TG mob were certainly chucking P808ECF around in the picture...

Never had a green one!!!

I thought Id only ever have a green one! Everyone else around here had them! Luckilly, I manged to have a Black TD SX, a Grey HDI SX, Another Black TD SX, and a Silver Exclusive HDi, but many a green one passed through and sold on, as well as navy blue, silver, had a Gold one in for breaking due to a side swipe, and Maroone too!

Jim. You're so random. ECF80? Valves! What? Hope you had a nice Xmas. Interesting post. Well spotted Paul.

[CitroJim]

Christmas was quite excellent

Jim. You're so random. ECF80? Valves!

I'm so old Roger that my mind is made of valves... Not like you more modern people who are full of transistors and microchips...

At least your mind is not so old as to be run on an abacus or Napier's Bones!

At least you have a mind Jim, and not a befuddled mess like some of us!

Yes, but some parts of it has gone distinctly low-emission in recent years
