Phil would have loved this, just purchased by a friend when did you last see a XM Safari

My wife followed this earlier. I think she was on the M4. Gorgeous.

Since Phil left this has been a quiet thread. Not a bad thing ;-)

Spotted in Marlborough on Friday. The famous French family car of the period parked next to a typical family car of today once again highlights how they have grown. I did spot a sizeable chap getting into the R5 later and noted he was definitely rubbing shoulders with Mrs R5 though! Looked a v clean example and assume one of the last?

typo! I has a R5 turbo2 back in the day. A friend had the R4 when we were in 6th form and was the choice option for lunchtime beers (much roomier than anything else - ironic given its size now.

Agreed R4 was our trip to the pub at lunchtime as we could get 6 in easy

At the local cars and coffee at the weekend this turned up, as Phil isn't here I can admit I was quite smitten

Lots of room in the back with the seats down as well

This is an interesting one - British made on a 2CV chassis - design by the same guy that did the Lotus Elite 1. Nice story as well.
