Rare spot today!!

 

Sweet... whereabouts?  Seeing a Xantia at all is pretty rare nowadays but an Activa is nigh on unheard of... especially in S2 form.  Looks to be sitting at the right height too which points at one that lives a charmed life!

...As does the fact it doesn't have scraped bumpers.  Virtually every Xantia I've ever seen has a scuff on at least one corner.

Seen local to me at Bethersden near Ashford,Kent,i did hang around for a while for the owner but no luck. I go that way a couple of times a week so will keep a lookout for it.

Saw this just just round the corner from me, not seen it before, not sure if lowered or saggy, but with a splash of paint on that rear valence and some reflective number plates it’d be perfect.

the first one i already put in the news thread, but its an astra campervan. the bloke was selling it (although he had just been into Aldi buying 2euro cigarillos). a nice golf and a couple of festering XM estates. then spot the 3 mk2 golfs in the local scrappie.

 

Poor thing looks like it's getting humped by a randy caravan.
Here's a slightly more conventional camper.

This turned up yesterday in the car park where I live. Greeen roof. Looked well tidy.

Bit of an odd one, guy round the corner seems to be a mk4 licker as he has 2 of the most desirable mk4s* available (I say desirable mk4s, like saying the most desirable STDs) however they are both in really poor condition, see the sill on the anniversary, the R32 isn't much better... He's had them for years

I'm at oulton for the bike racing 

 

These must be quite rare

Not a real Porsche m8. Van engine m8. Not a 911 m8. Bet it’s slow m8. Whoaaa why are you stabbing me in the face m8?!

Local shite Porsche spot. I love these.

saw this relatively unmolested 110 in Durham on Saturday.  I’d almost forgotten these pre Defender 110’s still had Series doors and sliding windows.

[LightBulbFun]

[95 quid Peugeot]

Looks remarkably rust free

When did the place shut down, and who owns it now?

Norman Pratt was the owner, dead around 10 years, his wife still has a b and b nearby. Garage closed around 2000. His sons would be well known and regarded in the trade; they run a body shop and dealership (was Renault, unsure now) in Carlow town. Apparently there's a 127 round the back
