Quick photo shoot of my 2.1 :)
I don't post a great deal on this forum, I do however browse it and have found some very interesting/helpful topics that have helped me bring my car up to my perfectionist standards lol
With that in mind, I thought some might appreciate some of these pics

Excellent photo's of a superb car.
On nitpick though - it might be wise, if aesthetically questionable, to obscure the number plate.
I'm sure the forum members wouldn't think of such a thing but there are those that will duplicate your number plate then swipe ptrol leaving you looking at the bill.
Or worse.

Cheers for the replies guys
I appreciate what you're saying about the plates so I've removed them, however they will stay on in the for sale advert (I think it might put a potential buyer off if they can't read the plate)
I can't take all the credit for the photo's, they were taken by a friend but I supplied the car and suggested good angles

I'm not one for obscuring any number plate for any reason, especially if you are selling it, what are you trying to hide?... by showing your number plate a potential buyer can get an exact insurance quote based on that exact car because they are able to provide the registration number.
Also if you have nothing to hide when you sell your car then a potential customer can do a history check on it. Hide your number plate and it would put me off buying your car!

Is that a Series 2 lower front air scoop on a Series 1 car ? Or am I just imagining it ? Somehow it doesn't look the same as my 1997 Series 1...(unfortunately its dark outside so I can't go out and look )
Nice photos, love the gray almost as much as blue.

Clearly that would be illegal but displaying it when you don't need to is inviting trouble.MikeT wrote:Soooooo..... what do you use to protect yours on the public highway or in a public car park?myglaren wrote:there are those that will duplicate your number plate then swipe ptrol leaving you looking at the bill.

I had a mate with a six month old Rover 600. The police came knocking one day and asked him where his car was and where he had been recently.
As he hadn't been anywhere, having just returned from a holiday in Russia, he was a bit put out by the questions but gave them the garage keys and they went and checked the car over and were satisfied with the paperwork.
It turned out that the car was cloned and had been illegaly parked in London (350 miles away) and impounded.
Don't give them the opportunity. Anyone interested in buying the car can be furnished with the registration number or even an unedited photo.
Again, thanks for the replies guy
I won't turn this into a for sale post but I'm looking for about £1300 for it.
It's actually a boat yard in Hamble, Southampton...so nowhere near waleselma wrote:Nice car,
do I spy dickies boat yard in the background?
That makes it local.
How much are you after for it?

Absolutely gorgeous. It looks concours. If I had it, I'd be scared to drive itAndersDK wrote:Really a nice Xantia - looks so - mmmmm ....
Good on 'yer Sphinx Surely you're not considering selling such a beautiful example are you?
I concur with Deian that the late MK1 with the 2.1TD is the finest Xantia (Activa apart) ever produced
