This one's got a good fuel pump!
Reason for saying that is that I dealt with the (very nice) Citroen enthusiast owner last year sometime when him and a mate came over and bought a fuel pump for it!
Nice car, and one of the first!
Someone I know in the East Midlands Group that owns an XM Si (I think...) let me know that this guy was going to sell it and they took some photos of the two cars. Hope Tim doesn't mind me putting this here, but I've credited him:

My dad and then later i myself had a Gold G reg si, i really liked that car but it had had a hard life when we got it with 190k, kept getting return hoses popping and wiring plug problems, had to do a head gasket too but she drove very well.
They do look so good in Gold, its why i hanker after Matthews V6, stunning looking cars.

Thanks for your kind remark Dean and it is just possible I might get my gold V6 to the X rally and/or Wetherby, or otherwise certainly to the ICCCR. Here is a shot from the Citroen 90th birthday Ace Cafe event that I might not have posted before. With regards, Matthew T.

Seems that Tim has put the pictures he took up on the CCC Gallery:

It is quite possible that I might get the gold car to CXM Dean, especially as I took the 24v last year. With regards, Matthew T.

Still like it! My land lord has a "Unidentified Source" picture of your Gold V6 Mathew for two reasons... the colour, and the reg.. Landlords XM SED 2.1 is H656BKJ !
He has a framed picture which I got from somewhere before I knew you had or before you aquired the gold one...
The other interesting thing, is his car has the identical same RP number as my Manderin XM SED 2.1... but his car is not the useual dark manderin, its.. more "Red"
