Not nice! I guess there'd be no danger of someone wanting to make a fake Taxi though...

I can only wonder what the mileage must be........

On a yellow Xantia estate theme, I regularly pass another which looks as if its ex AA, near Chesham.

I would avoid this car at all costs.

If it had any life left in it then it would still be doing duties as a taxi

You only ever seen shagged out minicabs for sale, If theres life left in them they wouldnt be selling it.

quote: "when warm sounds and drives like an orchestra a good one at that"

a diesel, c'mon, maybe an aston martin db9 v8 but a xantia diesel, and drives like an orchestra? what a vivid imagination

no answer given on the mileage, the guy can't be that serious to want to sell the car, maybe he'll miss the colour?

milage on the clock 202000, but its got a recon engine no bills to prove it, when hot no smoke drives well.

It shouldn't smoke when its cold, thats a sign that something is severely knackered (to use the technical term).

it smokes for about 10 minutes on tickover,but if you rev it, its goes off sooner white smoke,when hot drives kike it should

White smoke = steam = headgasket? Its a 1.9TD and they can eat head gaskets.

A knackered engine in a yellow car.

Well it's a car that's destined to be sold for parts.

Who would want a yellow car !

As for the engine well that could require some considerable work on it.

There are no pictures of the inside of the car, but it's a fair bet that the interior is worn out.

So even if it's broken, I don't suppose that there will be too many good bits on it.

IT'S BACK!

Funny how he's having trouble finding a new owner for it!

Good for parts - I KNOW getting a straight facelift front end is difficult on a good day! Unless someone's seen a blue mk2 bonnet for sale...

Apparently this one is blue.

Well, under the yellow it is anyway.

It turns out looking at the view sellers other items, that they are I quote "having a clear out" and have many other items listed.

Here's the link to the long list of items.

http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZaccountopenQQhtZ-1

This is a picture of what they have called a "lucky dip" of new parts.

There are also two seperate listings for the same car a BX !

This other item has been listed, and might well be a turbo outlet elbow pipe.

The taxi is fit for nothing but the breakers, and helping to keep other cars on the road.

If anything the seller might as well break it !

The time that has elapsed between the two listings for the taxi, three months

would have been better used selling the bits off it.

As it's not something that anyone would want to keep on the road, and waste money on !

He's got a white Xantia estate for sale too...

No parcel shelf the back seats are differant from the front no radio,and it got the normal wear and tear of a 7 year old car, its not new.

So that one's been a taxi as well then.
