Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

Is that where Albert Pierrepoint was from?

As John Betjeman might have said, "Oh dear, I do hope not."

Spotted in a shopping centre near Southampton;

I took the photos in portrait, but the forum only seems to want them in landscape.

That is lovely James, and politely plonked in the middle of a parking space without the spreading out to the very edge of the slots you find with modern SUV’s

A grey X7!
Rare as hens teeth around here. (Quasqui land )

A silver C5 estate. Been out in my car for the first time since early March. Saw an approaching C5 on a roundabout under the A1 near the Angel.
I'm fairly sure it is my old one, only saw part of the registration plate before it was gone but KY02, can't be many of them around here.

Citroen XM estate 2.0 running on lpg with a mysterious & difficult to diagnose suspension fault (possibly Mauritius blue, it was dark blue anyway)
x2 bx's in various states of (dis) repair
citroen c6
citroen xantia 1.9td i believe belonged to a garage owner from newcastle
There was also a citroen under a cover but i forget what i was told it was, something old like a gs
and all on the same driveway

That same day i saw a c4 loeb too

C5 out in the wild, first one on ages.

Looks grey there but is Sage.

I parked next to one of the more unusual products of the French Motor Industry today. I'll put this picture on the Whatsthisthen thread for an easy 20 points!

Spotted while trying to tax the Civic and untax the C5.

[myglaren]

Just remembered that I spotted a C5 almost identical to mine (no dings and wonky panels) this morning, passed the end of the road as was leaving for the scrappy. Same reg- '03. Forget the rest though.

A french couple I came across today, the question is how long has the Clio been there?

[NewcastleFalcon]

the question is how long has the Clio been there?

I picked up our first Bargain Basement Clio from just such observation!

I negotiated the purchase up from one bottle of wine which felt a bit mean to six bottles of wine, having access to staff discount from M&S at the time, the seller made his choice on line and the bill was about was about £40 all told!
