Well done Franklin I want to see LAF there...

[quote Xantias look good in Champagne Andrew... A real shame it was not a more popular colour.[/quote]

I agree Jim. Champagne suits them really well.

A chap the year above me at school, his Dad bought a K/L reg one in Champagne brand new. Must have been one of the first ones sold in Cheltenham. Not sure if it was a VSX though. Must of made an impression, cos I still like them in that colour.

There is a very nice early Xantia in Champagne around here, its on an L reg, I'm sure its a 1.8 LX. It is in very good condition, which makes a change! Usually Xantias around here are beaten up and very rough riding.

I'm not having a pop at Xantias or Xantia owners. I like my Xantia. I often tell folk that the Xantia is the best made Citroen... I couldn't drive one daily now though. I tried it last year with a 1.9TD. Great car, but I wanted to drive a XM more.

I think I'm beginning to understand that Robert

Mind you, if you're lucky to have both...best of both worlds.

May as well stick in the link to the FCF XM thread in case its not been seen ...

Good pics there Chris. Your old White one looked a fantastic car. To be insured at 18 on an XM.
They do suit white..as long as they have the black trim. Otherwise I think they look like an aerodynamic wedding cake!

I have just said pretty much the same thing on a black vs coloured coded bumper pole on the FCF

I did like that XM, we got it when it was 6 years old. Yes, no one else had such a cool car to drive about in

I miss all the XMs we have had, apart from the rough 1999 VSX. Really should have kept the low miler SX but you cant keep them forever.

At 20 IIRC, I already had a GS, a GSA and a LHD GTi 2.4! lol
