I have just bought a copy of this book about the development of the XM and it is really great, some wonderful pictures.

There are several copies around at various prices. Highly recommended. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't cover the Mk 2 but excellent all the same.

Re: Excellent XM book on ebay.
There's no s2 as it was intended to describe the car's development and design and available
at the car's launch through the dealer network in the UK. See it more as a posh brochure to
sell the merits of the car both to prospective buyers and affirmation of the correct choice to
new car purchasers.
There is this second book, the Norbye one which is usually quite expensive, that's worth
having too that wasn't Citroen sponsored but again issued at the car's launch:

Re: Excellent XM book on ebay.
I saw a copy of that second book and it isn't quite as good as the first. But a worthy addition to a collection. By the way that ad for the second book: The seller, the infamous doolie-aj from Darlington, has been trying to sell that at various prices for absolutely ages. I saw it at £17.99 then £14.99.... etc. maybe if he just put it up with a low start on an auction, he might get as much as £7.50 for it?!

I can't believe we didn't all jump at a chance to buy such a rare Citroen XM...the only one in the world...robert_e_smart wrote:Thats the nutter that came on here offering the world famous XM with springs for free a while ago.
He also sold me a leather steering wheel (not) and fully refurbished wheel trims (not) for top money. Beware.!
Maybe his name is Doolally-aj.

Actually, I've just thought maybe his real forum name is more appropriate. DooLie.... He did to me...!Just evidence that care in the community doesn't always work. Sad bleeder.
