Description
I am a Citroen XM enthusiast with a collection of several cars and active in the Citroen Car Club and the on-line Club XM Forum and I am offering for sale this very rare series one V6 top spec model. The website ‘How Many Are Left’ states that there are only 16 examples in the UK that are all currently off the road where most will probably remain!
Unfortunately I must find another enthusiast to take on and complete the restoration of this car, which will mainly comprise preparing and repainting of the cills where repaired and other tidying up of the bodywork, depending on the final effect desired. The challenge for me is that I have several other cars and, while I could not resist saving this late S1 top spec low mileage example, resources are currently very tight and I must recoup something of the time and expenditure invested.
I can confirm that the mileage is around 73, 500 and the engine starts on the button and is very smooth and quiet and pulls like a train! The current registration is a 'personal' number from the previous owner and it was my intention to reinstate the original 'K' plate which I understand costs around £50. The car has all the electrical goodies imaginable, including heated seats and adjustable mirrors and there is also cruise control. All the electrics work and including the sunroof and front seats and adjustable armrest, although the driver side window is a little slow and I am unsure about operation of all the heated seats.
In brief summary of the main work carried out to date:
- New starter motor installed.
- Four replacement part worn Michelin tyres fitted.
- Autobox professionally rebuilt and removed and refitted by me, with other related tasks including replacement of vital fluids.
- Six suspension spheres and accumulator sphere replaced where necessary and fitted with valves and recharged.
- Cill repairs in progress as mentioned above.
The car should be available later this/ early next month and will be sold with a full MoT and is located in Aylsham, North Norfolk.
I attach further recent exterior and interior photos and any questions please PM or email me.
