Yes I remember. Even that is an interesting spec. Although UK cars were well equipped, it is a unique spec and engine option for an executive car.
Why they were so rare I suppose.
I'm not saying that having a lower spec car with a large engine is wrong, I just fine the combination quite interesting for some reason!

My second xm was a v6 12v auto si spec. This gave all electric windows electric mirrors abs electric seats but no electric arm rest or leather and on mine manual air con linked to the rotary dials..
I've seen a lower spec early car that was manual and no sunroof but was being broken...
But like you russ.. A v6 should be fully loaded...

Indeed, that was a nice car that one. Now owned by Brian.

Thanks Matthew - I must admit that I wouldn't be without that lens nowadays...
For info, it's this Sigma 10-20mm -

Indeed would be great to see Brian and the XM again at the X Rally!

Talking of wide angle, I did used to have a Fisheye lens that took some bizarre photos...

In the end I sold it after about 6 months - didn't use it enough to warrant the cost.
