This is work in progress and maybe a reference/starting point for a
format that will hopefully/eventually be quite informative and useful?

Mirror colour coded cappings deliberately removed as this is sadly being

V601 HOU
Colour - Blue KPKD**
RP - 8332CJ

Status - Purchased off ebay July '09.
<<Update APRIL 2011>> - NEW MOT!! Yay!

Runs Ok but usual things allowed to go off and need rectification
- primary issue is rasping manifold (fixed = git of a job) and yet another
set of locking wheel bolts on a Xantia I don't have the key for! Yes, this is
the 3rd car now without an unlock key.

Has a noticeable list to driver's side so will need to tackle height
adjustment rods.

Stop it Jim!
Unless that was an offer to take me for a spin next time im up your way 8) That might just put me over the edge with wanting the Activa experience all to myself!

I'm sorely tempted. Must hide that checkbook and forget where I've hidden it

Very nice folks! And all scrubbed and waxed too! Certainly showing up
my scruffy dirty rough'n ready ones mind! Some motivational pics for
me to believe mine could look the same with some effort! :p

Two series 2's already and both Ac; did Citroen even bother with
sunroofs on many s2's?

I know one S2 V6 Activa in Finland (import from Germany) with sunroof. That one has practically all extras that were available.

Koukku - nice car!

Is the red the same as our UK refered to Delage Red - the artificial lighting
in the picture certainly shows it as being a lot darker in colour. So, between
your v6 Activa and the 'normal' manual v6, which is the nicest car to be in
all the time!!???

Andrew

There are two reds, the earlier Rouge was used on the S1 cars including non-Activa Xantia's and then on later S2 cars, a variant of the same colour was brought out with a different code and shade, this contained less pearl 'orange' effect, its hard to tell the difference in low light unless you park two cars next to each other. The latter colour is described as 'Devils Red'.

Unfortunatly i cannot get the Standox website to work at the moment to get the exact names and codes, i'll try it again later.

EDIT-

car maker : CITROEN
code : KJA
color : ROUGE D`ENFER-MET.
from-to : 1995-2000
paint system : Standohyd Perlmutt-Basecoat
formula date : 26.10.95

WB305 TIZIANROT
WB386 BRILLANTMARON
WB382 KUPFER
WB328 BRAUN
WB361 RUBINROT
WB366 PURPUR


Above is the colour we all know and love.

Below is the colour that replaced it -


car maker : CITROEN
code : EKQ
color : ROUGE LUCIFER-MET.
from-to : 1999-2007
paint system : Standohyd Perlmutt-Basecoat
formula date : 05.03.02



WB386 BRILLANTMARON
WB305 TIZIANROT
WB376 BRILLANTROT
WB367 OXIDROT
WB364 SCHWARZTONER
WB301 WEISS

I left the formula colours up, although in german it gives an idea of the different colours used to make the different shades.

Wasn't the Metallic Crimson available as in the V6? .. thought that was quite a good colour for the Xantia.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's the same as Delage Red... I checked the colour code, and it's KJA. Here's an outdoor pic from the seller, certainly looks a lot lighter here than in the pic I took in the garage.

So, between your v6 Activa and the 'normal' manual v6, which is the nicest car to be in all the time!!???

Sorry, now you lost me... what normal manual V6? I only have one Xantia, so far. If you mean this pic that I posted in another thread, they're both V6 Activas (and thus of course manuals ), and only the other one is mine. Anyway, I'd certainly rather be in the V6 Activa than anywhere else. 8)
