Hi Mark,
As you know 'Tommy R' sold it to 'Hexagon' who then sold it on with a nice price hike, a few of the Hexagon cars have gone overseas so, as for where it is now, your guess is as good as mine!

I personally could not live with a car without xenon headlights now........but there are alternatives......

I have had experience with fitting Philips extreme bulbs which do make a considerable difference.

typically you find that if the car does not have xenons it will not have PDC too.

some folks avoided the PDC as like the cleaner lines of the rear bumper.

some were saying the xenon lights are heavier too.....

I agree; mint or otherwise.

I paid £32k for mine back in '08 when my car was 4 years old & had 36k miles on it - more miles than others I viewed but the car condition was immaculate.

Bingo!

I've had both versions....candle power and xenons
lots of snobbery surrounding xenons

das chin makes a fair point......historically though non xenon csl's(especially trade sales) have sold for less than xenon'd csl's.

Like i said there's a lot of snootiness in xenon heaven

Makes no difference at all if Cecil is your other motor, weekend play thing, etc. and you have a daily smoker to beat about in.
Having said that, if Cecil was your only car then Xenons could be quite desirable I suppose

Has anyone ever retro fitted the xenons ?

Nice pic Matt and a good place to park in your sig.
