I have a near identical SX auto in green on an M plate with 68k miles that
needs to go too if anyone fancies it - near minter looking the business.
Guess I'll be watching for interest and valuation...

Me too, it would be a shame for the next owner to clock up lots of miles in it, because then it just becomes another high mileage old xantia.

Having said that, being a 2.0 petrol auto its not going to appeal to the high mileage driver.

Would have been tempted had it been manual.

I first read that as:
"Thats really cool, I hope its picked up by an atheist"

Would be perfect for my eldest daughter but she won't have a Xantia, looks like being a 206/306 or a Clio (or a Rover 20/45).

Could slap one of these on the boot

The 2.0i 8v auto in a Xant is a decent combo - my father adores his VSX
and prefers it to an Xm 2.1TD auto and an Xm manual 2.0i TCT.

Mind, it should have a seamless turbinelike drive as I fitted a brand new
autobox off a pallet from a Cit dealer in it. Gearchanges are so imperceptible
that I panicked that it wasn't changing gears when I first test-drove it!

Oh dear, that's a bit provocative

That'll be upsetting creationists everywhere

Snap!

Yes, go on, you know you want to, anything but that horrid Rover! You might just catch the Citroen bug ...

haha! Good point, it is much more exciting than the Rover!

Yes, I'd love a sinker Xantia - and it's an AUTO!

I'll call a few people tomorrow and try and get a transport quote from Bath to Walsall. There's a nice warm dry garage just waiting for it.
