Not an xm but.....this is beautiful

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.

that is very lovely indeed - doesn't look too bad on the outside - I have a CX25Gti but there is somthing about the smaller engines, I has a S2 with a douvrin engine and a manual box, carb simplicity - really liked it - sold it and bought an XM - still regret it though. it came up for sale last year on ebay without an MOT - went for £500 - it was red with an axeminster carpet in the boot!

That is lovely - if I had the money I'd go for it simply because it's the same colour as my GS!

It's a '77, but one of the very last to be painted in that colour. It's a facelift crossover, with the later rear lights, early grill with stainless trim strips added (a 1 year only part), and the early paint colour. This combination of trim and paint colour was only available for a few months and my estate and a saloon in Devon are the only 2 known to exist from this period. Not many survived because the paint adhesion wasn't always up to scratch - I've had to repaint large areas of mine due to paint loss.
