Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

[Citroenmad]

A really ugly looking car in my opinion. Im not surprised Renault has dropped it!

Only in the UK Chris... Euorpe still have the range

Oh dear, that is dissapointing

The Wind is class. I get nearly as excited when I see one as I do a Vel Satis - can't wait to own one

What do you like about the Wind Luke? Can't be its name that is for sure and those looks!?!

Im happy to say that is one Renault which I didn't mind being a flop. Id much rather have a Megane CC.

The front on them is class. You don't mistake them for anything else when they're coming towards you! Plus it's just a Twingo underneath and it's a very fun car indeed. I won't be putting the roof down though, the shame would be too much.

Quite right!

With that I guess your a fan of the new Twingo then?

[R9UKE]

I was until two ladies in their 80s came towards me in a bright pink one this afternoon!!

Changing the subject quickly...

This XM just popped up for sale in France. It is a bit pricey for me, but I was wondering if it could be an ES9J4 with manual transmission? Did they sell that combination in LHD?

[citroenxm]

In Europe yes.. just not in the UK... auto only for us..

A 'feast' of H Vans here in this BBC report on fast food...

Activa V6 is a sight, but I have not worked out how to get an image from leboncoin into this thread.
The phrase "Peinture original" must have a different connotation in France.

V6 Activa or not, I wouldn't thank you for that

[CitroJim]

Oh my gawd No doubt about it being an original painting

And cop a load of that spoiler

A few spots from the past few days:

C6 at M6 Services on Monday:



Xantia and C4 in same traffic jam on the M6 on Monday:



Ami on Monday!



And another on Tuesday!



Also earlier today saw a Black C6 at Midday on the A1M, Junction 35... 57 Plate...

[Citroenmad]

Thats a 2.1TD SX Xantia by the looks of the wheels and flaired front wings

I like thatyellow Ami 8, looks good

[Citroenmad]

I didn't spot this, however I have just seen it while searching through google:

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is about 15 miles from me and not at all far from where I work. Yet I have never seen this car!

Does look tidy but its rear tyres are not the right size.

Its a 2.0 16v SX apparently.

Saw a very nice Red Xant estate in portsmouth just round the corner from gunwharf parked up in the 20mph limit, i think it was on MK1 VSX alloys but didnt notice the age or engine .

[myglaren]

It is a very rare thing for me to see a Xantia these days but coming out of Aldi this evening I saw a dark green one that appeared to be in excellent condition - a '52' reg, never seen one as young as that before, 'Y' is the youngest before that.
