Rare 3 litre 24 valve on Ebay from WHM

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Rare 3 litre 24 valve on Ebay from WHM

Post by XMBloke » Sat Jan 10, 2015 12:45 pm

No doubt this has been faved on most of our Ebay watch lists...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-J-CITROE ... 2a4986641b

Never dealt with Worsey House Motors before. Anyone on here bought anything from them? I know they ask top price for old strut tops according to their Ebay listings. The ad claims they're selling on behalf of a customer. Wonder what the strut tops, subframe and rear jacking points are like...might have to take a trip out there.

1992 Rover 216 GTi twincam 16v 130 bhp. Unbreakable mechanicals, bodywork - less so.

2015 - Still waiting for the hover conversion kit but do wear two neckties at same time.

I inspected the car when it was last for sale and posted a report including photos Andrew but generally the car is in good shape. With regards, Matthew T.

Cheers Mathew. Have to say I'm tempted. My first XM was a late Series 1 with full leather and all the toys and I've always regretted selling it. Prefer the square dash and steering wheel of early XM's.

Not quite as rare as danny whm is telling us though but still scarse in xm numbers.

we think there is actually 20 of these 24v girls in the uk in which I have one on the road too..

with performance figures they have they were to that point citroens quickest and fastest model even more so a standard sm..

200bhp with 3 cats ..
0-60 in 7.5 seconds.. yes really too
Top speed in excess of 140mph.

the green car above belong to a forum member.. id expect it to be tidy without needing to inspect it.

Danny at WHM is a reasonable Chap. Charges top dollar and there can sometimes be some surprising mechanical issues to deal with in a short time frame, but I'd be confident the car won't have any rot. He breaks the rotten ones for parts.

If I didn't have too many cars and too much to do, I would look at that car and strike a deal.

Nope.

Every time I get near one they run away...

I'm seriously pushed for time recently, been working very, very, long days (and nights). Otherwise I would get a 24v and (probably) flog the Cobalt 2.1.

Don't tell Mrs Dm...selling the Cobalt car might not actually be on the agenda... :D

For reference, there appear to be 4 V6-24v on the road and 8 SORN.

So, out of 12 cars, you and Matthew have five. Greedy Gits... :D

Let's add this one at WHM and does David H still have one, if so that's 7 out of the 12 accounted for.
