Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
D plate Citroen 2CV Special spotted just a few minutes ago in the car park at Knockhill where we've been watching the BTCC races today.
Disappointing lack of other interesting metal in the car parks to be honest.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Very very unusual GS van spotted at the http://www.glosvintageextravaganza.co.uk/ (very good by the way)
I was uncertain whether it was 'polite & appropriate' to obscure the reg'.... so I did.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
There was an official panel van version of the GS like that - I've seen pictures of it in the original factory service manuals...

I spotted a lovely looking BX (on foreign plates) in the West Quay area of Southampton. As we were both moving I could not take any pictures.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I saw a beautiful red (with white roof) DS in Southampton today (near to the cruise liner terminal), registration TDV 76M. The only thing wrong with it was the offside brake light had failed.

Dodgy brake light and plate not on DVLA database!

Oops, but that is the correct colour scheme, so it must be the right one.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Spotted in the yard behind a closed-down garage behind the local railway station.
The engine is apparently removed, maybe still in the workshop? It is BTW, a Simca Aronde P60

I am going to have to brush up on my detective techniques, I tried quite a few combinations of possible letter errors in the plate, but didn't do the simple transposition of the numbers

Then jumped to the same conclusion as Jim! Up to no good!

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
I was heading back from Guildford (passing through Perry Hill) when I saw an X reg metallic red Xantia heading the other way.
