A good specification in a really nice colour. Looking forward to seeing this being put back into service.

You did well finding that, how did you come across it?
Here is a bit of history.

Thanks for that information. It came up by chance when my partner was chatting with Ally Getty. We said we were looking for an XM and he pointed us to Peter, who was looking for "the right" home for his late father's. Luckily we were able to convince him that we had the facilities and the enthusiasm to take it on, and within a week or so Peter ferried it to the mainland for us and it was transported south to begin its new life on the Devon coast (it will be protected from by lanoguard or similar – but as it survived the Scottish mainland AND the Isle of Arran it's clearly doing quite well).

It's a solid car, and remarkably well preserved in many respects, but still needs a fair bit of fault-finding and restoration before it can hit the road.

I haven't owned an XM for about 19 years, but have yearned for one for a long time, so it's very exciting to be restoring this one!

Ohh, I wish I'd known about that one looking for a home, a V6 manual in memphis blue is one of my top pics of Xm.

A V6 manual is a pretty quick car, 0-60 in 7,8s and runs out of puff at 138mph.
