Blue S1 Xantia in Frome with Activa wheels on, it was....err....a tip inside and had rust high on the rear arches.

For the first time in absolutely ages ( a couple of years I would estimate) a Xantia.
Passed in traffic and failed to get a reg or type but seemed to be in excellent condition.
Dante red with no apparent lacquer peel!

I do rather like the black Traction

Florides/Caravelles seem to attract a decent price "abroad". On the whole the Floride as pictured is the prettier of the stable.

Also saw a nice a burgundy/maroon Citroen Traction avant on our recent jaunt to Lincolnshire.

Saw a very clean and tidy Dante Red HDi Xantia today in Milton Keynes - with no discernible lacquer peel as far as I could see...

Registration T***BVC I think...

Spotted between New Bradwell and Newport Pagnell...

Spotted on LBC a Mk1 C5 V6 Carlsson which looks cheap until you get right to the bottom of the ad and discover that the 4HP20 has died.

Still could be worth repairing...

It would be a good project, but I have no budget or space for another car at present. Was the Carlsson sold in RHD?
