They're some very sweet spots 
Apart from my AX, I've seen no older French stuff out and about around here for ages

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Spotted on my morning run today 
A 205GTi 1.6 I've not seen before...
I do apologise for the picture quality... It was around 05:30 in the morning and I relied on a streetlight and my head torch for illumination!

If you see it again, Jim, it might be worth leaving them a note letting them now that Peugeot can take it back to factory fresh!

Looks like it's busy shedding fuzzy lumps of itself 
Or is that rain on the camera lens?
It's wearing my favourite Xantia wheels

It even comes one up on a rear view camera: a real, live rear view lookout!

Heading from Swindon to Southampton I spotted an off white Citroen DS (it turned off at J14). Reg PKE 306L, and it features in Wikipedia!!!

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Did you notice James that the file on Wiki was authored by Mic of Reading Berkshire? His link shows other interesting pictures and I wondered if we might already know him?

I did notice the name, but I don't know if they are a member of the forum. It was a lady driving.

Hope you didn't see it driving or parked on the road as MOT check says the MOT expired on 5 July 2018!Hell Razor5543 wrote: 22 Nov 2020, 15:07 Heading from Swindon to Southampton I spotted an off white Citroen DS (it turned off at J14). Reg PKE 306L, and it features in Wikipedia!!!
