Nice, Nice, Nice! Good luck with the sale.
For any of our XM owners who want a CX, I can whole heartily recommend the Athena. Fabulous cars, nice and simple, good performance, and economical too. And its a series 1! What more could you want.
I wish my Athena had nice paint like that

Thanks for the comments chaps, although it isn't as mint as it is, to quote the description:
you may wish to do some minor paintwork (some scratches and minor indents etc) or you may find her genuine appearance rather charming.
Still a nice car though.

My old lady is had a lot of character, is she charming though? Fabulous to drive though!
Those brown bits are wax oil, not rust!! Its a very, very, very good car underneath!

I have been practicing Will. The painting part is easy, as with all these things its the prep thats the killer.

True.
All painting is 99% prep.
