VF7X17A00017A7074 • Used in a famous TGV race scene • Accompanied with goodies from the movie such as Jean-Claude Convenant's wallet • Driven by principal cast members in multiple scenes. • Retains its original production configuration, color, and interior as used on screen. • Fitted with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and manual gearbox. • Acquired by Movie Cars Central at a French auction following production. This 1993 Citroën Xantia 1.8L was used as a hero car in the French workplace comedies Espace Détente (2005) and Le Séminaire (2009), both adapted from the cult television series Caméra Café. Appearing in numerous dialogue and exterior scenes, the car became an instantly recognisable fixture of the franchise's offbeat corporate universe. Remaining finished in its original production colour and trim, with several fittings from filming still in place, the car is powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox and is preserved in its authentic screen-used configuration. Acquired by Movie Cars Central at auction in France, it offers a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of French comedy history. Sold on a bill of sale, the Xantia is accompanied by a selection of memorabilia from filming, including a prop wallet, pages of the script, a comic book adaptation, and other related items. Having been in static display, this Citroën will require mechanical recommissioning before being returned to road use.
