1992 Citroen XM 2.0sei Prestige auto.
Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"V5 Present
MoT Feb 2023
Chassis number: VF7Y3AH0005AH0331
The vendor purchased this 1992 Citroen XM SEI Auto direct from the TV production production company, after it featured in a 2020 episode of Flipping Bangers. In the programme, it was claimed to be the best XM left in the UK, and although the vendor doesn't claim this himself, he feels it is very original and unmolested with no significant corrosion and has never been welded.
"During the show, it was fully recommissioned with new cambelt, water pump, front spheres, and wheel bearing. Since then, while the car has needed no major repairs, but the vendor has carried out minor maintenance and improved the car where necessary, including replacing the four remaining spheres/accumulators and changing the LHM, getting the original radio functioning again, treating the underbody pipes, clearing the drain pipes, flushing the breather system, replacing the roof aerial base and mast, renewing a steering rack gaiter and replacing the rocker cover gasket. The vendor feels that the car is in very good working order and ready to be used, and is only selling because he has too many other classic cars and does not have enough time to use it as it deserves.
"As a higher-spec UK market car, this 1995cc automatic has a full wood and leather interior, air conditioning, alloys and lots of electronics. Series Is, as here, are regarded as the most desirable XMs, with their more stylish dashboards and purer looks. The XM model itself is generally regarded as the last of the 'proper' big Citroens with its hydropneumatic suspension and very distinctive angular Bertone shape. The current mileage is recorded as 95,198 miles (albeit not warranted) and two former registered keepers are noted.
"The paperwork folder includes the V5C and current MoT certificate, plus previous certificates from 2020, 2019 and 2018. There's also the original Citroen document wallet with owner's handbook, radio/cassette player instructions, dealer directory and location map, and service book, which goes as far as 83,770 miles in October 2007. The receipt for the original purchase, at a cost of £18,997 in October 1992, is also part of the file."
Sold for £2916 (including premium). It was offered with no reserve.
Scandinavian Airlines, usually known as SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System), is the flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden founded in 1946. SAS has been a major operator of the DC-9 family, with a total of 71 planes (+82 MD-80s) starting with 10 planes from the Series 20, that was designed to satisfy a Scandinavian Airlines request for improved short-field performance by using the more-powerful engines and improved wings of the -30 combined with the shorter fuselage used in the -10. Ten Series 20 aircraft were produced, all as the Model -21 for SAS. The -21 had slats and stairs at the rear of plane.
OY-KGF (DC-9-21 c/n 47308 l/n 474) was delivered to SAS in March 1969. Between July and October 1980 the plane was shortly leased to Itavia in Italy. Retired by SAS in August 2000, the plane was sold in November 2000 to Thomson Detxis in France to be used as Testbed for electric and electronic equipment as F-WTVH, then as F-WVRG and eventually as F-GVTH. Retired, the plane was stored in Bordeaux in December 2012 to be used as instructional airframe.
The slide shows the plane wearing the first "Viking Dragon" SAS color scheme introduced in 1946.

There's more Local livery apparent in Lincoln these days than Beachball, both fleet-wide and within most specific vehicle types. ALX400s are no exception, and the various Local liveried ones are far more prevalent than their older liveried counterparts.
The oldest ALX400 working at Lincoln is 18122, which at face value just looks like another unassuming ALX. However, there's a bit of a story to this one, because last year did not treat 18122 well.
In April 2021, this bus (painted in Beachball) was retrofitted with LED destination blinds over the flipdot binds it had carried previously. However, about a month later an electrical fault took this vehicle off the road and it went into Lincoln's workshop for repair. During this time it was painted in Local livery, since it was being worked on for long enough for it to warrant being painted at the same time.
By September, it was parked outside in its new livery, but was STILL broken and didn't enter service. Late into 2021 it was eventually repaired and put back into service in November... and it promptly crashed into a ditch on its second day back, resulting in it being off the road again - literally. Whatever damage it sustained was fixed, and it re-re-entered service some time early in the new year. Since then it's been fine, possibly because 18431 was taken as a sacrifice to the gods, thus lifting the curse on Lincoln's repainted ALX400s.
Over a year since I last saw it, in this livery, sat broken in the Great Northern Terrace depot, here is 18122 departing Lincoln bus station with a 13 to Waddington on 24.9.22
Sat in the Stagecoach depot at Great Northern Terrace (Lincoln) on 23.1.23 is Trident ALX400 18122, minus its front panel. The beachball colours are still extant on the inner part that you wouldn't normally see.

Stagecoach East Midlands is one of the few places where Dennis Tridents remain in decent numbers within the Stagecoach group. A few are dotted around the north Nottinghamshire depots, Skegness have their open top Seasiders, and Lincoln/Gainsborough seem to be where most of the closed top ones can be found - 53 plate Plaxton Presidents in particular. Grimsby also has 06/56 plate Enviro 400s, which are still 'true' Tridents underneath their E400 bodywork, unlike 07 plate onward.
18122 is a bit of an outlier here, being the only 04 plate at Lincoln. I'm pretty sure the YN04s were Mansfield's batch to begin with, yet this one somehow made it to Lincoln. Other members of the same batch are still extant at their original depot, but 18122 is the only example of a 2004 ALX400 in the city, and possibly the county, actually? (Excluding Brylaine's ex-London ones)
passing through The Strand Gate at Winchelsea,East Sussex in September 2003.This was a diversion from the normal double-deck route due to roadworks,and buses do not normally go through this arch,but through a bypass and enter a different way.During this diversion the route,from Dover to Hastings and Silverhill,was split into 2 parts,with single-decks doing the Rye to Silverhill part.
The Strand Gate (also known as the East Gate and Watchbell Gate) was built around 1300 to protect the entrance from the harbour at the bottom of Strand Hill. It was at least a third higher than it is today, and incorporated two portcullises and a pair of gates. There was a porter’s lodge inside the northeastern tower, and a room for the portcullis winding gear on the first floor. The town wall joined the northwestern and southeastern towers. The Strand Gate incorporated decorative stonework, some of which is still visible, suggesting that it was seen as the main entrance into the town (as it is today). As with other buildings, the Strand Gate would have been rendered and whitewashed, while the decorative stonework would have been picked out in colour.
