Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

[white exec]

Spotted while trying to tax the Civic and untax the C5.

Not a reg.no. to appear on the list of members' cars over on Club-XM.
Looking rather good, though.

It is a couple of miles away from me. They often have interesting cars. When my daughter had her yellow SAAB 900 cabriolet they had an identical one but there's was a 9₃ but both were 'R' registered.

Heading back from Bristol I called into the Leigh Delamere services when I saw this Citroen (my company van is the dark blue Vauxhall in the background);

[myglaren]

3 RCZ's. All within a few miles of each other. I didn't know that there were that many.

[myglaren]

Coincidently, as above.
Except there were four.
Saw my neighbour in his at Aldi. Spoke to him later and asked if it was him I had seen near Stanley and it wasn't. So four all told.

A 2CV spotted at the Avebury Stone Circle this morning having a chat to her little sister

2CV at Avebury

The photo was taken from the Red Lion pub car park. The only pub in the world built within an ancient stone circle and world heritage monument!

That 2CV is a cracking colour...

Not my spot unfortunately but on another forum I'm on someone spotted a silver S2 Activa on a V plate today. Seeing a Xantia out and about is a rarity in itself, but an Activa is quite a spot! Especially a Series 2.

That a car we know of on here?

Yes, it suits it rather well

Right up there with winning the lottery

After seeing a non-French 35 year old car in very good nick in MK today Robyn and I pondered just how unusual it is to see anything much in excess of tens years old on the roads nowadays...

I can't remember when I last saw a Saxo in the wild and as for an AX... Last time I attended a rally I think... Likewise BX and CX...

[Zelandeth]

It was spotted in the vicinity of Ashford, Kent apparently.

[CitroJim]

Not my spot.. The photo was sent to me by good friends away on holiday...

Vegetating BX

They thought it might be a good project for me....

[mickthemaverick]

I wouldn't be surprised if that is somewhat missing under the skin!! Last MOT expired in 2009, may well be just a shell! But it is white Jim!!

[admiral51]

I really need to be a passenger not a driver as in my local area there is a stunning AX on i think from memory a P plate and a Saxo that blends into traffic but again probably 20+ years old

[CitroJim]

But it is white Jim!!

That's what my friends thought, being white it would be ideal company for Daffodil

The BX is one Citroen I've never owned but have been very tempted in the past... Alas these days, there's no room for one

That's a very late AX Colin One of the last... I've not seen one in the wild for years now... In fact I can't think of the last time I did

Mind you, I can't remember the last time I saw a Saxo in the wild around here, except for the abandoned one about a mile away from me...

Maybe because they blend into the traffic so well!

I was putting a couple of Ford Prefects on the rusty wrecks thread here

viewtopic.php?p=659331#p659331

So I copied that BX there too

Here's one you don't see very often nowadays...

Citroen Xsara

Seems only yesterday they were a common sight...

Come to think of it, the Xsara Picasso is becoming increasingly rare now...
