Free Xantia...........treasure hunt

[Rocket88]

A aforementioned, free Xantia up for grabs. 1.9 n/a manual hatch...................must be collected by end of the year  [get you home tax applies until then] but from BA21 3LZ, not Midlands as stated before.

Car has a mixture of pogweasel bootlid, lacquer peel on bonnet and boot, and a couple of dents [offside front wing] it's red [or was]

 

Long MOT [circa 9 months] Mechanically spot on, apart from worn synchro on second................and everything still works. Has done a couple of long trips [150 miles plus] with no drama.

 

First come, first dibs, but it must be gone by end of the year, available as of Friday.

I don't need to bagsy it anymore! Glwg!

[castros_bro]

I can do Yeovil but can't do this year so I'm oooooooooooooooot.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Bugger BA21 not BD21 would be an excellent ST replacement but your too far away.

[Lacquer Peel]

I wonder how agonising A-framing a Xantia on the back of a DW8 Berlingo from Somerset to the north of Scotland might be.

[beko1987]

Johnk a framed his Cortina behind the samara to get home from sf16, it can't be that bad.

 

Careful though, without the e give running on a xantia there's no brakes steering or suspension, how critical all that is with an a frame I do not know, but just to let you know...

[Lacquer Peel]

Is it a 'sinker'? It should be okay if not.

I'm not A framing it to Scotland.

I've only got four days off work for Christmas so for that reason, aahm oot !

 

 

curiously it's 26 miles less to walk there than to drive

 

[Rocket88]

Can't even give stuff away....................this place etc etc etc..........................

Would it not make sense to leave the engine running while a framing?

Only if you trust it to not boil over.

[doobietoo]

If someone is seriously interested in this I *may be able to collect/ store it for them for a short while

[AlabamaShrimp]

I'm seriously interested as I need another car for a few months, this sounds good but it's just too far away.

 

Saying that if some kind of relay system could be devised to get it closer

[dollywobbler]

Xantia will a frame fine if not a sinker. Steering will still work. Not sure I'd fancy towing one with an NA Berlingo though.

[Broadsword]

Can we see a photo of this pile of magnificence? I've wanted a Xantia ever since the family had a 110 HDi five years back now. It was magic. My 206 1.4 HDi is kind of worn out and I'm not wanting to invest in an expensive cam belt/ water pump service. I can't believe I'm wanting something much older and more expensive to run!

Quick engine swap before you set off?

[Lacquer Peel]

This Xantia is also NA. I'm seriously looking into an engine donor to invigorate the miserable French van.

Just get a 405 TD estate and take the back seats out.

[Sigmund Fraud]

What's going to happen to this once-proud steed if nobody takes it on ? Would you try evilbay/mongtree or take it to James Brown's bridge ?

[Lacquer Peel]

405 TD estates = 99% scrappers + not as roomy as a Berlingo.

I can come and collect tomorrow chap. PM'd you.

[beko1987]

Ah but then the treasure hunt starts. The keys are at BA21 3LZ, then the fun and epic festive collection hunt begins!

[83C]

So long as no bits are outside of the U.K. I'll be fine!

[D Spares & Tyres]

Thank goodness for that, I nearly said yes please to it... 

[Rocket88]

Scott gets it......................................kolleckchun tomorrow, it seems..............................

[beko1987]

Excellent! Live updates please, will be bored at work!

TFFT

I did send a link to wor Will for a stop-gap motor, but he was a bit "meh" because no turbo.Then he started trying to persuade me...

[Lacquer Peel]

Fix that bloody BX Will!

[KruJoe]

Hopefully he's on with that as we speak, and he does have the ex-Neil 306 if he's desperate.
