It's quite benign, part of one of our Carnival floats today and a rather lovely vehicle...

In case anyone is looking for the hedgehog picture and subsequent posts I posted earlier, they have been transferred to their own thread:

Well, we learn something new every day... The Xantia has been about since 1973... Who knew?

And even worse, there's no corresponding article in the magazine :( Only one about a Xantia based rally car from 1991...

A bit of a CCC Faux Pas I guess :oops: At least my column read OK :)

Awkward but interesting to drive, it has a Wilson preselect gearbox like the old Daimlers and you sit under the steering wheel which faces down toward the floor.

That's got to be fun! Spookily, it was only last week I was talking to someone on the very subject of driving them and the steering and gear arrangements were mentioned...
