So tempting, V6 Activa, in red with RED in the reg! Only about half hour away from me too, shame I don't have anywhere near the asking price (about £3,700).

Ohh, that looks very lovely Ben A V6 Activa in Rouge d'Enfer. That's knee-trembling stuff...

Go on. you know you want to

Want to indeed.... I could potentially even convince SWMBO that it's a good buy; however I'm not sure I would want to put such a lovely (and rare) car through the pains of having SWMBO learning to drive in it

[CitroJim]

I'd say a V6 Activa was a perfect learner car Ben.... Never seen a Xantia with dual controls though...

[Ben82]

Oh dear.... they've reduced the price a lot.... ~£2,200 or £2,500 with the 18" alloys. Shame I'm UK bound tomorrow otherwise I would have definitely gone to check it out this weekend.

Would the 18" alloys be worth the extra ~£300 over the "original" rims?

EDIT: SWMBO has veto'd it she thinks it's ............................... ugly!

Well, there is an Activa on e-bay, but it needs work;

Wouldn't that be something! Learn how a car 'should' drive before getting into a normal car

OK, I know it's not an Activa, but have a look at this one;

I have and have in fact spoken to the seller which is in fact our very own Malcolm at Savoy Garage and very well-known in XM circles..

This car has been quite extensively worked upon...

[Hell Razor5543]

We have a new Activa on e-bay, and it looks OK;

[CitroJim]

That's my old one Good to see it's still going...

Had a lot of work done on it between me and Xantiaman...

[XantiaMan]

Its alive! Only done 20k since...And it still has my boost controller.

[Hell Razor5543]

It has been re-listed.

[CitroJim]

It has been re-listed.

Looks like it's ended James.

How odd. Maybe a change of heart and he's keeping it?

[Hell Razor5543]

Nope, Jim, it has been re-listed;
