Yay, his lights all work!!
What a waste of picture opportunities - how about a better interior and an engine bay pic.
Silver is a very good Xm colour isn't it! A replacement rear nearside door would do wonders
for the car leaving just the moderate crease halfway up the rear wing - I've seen worse.
Getting a rare sight now nice spec early s1's.

That a nice car, a lot of car for the money. It a 2.0 i, I suppose that will be rare enough in itself getting such a basic model as well.
That would be a good using car, or a nice future classic with a bit of tidying up.

Wow, only 82k, yes will do a very nice car, and color very flattering indeed -totally XMesque !!-.
Is this a non-hydractive car? Till now I'd only seen this type of middle non-armrest in LHD non-hydractive XMs.

Can't tell from the photo, but it probably is hydractive. Have you seen the really basic XMs that have no centre armrest at all. The centre console ends after the gear lever surrond, and there is a big space between the seats.

Anyone else spot the other rare car in the photos, an 80s Nissan Bluebird which hasn't yet rusted away, impressive

It looks like someone has now bought this as the link is dead and I've just done a fresh search on Auto-trader and it's definitely NOT showing as available !
Has anyone off the forum bought this ?

There weren't any Non Hydractive cars available in the UK and if you look closely the switch is there on the console.
I remember seeing my first Non-Hydra car in France and thinking....Ooo funny 3.5mm suspension pipes..
