I see WHM are trying to sell the green beasty again...

I wonder if it's any good? Seem to remember it was up for sale earlier in the year.

I went and looked at the car before the previous sale as WHM is fairly close and the condition then was certainly good apart from a few minor cosmetic issues. A previous owner was David Hallworth on this Forum, who I am sure can shed more light on the history, although I recall it had a new clutch. I hope the next person that buys the car keeps hold of her a bit longer! Regards, Matthew T.

Yes you'd think the owner would hang onto it, for it's rareness if nothing else. Nowt as queer as folk!

[citroenxm]

He couldnt he had TWO MORE!!

[marc61]

What three of them? That's just greedy.

[citroenxm]

Well, ones his dads from about 2 years old, another was a rescued grey one...

4 RHD models left in uk....

What a laugh! Ive got one, Mathew has one, AndMCit has one, theres one in Edingborugh and Mr H has two aswell... That to me sounds like more then four..

Evenin' folks.

This is indeed my old car. It certainly looks a bit scruffier now then it did when I had it. Sitting on it's bump stops in the mud isn't a good look!

I did indeed own 3 of these when I sold the green car. Along with a Series 2 XM and a Xantia Activa, all of which were doing less then 1000 miles a year so it made no sense to keep them all.

It drove nicely when I sold the car having had a full set of spheres. I'd also put a new set of coolant pipes that run through the Vee on it along with new inlet manifold o rings. The person I sold it to decided that he didn't like the heavy clutch and sent it in to have a new one fitted to it. I couldn't fault the clutch, it was the same as the other ones I've had.

Here's a link to my for sale thread from June 2012:

It's done about 12k miles since I sold it just over two years ago too.

I heard the guy I bought it from got fed up with it as he was using it to commute to the centre of London from Kent every day.
