I wonder how many Xantia 'sinkers' are left?
Being the owner of one myself i'm starting to wonder how rare these cars are now?
For those who are not sure what a 'sinker' is, its the early K and L reg ones with chevrons on the bonnet.
These cars sink right down to there lowest setting after a few hours due to the fact they have no anti-sink valve (although not all L platers were sinkers, but I think most were)
I haven't seen one for AGES on the road.
Any Xantia sinker owners out there? Anyone seen one recently?

I know there is a 1.9TD sinker in silver at my works garage, it was out with the bonnet up during the summer when i got my new van but now its sat in the corner looking sorry for itself.

Can't go anywhere Dommo!
Had it washed on Sunday - it glows in the dark now.
For those who haven't seen it before, here's a link to Flickr
Done a lot of work on the front suspension, wishbones, drop links, bottom ball joints and strut tops. Start on the back end next
Lovely cars, quick enough, comfy and reasonable on fuel.
