Spotted in a shopping centre near Southampton;
I took the photos in portrait, but the forum only seems to want them in landscape.

That is lovely James, and politely plonked in the middle of a parking space without the spreading out to the very edge of the slots you find with modern SUV’s

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
A silver C5 estate. Been out in my car for the first time since early March. Saw an approaching C5 on a roundabout under the A1 near the Angel.
I'm fairly sure it is my old one, only saw part of the registration plate before it was gone but KY02, can't be many of them around here.

There was also a citroen under a cover but i forget what i was told it was, something old like a gs

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I parked next to one of the more unusual products of the French Motor Industry today. I'll put this picture on the Whatsthisthen thread for an easy 20 points!

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Just remembered that I spotted a C5 almost identical to mine (no dings and wonky panels) this morning, passed the end of the road as was leaving for the scrappy. Same reg- '03. Forget the rest though.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
A french couple I came across today, the question is how long has the Clio been there?

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I picked up our first Bargain Basement Clio from just such observation!
I negotiated the purchase up from one bottle of wine which felt a bit mean to six bottles of wine, having access to staff discount from M&S at the time, the seller made his choice on line and the bill was about was about £40 all told!
