Weird German 24v!!

[MTXM]

Here is a slightly strange concoction that I spotted while browsing German ebay, a totally Series 2 1995 registered XM with a Series 1 V6 24v engine, which I thought was discontinued around 1993! The item no. is 180677571259.
I know the V6 12v soldiered on into early Series 1, but not the 24v surely. Is it possible the engine might have been retro fitted? With regards, Matthew T.

Possibly NOT Mathew, the PSA V6 engine was NOT introduced to the XM untill 1997 P reg.

So I guess as the V6 was so much more bigger in Germany, it was still on the order books...

Nice find! Have you bought it??

Hi Matthew

The manual V6-24v continued in production in the early Mk2 years but only LHD ones were made.
It was withdrawn from production when the new V6-24v engine with the 4HP20 autobox was introduced.
There is a note in the workshop manual that in 1996 it is the only model of XM to retain Bendix ABS while all others got Teves.

Thank's everyone and that's something else new I have learnt. Even so, a Series 2 24v with the earlier engine must be a very rare beast!! There are no plans to buy the car at present Paul!!! Regards, Matthew T.

It'll be interesting to see what it makes being over in Hamburg - I'm sure that it'd make good money over here!

If you think, Franklin, the 12v PRV V6 makes a nice noise then go and drive a PRV V6 24v HARD without the inlet pipes on the manifold... now that IS THAT NOISE!!!
