Looks like the red estate and the grey meteor are in the same yard as they are parked one behind the other.

Both in Waterlooville.
The estate has the chin spoiler fitted same as I fitted to the Green Hornet.
Mat F you wanted one to fit to yours heres a rolling spares pack

Well spotted Phil, it is indeed at chez Chidlow, my old 19TRS auto (soon to be Ray Fenwicks) is in the background.

You're right! I know someone bought it off the guy I sold it to and was going to do it up. I sent him some pics too, which he's used. Cheeky though as those were taken when it had tax and ticket, in early 2007. The engine had a tendency to overheat then I remember.

yes they are being sold by the same seller as well as the 16v - he's having a bit of a BX clear out! Three for the price of one?

I didn't know you had an early 16v Phil - why did you shift it? If those pics are three years old it must have deteriorated somewhat since then - also looking at the state of his other 'projects' offered for sale.

It was cheap and a bit ropey and was sold to make way for the Phase 2 I bought. It overheated and misfired quite regularly, but when it did go it was super fast - quicker than the one I replace it with.

It needed quite a bit of work: rust in the sill seams and crusty rear boot floor I seem to remember.

I'm quite tempted by the white 16v... I could run them both on the same reg. plate...

Can you remember what the mileage was when you had it Phil? I can't imagine it has gone up at all... Overheating? Head gasket or maybe it just needs a new thermostat and coolant, along with a lower cut in temp switch for the fan?

Either way, far to rare and potentially fun to scrap.

Mileage I seem to remember was 122k. I think the HG was on its way out. I left it idling for a while and it got really hot, so the fans weren't cutting in early enough if I remember correctly. Drove really well though.

That meteor looks a good buy for £100!

Ah but it is not just any XM it is an XM with cardboard number plates well that is indeed a rare find.
Must be a limited edition.
