Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

During my long bike ride today, The Evans Cycles MK Ride It! Sportive) I spotted a white BX

First BX I've seen in the wild for years...

It was scruffy but looked as if it was a work in progress... Next time I'm sure it'll be looking much better...

Spotted between Eversholt and Woburn, not far from the Safari Park.

Silver 55 plate (back one on the "wrong" door) C15 parked in Paignton yesterday. Seems like it was supplied by main dealer in Torquay so local & been around (presumably) all this time; bever seen it before - but then I'm usually only around at weekends.

Oh my Word! What on Earth is that thing in the picture! :-O
It was a very proper one, I'd have put it as a midsized tractor! Not mahoosive not tiny, hmmmn maybe a Sports Utility Tractor!

That takes ugly to a new and previously uncharted area

Just saw a late (couldn't see the reg) model 309 heading out the car park of the Milton Keynes Coach way while waiting to collect my other half.

Here silly early as I had one of those perfect trips where the traffic is perfectly in your favour so the journey took about half as long as expected...

I personally very much enjoyed to shot of a 2CV I had a few years back, though I'm not sure if that means much!

That was a good spot Zel. 309s are getting seriously rare now...

Wolseley Hornet....worth $$$

there was also the Riley Elf.

Post by **CitroJim** » 22 Sep 2017, 08:15

As Alasdair says, indeed looks more like a Riley Elf or a Woseley Hornet to me too...

Rare and very lovely

Couldn't think what they were called earlier, on the school run home Rileyy elf popped up in the one day maybe useful information store!
You guys will probably know, did woods and picket do a Riley version as they did the mini?
