My son saw a black hatchback in Lyme Regis this morning, I think it belongs to someone on here. He was driving a blue P100 pick up.

Peter,
The black saloon in Lyme Regis was probably me. Did your son mention a roof box because that was definitely me.
Funnily on the way home yesterday I saw another black saloon along the A35 near Bridport, He was going west, I was going east in a big queue.

HI john
I remembered your previous mail and asked him if it had a top box but he couldn't remember. He was driving a blue P100 pick up. I think he said it was on the Uplyme road near Hunters Lodge.

Hi all ---
Back from a very pleasant break --- how is it possible to accumulate so much email in three weeks ???????!!!!!!!!
Either way, both adjacent to the canal ----- P reg silver hatch, Sowerby Bridge, bit over a week ago.
C6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the road, moving, canalside, Slaithwaite, last Tuesday. It was the only C6 (there's a surprise) --- mine was the only boat, so if it was you, that was me giving you a wave !!

On the A86 heading towards Fort William, 31st August (Friday) PM. Red S2 estate (P reg).
Also, P reg S2 saloon, slver, in the car park of the Nevis Range, lunchtime same day.
These were the only XMs I saw on a fortnight's holiday in the Highlands - including the trip there and back from Bristol!
I was in a blue Saxo diesel in convoy with a Multipla, so you wouldn't have spotted me as a fellow XM'er.

You were lucky! on our last trip to the North Scottish coast from the South West coast, and about 2,500 miles, we didn't see any!

There's plenty here in South -Western Norway, mostly poverty spec estates with only the front seats fitted and a HUGE loading bay at the back complete with welded in wire mesh frame to separate the front cabin from the rear... Had a smiling "old boy" wave at me a few days ago in a siver estate identical to mine ! cheered me up no end after a long day in the toolroom

Hi Colin
What do they carry in them?

Hi Peter, don't really know... perhaps best not to ask 
The real reason for two seats only is that there's a massive tax concession when buying the vehicle from new as it's classed as a goods vehicle, they also get special green coloured number plates that marks them out as two seater only as the road tax premium is also reduced.
Best wishes, Colin.P

Hi Colin
That's novel. Sounds like the van with windows arrangement back in the '60s People would buy a van and fit seats and windows because there was no or less VAT (or was it purchase tax) on vans, but, if you fitted windows to a van of less than a certain age, you had to repay the tax!
I had an Austin A60 van to which I fitted windows, which was past the age limit, but as I had fitted a later type radiator grill, my kind next door neighbour thought it was newer, and shopped me to the DTI, but ended up with egg on his face!
That's one of the reasons we don't have any neighbours at this location.
