That's a thought. Use it in the Paris-Dakar...

Wonder if an XM has ever crossed the Sahara?

I would imagine someone thought great idea...got to the edge of the desert to give it a go, and thought ....NA...better not!

You can cross the Sahara in virtually any car, it's not all huge dunes. A friend of mine took an Audi 100 estate across accompanied by a Mercedes W123.

Nice..got a soft spot for the Audi 100 Avant.

An XM wouldn't be the first Citroen to cross the Sahara by a long stretch.. The Citroen Kegresse half-track was the first and I believe the very first mechanically propelled vehicle to do so...

Yes that's right...quite a thing for Citroen.

The Kegresse story is rather interesting as the Sahara was by no means the only pioneering crossing it made. It would basically go anywhere and it did!

Read all about it in Andre Citroen's biography published by Haynes. A very god read indeed. Our Andre was quite a character!
