I usually see a few C6s around here and never post them as spotteds but I saw a slightly more interesting one today. One of the first 10 registered here, on a 55plate.
It was GF55 YOL, parked in Middlesbrough, there was a football match on so I guess it was there for that.

Like the SM, they look stunning in the metal but don't always photograph so well...

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I know exactly where you're coming from Paul. Not the prettiest car Citroen ever made by far. I was using it more as an example really to say they don't picture well but look better in the metal just as the DS and CX look much better in the metal unless photographed by James Walsh of course...citroenxm wrote:CitroJim wrote:

Against a tidy CX or GS or XM the SM looks like nothing. See an SM amongst its non-Citroen contemporaries (E-Type excepted) and they begin to look good. That's how I first saw a live blue metallic SM and it blew me away. It was at Beaulieu. Now look at an SM at DSM and against the fleet of assembled DSs it looks like the ugly sister...

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Not an actual spot but its on TV!
A 60 plate C6 with the later wheels, so probably a 3.0 HDi V6, one of the few! In dark blue with the reg RV60 HOJ
Its on The Royal Bodyguard - a comedy series with David Jason.
Edit: DVLA says it is a 3.0 HDi. Nice!

Those oval pipes on either side of the 3.0 looked a lot nicer than what was pulled out by 'The Bodyguard'!
