Very nice Xantia here. What do we think? :D

Bit too far for me to go and see, but good price and condition.
Sorry can't seem to get it to link. :?

Duh. I'd go for an XM in the same colour...

edit: sometimes I wish I'd live in the UK, sometimes...

That one's attracted a few comments on the FCF Jaap :roll:

It would be a heck of a project for someone. You're nearest :lol: :lol:

Interesting reading Jim. It seems it should be worth it's weight in just about the same as that Xantia...

I can strip it for the lucky buyer if needed. :) Back to the Xantia: go for it Russ!

MMMM....Robert won't be pleased!! I say no more.
I do love them in that colour. But it is so far away just to take a look.... anyone else close :D

Good grief, what happend to that XM....driven into a lake? :lol:

Go on Jaap, get it and salvage some parts. Wonder if the speedo cable works.... Headlights...would be good if they haven't discoloured... List goes on. :lol:

Allegedly Russ, it was driven over to Northern Ireland on holiday. It expired, we believe, from a oil leak which may have seized the engine. It then stood in a field for some eight years up to its door handles in wet grass and mud...

It would seem to be beyond salvation as a going concern but the hoard of spares on it is immense. Worth recovering for the speedo cable alone ;)

There is a lesson in this for all of us: DO occasionally your dip stick and check your oil levels! :)

(I said this to some nice people standing next to me on the ICCCR and probably saved that citroen engine :)

You needed a dash Russ?

Spare clocks would be good I suppose. Everything else on mine is fine, just dodgy connections. Mind you an afternoon soldering will solve that.
I could quite happily find a home for loads of spares!! ....Those alloys must be worth something once cleaned up.

This Xantia is getting under my skin.....DRAT!!! :twisted:
