Pretty sure it is a 24v. The badge would be longer if it was an SEi. Not sure which is worse, the sacrilege of the green one or the hideous white thing!

You have to actually see the damage to some parked cars in the Paris side streets to realise just how destructively spaces are enlarged to fit another car in.

Cars used to have sturdy steel bumpers to facilitate parking I think until the early 60s (??). After that they became embellishments and then gradually lost their purpose and kind of disappeared. But the parking habits in Paris haven't changed. Maybe the Parisians are more aloof about crushed fronts and rears than people elsewhere.

The green car was indeed a 24v and I have removed the photo as suggested by Paul with apologies for any offence caused. Regards, Matthew T.

What is that white thing supposed to be! What an awful looking XM!
Otherwise, great pictures
I've missed out on seeing this sad looking green 24v

Why would it cause offense? It was a car that had been gratified.

We haven't got to this stage without an XM looking a bit sad and scrapped. Post it back up
