Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Bit of an unusual one these days.
Spotted a first generation Renault Espace this afternoon in the Stacey Bushes Industrial Estate. Was on a D plate I think, but didn't get that good a look.

Ahh, that would have been the old original GRP Matra ones. Absolutely brilliant. I rated those as the best Espace...

Yep, that's the one. This one was a slightly gold tinted silver colour in case you spot it.
Uncle used to have one a good few years back and I remember being impressed by it, especially in terms of comfort and its ability to make seemingly unfeasibly rapid progress on the motorway.

Saw a maroon W Reg Hdi Xantia in the Stoney Street NCP Multi-Storey car park in the Lace District of Nottingham today. Looked very tidy...

I regularly see a green R reg Athena which looks immaculate in Mickleton, Gloucestershire. Sometimes it's there other times not so is presumably used regularly. Anyone on here?

Just exchanged waves with the driver of a dark coloured Xantia as they were turning into the Heelands area of MK. Don't think I've seen that one before.

Curious to know whether it was someone on here I saw today, given I got a proper arm out the window wave I tend to assume that it was an enthusiast. First time I've had response in the Citroen, usually only the Saab I get that. Well...or the Skoda, but when you're in that virtually everyone waves at you irrespective of what they drive!

Bright red L plate 205 spotted just outside Banbury today, looked tidy from the glance I got.
