Fancy a new Xantia for your lounge (or bedroom)?

and it won't need road tax!

I'm betting this goes for more money than I've obtained real one's!
I have one of these and it's great (nice box too) just the thing with
the model for me is the balance of the wheels in proportion to the
rest - they looks underwheeled.

Happy ebaying!

I think the suspension needs to go up in the back a bit

Nice to see its still wearing Michelins

Reasonable looking model

That would look good with the Xm one i have but does that say 16v on the side? perfectly understandable to buy the real 2.0 16v but surely the model has to be of a 24v!

Deian: it IS an early sinker mind = chevrons on the bonnet!

Dean: it was the top of the range when the model was released the same
time and sold through Citroen dealers alongside the 1:1 scale one! VSX too!

Of course, MK1 didnt think of that.............should have been an Activa then

No no no, EVEN EARLYER then that!

Its based on the "First into the UK" K reg 1993, Petrol only 2.oi 16v Cars! The 155bhp models, thats used the BX 16v Twin Cam engine with a Cat to bring it down from 165bhp in a BX to 155bhp in these..

Ive NEVER seen a Xantia one before, and would also love it!

Ive got a "Car" magazine that tests a 1993 K reg 2.oi 16v... They liked it too!

Well, there's one more on ebay to bid for:

IIRC, it's got a mock black leather interior.

The first one is lovely

And in the right colour too; Mauritius Blue

I would love that. It would go perfectly with my model DS, Traction and Pug 205GTi that adorn my lounge...

Id also like one, looks pretty good and would look even better sat next to my 1.18 Xm on the shelf

Ive far to many models to even list!

I did pick up a superb 1.43rd Norev Xm from the national CCC meet this year, looks like a recent model going by the box.

I saw one, K reg, back in '97 with a dodgy 90's thin sticker strip along the side.

Apart from the cat/bhp it's not quite an identical 16v engine as the Xantia
block is cast iron rather than the lighter all alloy one off the BX. Lovely engine!

If I see any more 1:18 Sagem Xantia models, I'll make sure you can all get
a chance to bid on one!

I have a couple of these models, they are very good with accurate detail and a decent size. Both of the models mentioned above are in fact blue as they were only produced in blue, gold and aubergine.

If it was a 1:18 Activa, I'd get one for sure. Even a regular Ph2 would do. But there isn't a Ph2 Xantia made even in 1:43... Norev has made a Ph1 V6 Activa in 1:43 though.
