They're some very sweet spots
Apart from my AX, I've seen no older French stuff out and about around here for ages

Spotted on my morning run today
A 205GTi 1.6 I've not seen before...
I do apologise for the picture quality... It was around 05:30 in the morning and I relied on a streetlight and my head torch for illumination!

If you see it again, Jim, it might be worth leaving them a note letting them now that Peugeot can take it back to factory fresh!

Looks like it's busy shedding fuzzy lumps of itself
Or is that rain on the camera lens?
It's wearing my favourite Xantia wheels

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Heading from Swindon to Southampton I spotted an off white Citroen DS (it turned off at J14). Reg PKE 306L, and it features in Wikipedia!!!

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Did you notice James that the file on Wiki was authored by Mic of Reading Berkshire? His link shows other interesting pictures and I wondered if we might already know him?

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I did notice the name, but I don't know if they are a member of the forum. It was a lady driving.
