The Brodie XM sounds like more of a donor project, ie. pick up a blown engine car with a good body and transfer the 24v bits across! Regards, Matthew T.
Yes, I suppose that is what he might of meant, surface rust on things like the wheel carrier ect.
Know all about that...had to do mine... It does look like a great car, I just don't particular like the colour I'm afraid.
I agree about the mandarin 24V...what a great project though ....A complete nightmare of course, but a good one to take on dream on!!!

My apologies John and you are quite right that I made a mistake and the green car did NOT reach the reserve. I am also sorry for seeming to malign green XM and my first was an Emerald VSX which I thought was the 'bees knees' at the time! The fact you have had so many does nevertheless confirm that the colour was popular!! Regards, Matthew T.

It certianly was a very popular colour, I wonder if it was a result of the British Racing Green cliche!...appeal more to the Brits.
Infact I would say, Mandarin and grey for mk1 and green for mk2 were the most popular colours for XM in my neck of the woods.
Green suits the XM shape,..... just not my thing.
