S2 Handbook Wanted please

[Old-Guy]

For reference and research prior to possible purchase - I don't mind if it's a bit dog-eared and minus its plastic wallet. Someone must have got a spare saved from a wreck or scrapper? Series 2, UK spec.

The last digit of the part number on the back cover must be > 4 and the last page will say CITROEN UK LTD.

Quite happy to pay a reasonable price and postage (UK).

Hello I have some available in great condition and also how many are you after let me know you can also send me a msg on my email address for fast response

Just one, thank you. It doesn't have to be in great condition, just no pages missing and not dirty (grubby is OK).

If I manage to buy an XM, I'd expect it to have a Handbook - if not, then it's handy to know you might have a better copy.

Year could be important, but Citroen don't put a dated copyright notice on their publications.

It must be a Series 2 Handbook. The obvious difference in the manual will be the 'Sumo' steering wheel (the boss resembles a crouching Sumo wrestler) as in the photo below.

Note the Air-bag and the recessed Audio thumb controls.

The last digit of the part number on the back cover gives the year of publication. I wouldn't mind a 1999 English copy, mine is French.

Thanks. Another fragment of Citroen lore to add to my notes.

I bought a Handbook with the part number XM-GB-5004, thus 1994 which checks as it's for a late S1 (the seller knew absolutely nothing about XMs, and I didn't know much more!).

Presumably 5005 was published in the summer of 1994 as production of S2 RHD Berlines started in early June 94 (RP6416 on a maroon S2 hatch).

Thanks Andrew, but your Handbooks will be LHD and US specification. Also postage and import duty will be expensive.

To clarify:

The last digit of the part number on the back cover must be > 4 and the last page will say CITROEN UK LTD; thus Series 2, UK spec.

Thanks
