Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

My Mrs spotted this 'relic' near Arundel this afternoon

2CV - Mrs Bobins' own work

That's a proper old corrugated one isn't it Bobins?

Lovely spot!

Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, 16:30-ish I spotted an XM heading towards the Kingston Industrial Park in MK just as I was heading out.

Silver, sadly didn't catch the reg though.

Definitely not a car I've seen around here before...I'd have noticed an XM!

[CitroJim]

An XM is a very rare spot in the wild now... I don't think I've ever seen an XM in MK, except for the ones I've owned in the past...

Indeed! Xantia's a rare enough spot these days.

I'd have given chase if I hadn't been on the clock at the time!

Walking back from the station this evening, what should come round the corner ahead of me, but a R4, in extremely good condition - so far as I could tell in the dark.

Spotted a dark blue C6 tonight - parked in the car park near the Bingo in Hamilton! Pretty sure I caught it on my Dashcam, but I'd have to check.

First time I've seen a C6 in the wild for about 5 years I think...

Dark blue C6 spotted in the traffic over the motorway by Medway crematorium this lunchtime, jacket hanging in the back, looked great in amongst a sea of blandness!

I thought i spotted it on the way up by the boot spoiler, return trip confirmed there is a light blue bx with boot spoiler in the garage inbetween the start of the new section of road at Bodmin on the A30 and the Blisland turning,

Also saw a golden coloured hvan on the m25 on Thursday lunchtime,

Serving coffee to those stuck in an M25 traffic jam by any chance?

Not one - but 2 Xantias today! A very nice dark green one on Morrison's forecourt in Totnes sometime after 7 o' clock this morning &, around midday a silver one came out of a (snowbound*) lane onto the Newton - Totnes road, somewhere approaching Two Mile Oak. Followed it for a while, 'til it turned right into another lane.

*not that the main road was much better

I was in Newbury today (helping my Mum), and I saw this beauty in the Pound Stretcher carpark. Not sure about the parking skills of the driver though!;

Saw a K plate 205 GTI in black coming the other way on the way home tonight. Looked tidy!

[Zelandeth]

H plate dark metallic blue 405 Estate in very high trim level spotted today (even had the chrome trim on the radiator grill slats).

Was heading the opposite way down by IKEA, we both spotted each other at the same moment (I was in the Activa...which it's only just occurred to me is my only roadworthy car at the moment...must be the first time in over a decade I've only had one car on the road!). Cue much flashing of lights and waving out the windows at each other, and a mutual shout of "Lovely to see one!" as we pulled away from the lights.

The astonishing bit...90s Pug meets 90s Citroen...and they were both petrol examples!

No idea if the owner's on here...if you are, please make yourself known! Two reasons: one from the look I got of it your car looks gorgeous and I want a closer look. Two: because I want to know exactly what flavour of 405 it is...

The 405 really does make an elegant looking estate - especially in that colour. That dark almost black metallic blue is still my favourite colour for them I think.

Love the SM - in my favourite SM colour too!

Is that an EU license plate on the back ?

It's kind of startling when you realise how sleek and low to the ground an SM is compared to a modern SUV! I really dislike the modern trend towards taller and taller cars... the complete opposite to the trend in the 70's to 90's of lower and wider.
