Red C5. Haven't seen a C5 for months. Too slow for a photo.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I know exactly where that car park is, and I'd really not feel comfortable driving that around there. I've seen one in the flesh, they're massive and so low!Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑23 Sep 2022, 12:34 Not something you expect to see in a multi storey car park (even if it is in Windsor!).

I spotted a red C4 Loeb in Reading this morning, near the Royal Berkshire Hospital. It was on Isle of Man plates (with the tri-leg symbol).

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I think the Relay - H van is the more convincing/pleasing of the two. The Berlingo - 2CV van has got a bit of the original Cayenne's problem (looking like the size change has been effected by inflating a 911!)
For completeness, the one in Southport pier was a trailer - the non matching middle axle being the only functioning one. I presume the proper H van wheels have to be taken off as didn't seem any way to retract them or enough ground clearance to leave them in place. It too seemed to be predominantly GRP

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
A lot of UK cars seem to have made their way out there, mostly 4x4's though
RHD cars are cheaper to source than LHD cars, even after factoring in transport to Ukraine (and even more so if they don't have an MOT)
