Ooh, sounds interesting Jim!

It's 20 years of the Xantia this year so maybe we could push for big Xantia attendance at the CX, XM and Xantia Rally too - that would be good... :D

That does look and sound like a tidy example Jim and I also quite like silver on a S2. It would be good to see some further photos including of the interior (black leather?) and engine bay, although we anyway look forward to meeting you both at the 'X'. Where did the car come from and what sort of history and mileage does she have? I hope the Prestige is in good hands and I certainly understand the lure of a V6!! Best regards, Matthew T.

Looks really nice Jim!
I am a bit envious.... i love my 2.1TD but I could do with some serious petrol power now and then.
Some wee jobs too keep you busy too.

Some more pictures in a minute Matthew but only exterior. I will do some interior, which is indeed black leather and the engine bay. The interior is very black as it has a full black headlining and no sunroof to break it up a bit. It really is a world of black in there but surprisingly not sombrely so. It just looks very cool and classy...

The car has extensive history including a reconditioned gearbox. It's been maintained in recent times by B and L Autos. I have a stack of receipts that make my eyes water when I see what's been spent :o It's done 137,000 miles which is nothing for an ES9...

I took it for a good run to see dad in Somerset today.. Very happy indeed. The climate works as it should in that it regulates the temperature but just has the static fan speed problem. I'll look into it in due course...

On the way home from Somerset I popped in to see my oldest friend who occasionally pops up on the FCF as PavlosV6. He took these pictures...

His are the Picasso and blue Xantia which was my old original S1 V6. The red Xsara belongs to a neighbour...

It's Citroen corner!...Picasso, Xantia, Xsara and C4 I see. :lol:


Glad you had a great cruise today Jim. It does look a lovely S2. It's what I would have if I was into S2. I rather like the black interior. All the cars my family has had have been light and airy, so it's bit of a novelty to have a black, cosy interior! It is very classy...but I must admit, I do have the luxury of having that extra bit of light when I want.


So some things to get on with then...keep you nice and busy, as any good XM should. Encouraging it has such a good history file too. Can't wait to see it. :D
