Couldn't be, could it?

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

.

I just checked on the DVLA website, and sure enough, it's a 2.1.

Who's going to tell the seller? He may have bought the car believing it to be a 2.5...... :?

No it couldnt, more like a 2.1 if its derv, or its a manual 2.5, there is just no room for the auto in there.

Edit, ive just seen the ad, it has to be a 2.1 then as you can see the hp18 gear lever in the cabin

And even using a hairdryer, those bloody awful grass hopper/golf trolleys graphics will have
done the natural uv fade on the paintwork/lacquer no good at all - the resultant marks left
would be a bit like wearing a watch out on a very bright sunny day - do'h...

full respray anyone?

Well, that's what I thought, but having made a fool of myself so often I wasn't going to catagorically refute it. I emailed the chap, he says he only puts them on, but he thought it might be a 2.1.
