Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
What must be quite a rarity these days spotted today. F plate AX diesel in solid red spotted heading out of Bradwell Common. Looked tidy and completely stock. Not a car I've seen around here before.
Current fleet:
07 Volvo V70 SE D5, 85 Sinclair C5, 84 Trabant 601S, 73 AC Model 70, 62 Rover 110.

I spotted a white N reg XM estate travelling between Ringwood and Southampton this morning. Looked tidy.

A green V-reg Xantia estate looking very presentable driving into my estate as I drove out on one of my magical mystery tours.

Genuinely worthy of a place on the Classics thread now, saw this rarity being driven in a spritely fashion, by a lady from the Netherlands. No doubt heading for the ferry from North Shields to Amsterdam and it took all of Luton's finest's 150 bhp Fiat engine to catch up and take a picture...

The pic doesn't do it justice Jim...Very nice one and a nice colour in my opinion, deep blue I would describe it as.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Just gorgeous... Unusually that's an S2 model...
Wheels and wing badging suggest it may well be a late PRV V6, the one with the 90 degree V6...

A top shape, beautiful XM (dark colored) spotted while it was cruising down the Porland St. in Manchester. If was evening time and I didn't have my camera with me.

Saw a dark blue Mk1 Xantia V6 parked up in Louth, Lincolnshire, yesterday. Anyone here? Looked like the suspension was on mid height....
