It wasn't me but I've got N451YBL and N471YBL and I used to have N497YBL. There are not many of those about and were all registered in Jan '96

Seeing a lot more over here too. I Shot past a white English reg S1 last weekend, saw the driver turn to the side and gawp at me with that 'OMG another one actually exists!' look, just as I was doing with him! We were both doing about mach 1 though, so far too fast to do any flashing of lights etc.

A couple of days later I was just leaving the work carpark and passed a green S1 estate, and same thing, the driver and I exchanged brief looks of disbelief for an instant while passing. Funny, it was at the exact same place on the road where I first saw my grey S1 (which I now own).

Then SWMBO went for a job interview the other day, and what should she roll up beside (while driving my green S2), but a silver S2 XM... one that I'd seen around the roads for the past few years, and recognised the numberplate of, but it had eluded me for some time lately... now I know where it lives...well works.. Hah! biggrin.gif

I'm seeing more of them about than ever. There was a real drought of them over here for 3 or 4 years, glad to see them out and about now.

Bet they're still more exclusive than Ferraris mind you!

Hi all.

My Exclusive hatch I've just sold was N544 YBL, so we're gradually accounting for them !

A colleague at another site of my firm has a white XM estate. I noticed in the latest edition of Citroenian that the writer of the XM column has a reg not far from mine. N*** RAC.

Oh nearly forgot to mention it but on the way back home from Devon a BX estate pulled up next to me. Don't see that very often, a BX and an XM side by side.

I didn't clock the reg - he came up behind me and then turned left straight away.

If most of them are YBL why is mine MWL?

Hi All

I think that Noz owns one of the NxxxRAC cars. I have another 2 although one has changed to NxxxXCF via a private plate. It seems that Citroen or PSA took blocks of numbers then notified DVLA as they used them up over a period of months as there does not seem to be one common registration date.

Regards

XMexc

All the 'YBL's I have come across so far have been registered Jan'96. Initially they were all estates but now one of two hatchbacks have emerged. The '61' registered I think only applies to 2.1 manual estates.
