Très, très chère, but hello one owner low mileage Xantia V6.

£5000 is a lot. But interestingly about in line with French prices for the V6. Bit of a sleeper.

Meanwhile Facebook is offering me other items nearby in Womble Minster...

'if you have to ask.........'

Sigh...you are right. If I had £125,000 I would not buy that to tinker with but would blow it on c*k* and Brazilian Go-Go dancers...and still have enough left for a decent Bentley. 

Interestingly I just saw an Aston Martin DB4 in traffic here*...seen around normal cars it looked a bit naff really IMHO**. 

*That there London

*A neighbour keeps one under a tarpaulin near me in the flats car park...well it is that there London*

Of course I have to ask, unless someone else wants to write the cheque out for me.

 

 

 

The cheque will bounce, but that's not the point

No sure this did feature in the "The Lady in the Van" - the whole point of the film/play was that it was badly painted but I can't be bothered to check...at least it does not mention Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine.

Looks more like a groovy undercover TV Detector van - and now that the destitute over 80's will be pursued for watching BBC 1 without paying (with what remains of their funeral savings) - perhaps it will be pressed back into service.

It was certainly not the van from the film. It is a van and is mainly yellow though ?

Amazing - would that have had a carburettor? Wiki says early 'Energy' engines weren't fuel injected.

Don't think I've seen carburettors in cars beyond the 1992ish model year in any European market stuff.

[Kowalski]

Single point fuel injection, so basically an electronic carb...

I had a 94 with Motronic (I think) single point injection. Were all the Clios fitted with Energy engines?  I mean, most of them would have had cats by 92 which practically needs Fuel injection of some sort.

Have I said, I really like the goona 3 coupe? V6 auto dizzle, in GT spec 230bhp. Low cost, high liability? Mebbe. But I can't imagine a better looking modern car for £4.5k.

(I even prefer the looks to the 406 coupe).

Why would you buy Bavarian instead?

That’s a cracking looking car, nice inside too. Pretty spry to with 7.3 seconds to 60.

Would.

I tried repeatedly - over the course of about three weeks - to buy that car at the end of last year. The seller was a friend of a friend, but he just kept giving me bullshit about “not sure I wanna sell it m7” and “got someone else interested”.

Despite having laid some serious pipe into one of my friends over the course of several months, he wasn’t helping me out. 

I now suspect he knew it was pretty ripe and didn’t want to sell it to someone he knew. Fair enough I guess, but I wish he’d just said! 

Hope someone here takes it on - but looks like it’ll need revitalising and a tickled undercarriage. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

What does 'laying some serious pipe' into someone mean? I can imagine it in a '90's lad mag' context e.g. "I'd lay some serious pipe into that Philippa Forester/Gail Porter etc" but I suspect that's not the case here.
