Activa press pack on ebay

andmcit · Unread post by **andmcit** » 22 Mar 2009, 17:05

Probably going to regret mentioning this here as everyone will want to bid
but is anyone here currently bidding on this?

As there's very little in the way of printed literature for the Activa any item,
especially genuine Citroen is very interesting and I'd be very interested in the
contents so it would be brilliant if the winner could scan them and post them
in this Activa area or if the value is still not silly and I'm not treading on
anyone's toes I'll bid and share it will everyone here myself.

I wouldn't mind bidding myself BUT want to be certain that there's no
unfortunate counter bidding among the narrow band of Activa addicts here
as there can't be many Citroen Activa owners who really do care about this
kind of thing.

I'm not saying don't bid but I mention it here in case the running up bidder's
list doesn't read like a thread entry here!!

This kind of thing is my "thing" and I was a schoolboy brochure purloiner
and it's probably the reason why I'm a graphic designer today...

As a fellow Addict Andrew, I'd love to see it

Not bidding against you though so go for it....

Don't bid for it - snipe it!

Because of that nice glossy action pic on the cover showing a Delage red
Activa in action I have the feeling bidding will get silly and finish more than
I've paid for a Activa!! I've actually already got the colour prints and AFAIK
it's then simply a series of A4 black print sheets of copy and I guess it won't
exactly reveal anything we all don't already know!! It's just this is straight
'from the horse's mouth' so to speak!

It's the first one of these I've seen in all my ebaying years as a sad Citroen
addict and a Cx GTi Turbo s1 pack recently went for £60 yet another a few
months later struggled past £20 so there's no science to things - it's
probably a time of the month thing = literally with payday looming!!

I do have plans when I have the hard disc space to get a load of scanning
of Xantia and specific Activa info I currently have and need to get my head
around a website where it could all be downloaded from rather than choke
the bandwidth of the FCF forum.

If I had found that first, I would've posted it here only after winning the auction.

If it were for the LHD S2 and/or V6 Activa I'd certainly bid for it even if it meant bidding against some of you guys.

Finding Activa related stuff like that is really hard. All I have at the moment is a Citro Passion magazine from 2005 that has a long article about the V6 Activa, and that came with the car when I bought it (and the previous owner had got it from the 2nd owner of the car...). And it's in French, so the pictures are basically all I understand.

I'm sure we all watch ebay anyway and no doubt a few of WILL be bidding
on this and the others too. I was purely mentioning it on here as I hope
WHOEVER does win the bidding could share the contents on this forum with
fellow Activa owners even if it's just a badly executed scan - just thinking I
may ask the seller if they fancy selling a photocopy!!

As with any auction item including the regularly posted cars in the sticky
thread on this Activa area it's a case of the highest bidder wins - end of.

As far as tests and info go, I'm trying to gather pieces together to post here:
http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=25120

I do have a few more articles that I will scan as a batch but need to look at
the possibility of creating a download webpage or a means of having a pdf that
can be downloaded off the forum as seems to be the case on club-xm forum.

So it did not go for too much then!

ACTIVE8 · Unread post by **ACTIVE8** » 26 Mar 2009, 19:34

Did the same buyer get the V6 press packs as well?

Yes, I hope that the buyer can get in contact, and put the contents on here for the benefit of all.

By the looks of the username of the winning bidder I think we can safely say that the material will be published on the FCF for all to see

Well that's a result!
