Late 1993 Citroen XM V6 SEi, originally a Citroen UK car and since then enthusiast owned with literally no expense spared on its upkeep. This is what some believe is the best of the breed XM’s being a very late series 1 where they’d sorted the electrical gremlins and before slightly toning down the ‘Citroeness’ in the XM.
Black paintwork in exceptional condition for its age (and for an XM!) with black leather again in real good order.

Included is obviously the full history file which includes a page from an old autotrader where the car was advertised in 2000 for over £4000.
Theres quite a considerable spares package with the car as well including (off the top of my head)
Cables for the window units (they’re all fine but should one go they’re there!)
Parts to fix the sunroof
Rear boot lid reflector panel (off a newer XM should you prefer those badges)
Original steering wheel (has been fitted with a proper Citroen single spoke wheel)
Brake discs
Air con Reciever/Dryer unit
Air Con condenser
Various relays and switches
Radiator hoses
Pretty sure theres other stuff but I’ve never catalogued it.
Honesty bit: Whilst the car is in fabulous condition it does have a few ‘quirks!’
Sunroof is jammed (bits are there to fix it as are the instructions)
Air con doesn’t blow cold, again there are parts there should you wish to get it going
Cruise control looses speed, suspect vacuum pump as EVERYTHING else has been replaced now
Occasional clicking of starter motor when starting the engine. Minor niggle and always starts though.
Occasionally when you press the indicator the stereo looses sound for a split second, again its not really something you notice that much.
The car really does drive fabulously and it looks stunning and it has the (in my opinion) better ZF gearbox (non-autoadaptive) and with the number of oil changes this thing has had there shouldn’t be anything to worry about there. Its shod with 4 Michelin Pilot Premacy’s, 2 of which are nearly new.
MOT till the end of May and taxed till the end of feb I think.
Would anybody be interested? Money wise any interested parties and I could come up with some kind of arrangement. I’m selling it because a; I never intended to keep it long and b; my trader insurance policy is coming to an end and I wont be renewing it this time.
Car is half way between Derby and Burton on Trent and I’d take some pictures if the weather wasn’t so damn awful!

Oh, I've arrived a bit late at this thread. Is this the XM backlash happening? I recall about four months ago they were really the flavour on this forum. Your example sounds like a good one too Ian. But there must be some reason why only 35,000 XMs were made as opposed to 2.5 million BXs. I see more XMs on the road here in D than BXs however - they were pitched against Bimmers and Mercs and obviously failed but some people still like them.
I couldn't help also noticing Jayboy's modest stable of Citroens - reckon you need a warehouse to store that lot not unlike the one Citroen themselves have got outside Paris
