So if the DVLA data is correct, it was a 7 or 8 year old import when registered in the UK. It was also no longer road legal as the tax had expired four years before the series started?

Was it finally crashed or wrecked in the series, and so likely to be waiting to be scrapped?

...or sold in continental Europe and was "the guest star" here. ;)

I have my Xantia's French plates still: 542 ELD 91.

Usually when exported, the "export marker" is set. But maybe it was bought by a studio and used only on set.
