Whilst I'm in danger of dampening down the frivolity, I'd say "Yes" to the orginal posted question!!

I've seen a few VSX estates surface whilst watching the web over the last 6 months as I'm shopping for TWO VSX's... [I'm after TD saloons if anyone wants to sell theirs]

BUT NONE HAVE BEEN TD's...

16v's and 2.0i 8v's with and without air'n leather, but no TD's.

Doesn't help if you're shopping for a strut top that not only fits a hydractive car but one that'll be specced for an estate [if they're different - I've not looked on pr net...]

as NP well knows!!

I am looking for a late XM 2.1 td manual estate, I know they exist because i've seen one, but in a year of searching, not apparently for sale. Unless you know otherwise?

I spent ages looking out for one as well, ended up getting a 2.1TD xantia Estate instead, worked out cheaper as well!
