Princess Xantia of Kent

[Rocket88]

Purchased after Mr Bramz Alfa was found to be suffering from permanent "Italian-ness..", and found by another member on these very 'ere pages...I present..........

 

Pretty much mint, last owner was a Citroen club member, who appears to have spend faasands on upkeep. fully specced [no sunroof though, thank fuck] dead cow, electric seats, aircon,the bloody lot....2 litre Pez auto. 

 

Just had cam belt, spheres, brakes, and many other things.........no rot, no lacquer peel, blooming lovely.

[Lacquer Peel]

No lacquer peel is impressive, the state of 90s PSA paint is where I got my nom de plume from.

Ooft! Sounds worthy of the shimmering soft focus effects.

I take it is an ‘exclusive’ model with all those extras?

Described on ye olde V5 as a "2.0 Desire...."...............I hope it lives up to the hype.....more investigation tomorrow when Noah has parked his Arc.........

I'm glad you got something actually nice as opposed to the broken Alfa. The leather seats in these are really good.

I like that,they look great in that colour 

[Zelandeth]

That looks lovely!

 

Does look like the ride height needs setting up though, it's sitting a bit high. That can make a surprising difference to the ride and handling.

 

Usual PSA when speaking to someone who I don't know knows these cars - NEVER work underneath it without it securely sitting on axle stands. The suspension is very unlikely to, but it *can* drop in the blink of an eye - and you're not likely to live to tell the tale if you're under the car when that happens.

 

Curious to know what that colour is...The slightly more orange version (which is the worst paint I've ever known for laquer peel) is Dante red...that looks far deeper in colour though.

V5, rather unhelpfully, says "red"!

[binhoker668]

Exact colour name is ‘Rouge Lucifer’. Which is rather agreeable.

Lovely motor there boyo! How many have we got on here now then?

[Rocket88]

Probably about half the ones that remain in captivity.............! Will take some more photos today..........
