I see in the Citroenian that my old car is now available again having been much improved by Mark who bought it from me a long time ago. As well as mechanical improvements he has fitted a number of Series 1 parts (nose cone and spoiler).
I would love to have it back because that interior is just fabulous, but a) I have a V6 with no sun roof that I love and b) I couldn't afford it!
I really hope it finds a buyer who will continue to treat it well.
Sorry, no link because I think the ad is only in print.
These are a couple of pics from when I owned the car about 4 years ago.:

Despite having a preference for series one XM that car is a nice example, at least it was before all the bits got changed! I may be a purist, but I find it a bit strange to buy a late car and then tinker with it - why not just buy an early car in the first place!! Regards, Matthew T.

I suspect, because late cars are comparatively plentiful, have H2 suspension, better NVH, the ES9 engine and are cheaper.
Personally, I am an S1 purist, but have begun to accept late S2 Exclusives as they do drive well.

Wouldn't it be great if you could have a mk2 that somehow looked like a mk1

Most of the cars I have bought nobody else wanted Will, so there are/have been opportunities to pick up genuine S1, albeit now becoming a bit less frequent. I am not sure the H2 suspension is that much better and can anyway be got on late S1. The ES9 engine is smooth I grant you, but also a bit soulless and the accompanying autoboxes quite often seem to pop. The nice late cars I have seen are actually often quite pricey, due to the better condition I guess. With regards, Matthew T.

Bit like original and Mk2 Mini, then...
