For Sale - Brace of manual diesel XMs

[messerschmitt owner]

Citroen XM 2.1TD manual VSX estate

Blue diesel estate, with Bosch pump, leather electric seats and manual gearbox. Dark blue and in overall reasonable condition. Will require some welding (a patch) on nearside sill but otherwise solid. New windscreen fitted December 2013, MoT’d then and driven some 300 miles since MoT and not used since. Started up semi regularly and will start quickly and rise up to operating height. No known suspension issues.

Car is unregistered and not in my name. Imported from another part of the UK (Northern Ireland) with a different DVLA regime and a nightmare for me to ‘visit my local DVLA office’ which they shut with passport, insurance, MoT etc – none of which I would send through the post to them.

At 140k, new headgasket, clutch, timing belt, etc. fitted - all major cost items. Car is on around 172k miles.

Good bits are strong engine, tidy bodyshell, Bosch pump, which means it runs veg – about 30-50% works for me – and a manual gearbox for extra economy – 40+ on a run at high speed, 50+ at 60mph. Central locking works from the fob and. She will either be sitting on alloys or steels depending on price. Has a rare estate leather interior in good condition. Good strut tops.

Bad bits – unregistered, see above, lacquer peel on roof, small dent on bonnet when a roof tile fell off the roof in a storm, hitting it. Sunroof does not work – replacement cassette supplied, mark to paint on nearside rear. Serviced about 1000 miles before going off road. Will likely need a new battery sooner rather than later.

Price £475 with alloys, £400 on steel wheels with XM Mk2 wheeltrims.

Citroen XM SX 2.1TD manual hatchback
White XM SX hatchback with cloth interior. MoT’d till end June 2015 and Sorned from December 2014. 157k miles, new headgasket at 106,000 with timing belt kit fitted then too (72,000 mile kit).

Good bits – MoT’d and runs superbly. Strong and willing engine. Tidy cloth interior which is supremely comfortable. Towbar with working electrics. Working electric sunroof which does not leak. Good strut tops.

Bad bits. Body needs a good wash and a serious valet/polish. Dent on rear offside, nearside rear door needs new window winder cable (supplied) and at present window does not wind down. Couple of bulbs blown on dash. Alarm has intermittent problem and the rear height adjuster needs cleaned and freed off as it is definitely sticking. Car needs a visit to a local Citroen owner with a LExia computer (see FCF for local friendly Citroen owners) to clear suspension fault codes and get all this working properly. Driver’s side tyre needs replaced soon and balanced too (on steels).

Price £350 on steels with XM S2 wheeltrims or £425 on alloys.

I would expect them to go pretty quickly, Cameron. My XM needs are all taken care of at the moment.

Sorry to hear your selling both Campbell. I am quite intrigued to hear what you are moving on too.
I have to say, I have driven Campbell's estate, and it is a good one. Very quick car.


I also have a few items in my garage which I must return to you......

Russ,
am trying to get down to a more manageable number of cars! And the XMs are getting too long in the tooth to be daily runners on tens of thousands of miles a year.

The world is my oyster - Rover 75 tourer, MG ZT estate, BMW 525D tourer, Mercedes E220D, 280D, 300D, 320D estates, C5 estate, Volvo V70, V90 estates, Jaguar X-type estate, Transit van ...

You wish...

Russ has all my chains and shackles - ask him, he won't deny it!

Makes me envious, I had 469YBL, 471YBL and a couple of others I can't remember. Hope they go to a good home.

I won't deny it. I am dismantling the dungeon, I have had my fun!!!
I do have your chains and shackles and a very useful hoist to boot. I have had them for FAR to long. So yes we must meet up and I shall return your property!!



Sounds an interesting bunch of cars your considering.
