1989 Earls Court Motorshow

Post by MTXM » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:05 pm

I understand that the XM UK launch took place at this event and I have being trying to locate info, especially photos of the very impressive revolving stand. Apparently there were three XMs involved and also reference to a space craft being included!! All I have is the tantalizing photo and brief account in Citroen 'Frontlines' magazine (see below). Any more information anyone? With regards, Matthew T.

That looks very interesting, ill have a look through my Frontlines and see if there is any info in there about it, though you might well have them all anyway? :lol:

Im sure someone must have the Goffey road test on tape somewhere ... its a shame older road tests dont often make it onto youtube etc. I have a very good one on a Xantia Activa, driven by Tiff Nedell, and a few others but no XM ones.
