and that gearbox leak that doesn't look "that drastic" looks bad really, judging by the black swamp
visible in the side view. Or is it just a shadow!?



Bargain for 500 then?

Looking at the stains around the water filler, doesn't fill one with confidence

Its not the tidiest car on earth. If it was local to me, I would try and buy it for £200 and break it. Its the same colour (I think) as my series 2 Xm, so would be handy to have as a spares car for the panels that are the same colour.

That is a big gearbox leak by the looks of it. I would be worried that there is little left in the box to leak out!

That sphere does look like its touching the body as well, there is a bit of a gap on the otherside in comparison.

Even I think its had better days and I buy all sorts of rubbish, definitly looks like a head gasket candidate, I don't know that the strut top is much worse than mine, only mine is oily Don't think I will be bidding on it.

That strut top isn't that bad, well not as bad as this -



It's sad to see XMs looking so forlorn.

Steve.

I would draw the line at that one

He will actually let it go for the £200 though, so if the engine is a runner then it's a reasonable price. The patch under the car looks like rain water.

Missing engine oil dipstick too, it does appear to be a bit of a shunter TBH...

Body looks Ok though, besides the back window....
