Quite Likely. They're not fast. The have a calendar on the dash in place of a speedo and the odometer relies on radiocarbon dating.
Some say it takes several weeks to complete even a quite modest journey in one....

Re: as this really got 13623 miles on it
Still I doubt there are any more Xantia left with that mileage on, if it's real?

I'd wager that it's a typo and it's 113,623 etc - if it was 13K he'd be shouting about it in the advert!!

Re: as this really got 13623 miles on it
We'll soon find out, I've sent him an email!
I've been a passenger in a white P reg SD that used to park up in the works car park. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting actually, though I can confirm the radiocarbon dating odometer. That's why they didn't sell very well I hear as they were so expensive because of the carbon dating gear. I imagine it would go a lot better without it too as just that weighs a good 200kgs.

Re: as this really got 13623 miles on it
I would bet its a typo, though I can imagine once owned you would not be jumping for joy at the thought of a drive in one!
An automatic 1.9D No doubt very good fun Still, excellent if you have 9 points on your licence

Re: as this really got 13623 miles on it
That's a point, would there have been any need for brakes?

No, your quite right ... Drive a 1.7D C15 with 60bhp which has been extended, has another axle and has an empty weight of that of a standard C15 van fully laiden ... fully loaded ... and you know what a slow diesel is
Still, it has been known to do 100mph!

Re: as this really got 13623 miles on it
Looks like the seller agrees with all the above, look at his name
I had a 7 seat Renault Savanna with the same non-turbo 1.9 diesel that the Clio got- 65BHP as I recall. It actually went tolerably well. The French have a long tradition of making cars go better than they should.
