There's a rather tidy Xantia, located in Reigate, which has appeared on FCF.
XUD 1.9TD manual
MoT issues, but eminently fixable, by the look of it.
Looks far too good to scrap or break.
Owner wants it shifted soon.

The LHM leak sounds like the strut return pipe...30 minute job start to finish, and £10.

That's the best version of Xantia, first facelift, with improved headlamps, but the original grab handle dashboard.

EDIT:

Just checked the MOT fail notice and it's somewhat more comprehensive.

It's not worth it to fix it to pass on, but as a keeper it's worth doing, especially if one can weld. It needs one patch and a day spending on it.

I see there is interest in Congleton. Transport costs would be about £200, maybe a bit less.
