Hello!

Post by crazyking » Tue Feb 10, 2015 9:53 am

Hi to everyone. My name is Andrew and I'm from Kharkov, Ukraine. Beforehand I want to sorry if my English is bad. I became an owner of Citroen XM Y3 2.0 i Turbo CT (1993) last year, in April. Its colour looks like a cherry, interior lined with beige leather. My XM is in very good condition what a great merit of the previous owner. I think that XM is beautiful car and I'm really glad to own it. I'm open for questions so go on :)

Welcome Andrew and it would be great to see some photos of the car. The colour is probably Mandarin and the combination with beige leather is really attractive. With regards, Matthew T.

Sounds like a fabulous colour combination, and yes, some photos would be good to see.
Did look Kharkov up on Google Earth . . . I found only Kharkiv / Kharkiv Oblast in north-east Ukraine - is this the same?
Must be difficult times for you there right now. Lots you could tell us, I'm sure.

Welcome, Andrew!

Hi Andrew, I'm new here as well & waiting to collect my new purchase of an XM in Black with black leather. I'd also be pleased to see photos of your car. By the way your English is a million times better than my Ukrainian!

Very nice car and colour combinations! This car must be ultra rare in the Ukraine? Wish you many happy driving hours behind the wheel! Seems you even have cruise control?

Series one .. is that after market cruise control you have there?

Is that turbo c.t on the side? Meaning an early turbo petrol? Did you fit the single spoke wheel or was it from factory like that?

In the uk the turbo c t engine first came when the xm got a two spoke steering wheel.
