XM's to go...
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2020 10:53 am
At long last and with a heavy heart I have to start disposing of my XM's.....I am moving house on Monday and the first two have to go. Much as I would like to hold on to everything, I have to face the reality that my advancing years are not conducive to achieving large projects.
Starting with a Series 1.5 SED 2.1 Auto Estate in Triton Green. Was parked up at the end of a trip to Portugal and back 9 years ago.....is running, will need lots of tlc, but an eminently savable rarity, I think GBP 300 is a fair price to a good home....one viewer coming on Saturday.
Also have a 2.5 VSX estate which came from Neil Pye having had a huge amount spent on it but had an engine stumble that drove me nuts...similar story...I trip to Portugal and parked up. Probably only a spares car, but mechanically excellent....rebuilt head, new radiator and intercooler etc. Will settle for weigh-in money (GBP 175?) as that's where it's destined if no-one wants it.....or come and cherry pick bits off it at reasonable prices.
Sorry to spring these on you guys, but needs must and time has not been on my side.
Watch this space as there will be others to follow that aren't quite so time critical, including an early French 2.1 Auto Ambiance and ..... wait for it.....a "Rip van Winkel/Sleeping Beauty 25 year stored 24v with a tappet rattle together with a 28k mile doner engine in a vandalised 605.
Thanks for your kind attention, gentlemen.....please form an orderly queue.... Rodders
