VARIOUS Xm's for sale - either repair or spares donors

[andmcit]

All on SORN and now on death row. Save an early car before I'm forced to weigh them in.
Priced to go I feel fairly and nor far off weigh in value:

Forest green 2.1 TD VSX manual estate - N plate –£350
Clutch gone and needs front bumper refitting after minor prang.
Otherwise straight car that drives well. Towbar fitted and original Citroen stereo.

Triton green H plated 3.0SEi V6 auto saloon - £350
Gorgeous colour and has wood/leather/AC and IIRC working sunroof.
dead autobox but offered with working replacement - fab car that drove/rode superbly
but failed gearbox in forward gears - reverses fine.
Idiots deliberately rammed osr rear door where it lost it's drive and before i could rescue it
and fully stoved in just the door and in doing so breaking glass so replacement required
- replacement panel available but not in matching colour.

Mauritious Blue H plated 2.0i manual saloon - going concern -£250
- broken 1/4 glass where scumbag broke in to steal (broken) video player on back seat.

Mauritious Blue H plated 2.0SEi manual saloon - leather & AC - going concern -£250
- minor issues competent DIY'er will have sorted in weekend for MOT - schitzo suspension soft/brutally rigid firm

Mandarin Red L plated 2.0i manual saloon -£200
- best near hovercraft suspension ride of any Xm I've ever driven - duff HG but does run v.short distance

Mauritious Blue H plated 2.0Si manual saloon - going concern - £175
- minor issues competent DIY'er will have sorted in weekend for MOT

Mandarin Red H plated 2.1SD manual saloon - £175
- replacement clutch incorrectly fitted so starts but doesn't drive - nice engine - lacquer peeling 215k miles

Gold metallic H plated 2.0i manual saloon -£175
drives beautifully but osr crump has fractionally bowed outer 1/4 panel skin forwards
tight onto osr door - opens still but visible ripple in wing - not sure if rear ended or
caught wing higher up whilst being reversed as bumper appears fine


Mileages around 120k each unless stated otherwise.

These need to go and I WILL weigh them in as is and cannot break them but as they're at
banger money buy a fixer upper or buy one to harvest spares whatever - I'm out of it.

Now need to think about the others I have left although if these get weighed in may just
jack in Citroening altogether as this will break me totally.

If there are no takers Andrew I would put them on ebay, I'm sure you will get more than scrap value for them. Don't give up on them I still have two and a half. Hatches I could live without but there is nothing to replace the estate.

As per FCF Andrew, Im stressing an Interest in the Manderin one listed... PM from FCF waiting..

Paul, if I could pop it on a pallet and get the courier round you could have it by Tuesday.

IIRC, it had a fighter pilot as the previous keeper at RAF St Athan. Basically sounds like the
numpty may have fitted the new clutch the wrong way 'round. Take up is brutal and stalls
the engine but in truth it's been a long while since I messed about with it. Bit sketchy now.
Think I got it to drive into the trailer when I had it.

I'll dig out the RP number and reg as I took a note of things on them all earlier.

What condition are the body panels in on the Mandarin cars? You mention lacquer lift, but anything else?

[andmcit]

No body damage but I'd need to be very specific for you if we're talking bumper scuffs and Nosecone splits etc. In fact there's another Mandarin red 2.0i I missed to add but somehow I've managed to
totally overlook it:

Mandarin red 2.0i manual on a G plate - £150

Early airflow meter fuel injection. Incomplete nosecone panel
- got to be primarily spares car as requires 3" square welding on
strange sill damage symmetrical on each side; may have been
badly supported or lifted? Can't recall what mechanicals it needs.

If nobody here is interested in these within a model specific 'fan club' there's going to no joy out there in ebayland where these
are historically regarded as trouble and expense and only landfill candidates. What I've also found with ebay is it's a total waste
of time selling a cheap car - great for buying but rubbish when you see the return on a 200quid car with their cut removed
- massive %age compared to a £500 or £1000 car.

I am being very specific, so would need you to have a look-see and let me know really.

since Paul wants to bag the SD, this one might be of interest.

I might be in mine when we meet later this month, so if still available then you can see.

BTW.. regarding ^^...strut tops?

[andmcit]

Specifically body panels (wings doors bonnet) 95% of all these cars will be good as are the strut tops. many have been off the road in dry storage for 5-10 years!

Andrew

[andmcit]

What specific paint code is yours as I'll need to confirm a match so you'll be 100% confident panels will
be Ok. What's the real sickener are these cars were my fallback/reserve and even a pension supplement
as either replacement cars or spares backup/donors.
