1994 Citroen ZX Avantage Diesel.
My new daily. I had to take the blue one off of the road to get it fettled and fixed up, especially with winter on the way and another Scotland journey on the cards, I daren't risk it again in a car with unknown cam belt history and other niggles stacking up.
So, L461XMR. I had seen it on eBay about a month or so ago and it got no bids. I kind of regretted not bidding as it looked nice and was cheapish. It then appeared again at a lower start, and I emailed the seller asking a few questions. Satisfied with the response, I bid in the dying minutes, and was the only bidder.
It was owned by the sellers mother in law for nearly 20 years, and unbelievably up until recently, had the numberplate YVR1!
108K on the clock, but thats a drop in the ocean for a XUD, and what a XUD it has. It pulls well and the gears fell perfect, in fact it might be the best gearbox I've yet to handle. PAS and ABS too, which is nice after having neither on the blue one. Amazingly clean inside too, like no ones ever sat in it basically.
Sadly there is some rust breaking through, no doubt due to it living in Yorkshire for so long, so the next MOT will probably be a fail. I may fix it up though, depending on the situation.
MR is a Swindon plate, no idea where it was sold though.
