Citroen XM Forum

Week away in Cornwall... spotted a few French things around... didn't get a chance to photo everything, but did get a chance to photo two XM's.



That was a LHD 2.o injection car... looking a tiny bit sad... there was a wire sticking out the bonnet for the catch release I assume, and the Nearside (Drivers in this case) door mirror was a little droopy.. the body panels looked a little out of colour aswell.. and a couple of centre caps missing on the alloys.



I also spoteed on the main A road between St Austell and Newquay, outside a village called Menna, a small yard with a Pug 405 and a Pug 605 sitting abandend... looking at Google Maps they have been in the same position a few years. I have Robbed this shot from the Google Camera Car of them...



Than also in a local to where we were staying in Mevagissey Port, in the car park this XM was there:



Turbo D SX... It was gone when we came back later...

Quite a Few xantias about too, even two locally to our village, Goran Haven..

Hi Paul

Welcome back hope you had a nice time. We went to Gorran Haven many years ago, in fact we went to Devon/Cornwall every year when we lived in Kent - now we live in the West Country we go to the north of Scotland or France .

Thanks for the pictures, the red Xantia comes from Wolverhampton, hoped to see some Cornish ones there, they end in 'AF' or 'CV' mostly.

Gorran Haven seems like a popular holiday destination!

I've stayed in a cottage half way down the main street a couple of times now, lovely place, trouble is it's only really filled with second homes so very few locals. The way of many places down here now

We have the same problem here

Pleased to hear you had a good honeymoon Paul and there was still time left to spot a few XMs!! That 'G' plate 2.0i was certainly quite a rare sighting! Best regards, Matthew T.
