Xantia number 4 was collected yesterday, and the Desire 2 was returned from Bourne after a 6 months holiday, without holes and with a working leather interior!

1997 1.8i LX 16v in silver done 45000 miles and a very long MOT for £300! (it needs spheres and a few bits)

I thought the white one was for sale - is it sold/for sale or have you decided to keep it? I must say it looks very smart.

that scrubs up damn well!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

White one is sold to Daisy aka Anne-Marie, and being collected by the end of Feb.

My aim is to get a super clean super low mileage Xantia, the white Athena is lovely but at 45000 the LX is a lot lower miles.
