You've got more XM's in your photo library tat we have in the UK, I think.

This late Series 1 SE looks great. I love the no sunroof look, I wish mine didn't have a sunroof, but all UK XM's did.

You don't see many base versions with no rear spoiler. I wonder if it has Hydractive?

Ah ha will, I picked the SAME car as you before I looked at your link!

Yes that V6 is stunning, do the owners know about these Web sites!??

Im in agreeance with the No sunroof option aswell!! No leaks, more headroom etc etc..

Home market cars tend to get a lower spec, they will "always" buy their own product so dont need a spec upgrade to sell them....

Ive onlyever seen one XM with no sunroof, it was a White V6 Si MANUAL, it had a body kit on it, which I bought, but it was being broken - a shame really, this was around 5 years ago. I think it was a H plate RHD too... The no sunroof was - .... nice...

I wish mine had no sunroof. It did come out of the factory without one though! Then some fool went and put an aftermarket one in - manual handle and all :evil: I suspect it was done by the original garage before sale.

I thought there weren't any UK spec XM without sunroof before 1998, it was standard equipment. Maybe these cars were imports.
I normally try to avoid cars with sunroofs due to the headroom issue, wind noise and potential for leaks and problems. I also think the roofline looks better.

Yes, until 1998 when it became optional as air conditioning was standard then.

Huh look at that - those interior shots of the V6!

The steering wheel is on the wrong side to start with :lol: :lol: :lol: however, top spec car but NO Radio controls on the steering wheel! She has cruise though, so must be a 1993 car or so...
