That`s a cracking description and stands out from the normal `say as little as possible and don`t mention all the faults` type. Good luck selling it, don`t think you`ll struggle because the car and the description will sell it alone.

What an excellent listing. If I was in the market for another Citroen I'd give this one serious thought. Good luck, mate.

Strangely, this Citroen / Reg:RE23 NAB as pictured does NOT show up on the DVLA online check. Considering it's claimed to have 4 months tax

This site seems pretty comprehensive for known cars both on and off the road that I've checked.

Something fishy perhaps

Nothing fishy - just your eyes playing tricks, I guess: The reg. no. is: R223 NAB, and it does appear on the DVLA. So no problems - as if there would be - as we know the seller!

Really looked like an E on the rear photo!
Sorry Kitch, did not twig that was your own car. What a shame to have to move it on!

250quid start with no reserve? Thats cheap isnt it? Wouldnt mind it myself for that!

I'd normally agree Ian, but what is it actually worth

Most Activa's on there go for dick-all these days, I firmly believe this one is far nicer but its a buyers market.

I know someone who wants it, but how far I can trust him I don't know....so I told him to enter his £400 cash offer as a bid.....we'll see if he does

I am planning to keep my car for as long as possible, looking at resale values is just depressing, look at the 1.9TD that Cavmad is after, the potential for a really nice motor with very little work, I watch that one with interest.

Aye Stewart but I sort of get the feeling that it will go through the roof, a lot of interest in it it would appear. However I won`t get drawn into a silly bidding war with someone who wants to go too mad on it. You have to know your limit, a bit like I`ve tried to do tonight with my alcohol content but crashed and burnt

Tell me about it, my brothers in law came over last night,red wine haze

i hope the 1.9 gets a reasonable price, just in case I ever part with mine
