Partridge Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 That's pretty fit. Contrary to FAKE NEWS stories about me, I don't hate these. I actually prefer the later Phase Ones with the cheese grater grills. Would make a GR13 tip run weapon and for general trolling modern car road users in (or for grating really big blocks of cheese with, at great speed as one hurtles around like an Arial Atom - LHM, YO!). Not sure if it actually is a VSX, but it has the right alloys - so be prepared to wipe semen off it if you take it any kind of Xantia-molester event.

bramz7 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 16v SXI apparently. I suspect it's actually not that slow for a Citroen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 16v SXI apparently. I suspect it's actually not that slow for a Citroen....Same engine as my old one, then. Even though it shared the same XU unit with my 405, which feels nippy, the Xant always felt sluggish in comparison. Obviously it had more weight to lug around due to the hydractive system, but I was suprised at just how much it blunted its performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It could be that your early Xantia was the 8v unit, although really early Xantias had the 16v XU10 with 150hp. My only experience of an XU10 was the forum bike 405 auto and it was sprightly enough, sure that was 8v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It could be that your early Xantia was the 8v unit, although really early Xantias had the 16v XU10 with 150hp. Possibly. I never bothered to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoscoRaceAdjustment Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 It’s the 16v. Takes a moment then hurtles. Fantastic car. If I had a bit of land she would have a cozy barn for the next few years as I did the little jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marm Toastsmith Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This all sounds like a cracking deal to me - and someone should GIB. I was/am super keen but I've sadly had an attack of the sensibles and can't work up the gumption to buy a second estate car / third residents parking permit / tax disc. If it was an auto I could work on mrs m and try to replace the family CR/V with it...but it's not. Nor is it quite exciting enough that I want to sell the 205 and use it as my "fun" car, I don't think. I know I'm going to kick myself for not buying it in the long run as there's unlikely to be a better opportunity to pick up a cheap Xantia and I want one, and this is local and it's a fast estate with a roof rack and an MOT for scrap money. Most likely I'll have to file Xantias in the list of list of hydropneumatic citroens that I never got to own for practically no money, along with the DS, CX, GS, BX... because I was too gutless and "sensible". Will someone please buy it so I can get some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yeah, even someone buying and roffling would be worthwhile, plenty people would take a small risk for it. I'd love to try a xantia, and am strictly non-diesel, so in theory this is ideal. In practice however.. Marm Toastsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Am going through the routines of insurance, ferry prices, co driver, cheese consumption, Iberian rustic land prices in the pre-offer-buying phase.
