Don't think I have seen this one before. Got all sorts of footage including some of the end bit of the cheesy Citroen uk film.

Good post, Russ. Not seen that one either.
Although obviously shot in old 4:3 format, some curious elongation on many side-shots of the car, maybe to make it appear even longer and lower??

Another couple of recent XM video's. Neither are UK but I couldn't seem to locate the video's thread.

In Polish, without subtitles, but a nice bit of hydraulics, technical information at the end of this one. Nice condition car and the Ronal wheels really suit it.




An overall view of the XM...The last great Citroen.

A compilation of Xm in films. You can see the dynamics compared to other cars.

"The Last Great Citroen" is a splendid - and rather sad - affectionate look at something now lost.
Lucky us, that it happened at all!
The languid commentary says it all.

A few inaccuracies but on the whole a pretty good watch.

Another recent video review.
Interesting that the reviewer knows that with DIRAVI steering, when operating, there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and steering rack...steer by oily pipe...years ahead of fly by wire.

A splendid video, Will - some superbly professional photography, of a S2 V6 in obviously great condition.
The suspension doing everything it should on those open roads.
Shame that English dialogue isn't available, as the presenter has plenty to say, most of it complimentary, by the sound of it.
A few English snippets while in the rear seat . . . 'Very powerful' . . . 'business class' . . . 'premium' . . .
And a reassuring LEFT FRONT DOOR OPEN . . . 11"C . . .

Did google 'Vedro S Botami Club', but only got an ad for a 240rouble reg plate surround!

Loved the shots of those open, rural roads. Lots of the same down here, so good fun will all the available horses! :)
