Hi i'm Rémon from The Netherlands (Rotterdam) I was searching for a document how to repair my Phillips radio displaylights, and found a great how too on this site

I own a 1998 Bleu Mauritius XM 3.0 V6, i bought it a year ago. I'm also a happy owner of a 1988 CX turbo 2, but it's stored for 3 years now.
Here are some pictures of my car

Welcome here!
Wow, a european model WITH a sunroof, most Euro XM didn't have them, which I wish the UK cars DIDN'T have them either! Was it a cost option?

It's not leaking at all
only noisy when it's open at 50mph
I'm still happy with my sunroof

Very Good.
I was only stating a personal opinion. I hate them... But if you like it then.. fine.
As for the colour, I agree with Robert, beautifull colour..

Brilliant car Ray van O, brilliant! Got something a bit similar (blue mauritius and beige leather..thanks Robert!) but just a simple 2 liter, going everyday and every week and with sunroof! It's my other half's fault, she wanted this one and also because of the sun roof! Be careful with that beauty in Rotterdam! Nice one!!
