chrisjvm Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I want to get my T25 Camper back on the road after a 3 year 'rest' .... So my Citroen is up for saleCitroen Xantia Activa 2.0 Turbo Series 1199785000 genuine milesThis car was in storage for 6 years before I bought it from Westroen in Gloucestershire hence the low mileage.MOT till May 2015.I haven't used this since I Mot'd it... I replaced the front discs and pads and the rear pads for the MOT.Goes really well and the suspension works as it should.... including the hydraulic rams... So it's fantastic around the twisties.When I bought it Jim Eastment from the FCF kindly checked it over with a Lexia and gave it a clean bill of health apart from it needing a couple of Spheres which I had replaced at Pleiades in Cambridgeshire including the difficult to get at one under the battery tray.It's in Mauritius Blue...It had lacquer peel on the roof which was bad so I resprayed it ...It's not a great job but looks a thousand times better than the lacquer peel version.There's no rust on the rear door jambs (a Xant weak point) though there is a small dent on the n/s front wing and door and various scratches.It has a good set of Michelin Energy Savers with plenty of meat on them.£650 for this one.I'm in Birmingham. myglaren, KruJoe and laser wheels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Xantia Activa ... that's the one with the gr9 suspension and 2l TCT enjin innit? Exactamundo. I REALLY want one of these. And I mean REALLY. Trying to think of some way of doing it but as I am sooooooo overdrawn at the mo and will be fooked for the next few months I am not sure how I can manage it. I suppose I could credit card it but need to clear my credit cards before I remortgage in Feb and I have no storage so am damned on all counts FFS.

I'd have snapped your fingers off had it run on veg, chris.There was a 2.1td Activa on Ebay UK a couple of months ago ... It was LHD on UK plates. Though I think UK market 2.1s had the Lucas Epic pump not sure if the French market ones did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they hang around I might be interested in a swap... Tell me about your Saab.It has test until Feb and no real pressing issues. I have done the headgasket and clutch in the last 12 months and various other bits. Rusty in places but solid underneath and strangely it is pristine in the usual problem areas like the driveshaft tunnels and front chassis rails. The inside of the doors are rusty of course and no headlining because I ripped it out in a rage. £550? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjvm Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks JD ... Nice looking Saab .... Thanks for posting details. If readies aren't forthcoming I may be in touch,although I've rather taken a shine to that Jaaaaguar!... Wasn't looking for one,I don't need one but I do need the cash and It would be totally bonkers of me to succumb ... yet it is very appealing ... Must be the Autoshite magic wafting over me!

Partridge Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've got a Jag boner now. I must head on ebay to look at old Jags I won't buy. chrisjvm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I am probably going to be driving down to Birmingham sometime in the next couple of weeks to pick up some wheels for the Visa, so if the Xantia has not sold you can have a peruse over it and vice*versa. I really really like the Jag but a Xantia Activa is one for the bucket list for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urpert Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 That Xantia looks lovely (as does the Saab). If it was a few months later I'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The addition of pictures to the first post confirms that I'd happily do either of these vehicles repeatedly. Hell, give me a threesome.Sadly, such activities would see me violently castrated, so for that reason, I'm out. chrisjvm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely car! I took the XM to Jim too, his garage is fookin wonderful! How many pedals dies it have? I've always wanted to tick the xantia box, but after ticking the 2.0tct box the only xant I'd swap the zx for will have the veg friendly one! chrisjvm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
