Exactly Paul, they were so cool. Love the massive rear hatch window too. on a recent visit to our local scrappy, there was a later model in light blue in there. Can't remember the model now, but had a look around it.

Yeah...might just do that...ahem!
I can't recall if it was an auto. I think I recognise it, I'm sure it lived locally. The scrapyard can get cars from Gloucester too, so it might have lived there. very rare now both versions. Shame!

Interesting and quite recogniZable tastes here!

May I advise you all just, to go to France.
France. Yep!
Where you just park next to some XM Exlusive in the supermarket. Where Lancia's just overtake you on the Route Nationale. Zx's all over the place as are Renaults 25, 21's......
And my XM just being very boring and normal with just a foreign number plate....:)

Just read this topic...

You know, I've been with Cits and Pugs for so long now I'd not have a clue and don't have a clue about anything else really...

I agree with the Renault Fuego though.. Always had a hankering for one as they look so magical...

And I've always fancied a Matra Bagheera. That would have solved the perennial problem of who sits in the front seat when the kids were little. Mind you, so would an early Fiat Multipla but there are limits!

And I've always fancied a Rover P6 3500...

If I had to replace my lot with something modern and new I'd not have a clue.
