The car is question is one to buy and carry on storing in it's present condition until the day Xantias are so rare they're considered valuable classics. Their day will come.
It seems that when they're true bona-fide classics specification does not matter a jot. The fact it's 1.9D LX will be irrelevant. It's the fact it's an immaculate, unused Citroen Xantia that will be important. Today, the most desirable classics are judged solely on condition and not on specification.
I can already see the joy on Franklin Rugg's grandson's face when he 'discovers' it again after many more years of loving storage...
