Seems to tick a lot of boxes apart from colour and where the driver sits!

Where have the proper alloy wheels gone on the first one? Aren't those wheel trims off a Xantia with 14" steels?

The Halfords stick-on fuel filler flap thing must be good for an extra 15-20bhp

Thanks Andrew

A 2.1TD Activa. For me, nearly perfection...

The second one is horrible

What a terrible thing to do to a poor Activa and to a red one as well

They're an organised bunch in Germany/Austria; most folk run a winter set
of tyres and have another for the summer months; the 'throwaway' set are
purely sacrificial but will have damned good tread! In fact, I believe it's
required by law but am not totally sure. The seller lists alloys in the
equipment description although hasn't pictured them. Wonder if its simply
assumed buyers will know about the wheel's issue.

The Halfords special has a set of spare Steels pictured IIRC. Flame red
always makes a car go faster; especially in the interior!

The blue one would be s serious consideration for me had it been fitted
with a sunroof; I've bought several Citroens from abroad from an early
60's 2CV and early 70's Gs's to a Belgian Cx GTi.

Got to agree on the sunroof Andrew

My Activa has one and I love the bright airy feel they bring to a car...

You recall I said a 2.1TD Activa is near perfection...

Perfection would be a 2.1TD Activa Estate. If you ever see one, I'll have it

2.1 TD (or V6) Activa Estate? My perfect daily car!
I'd have already bought it I'm afraid Jim!!
