Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

I can't see it finishing at £1.20 somehow and had feared the Puggerisers pushing it over £400odd
though I'm surprised a 2.0iTCT engine only sold for £50 yesterday - don't say anything :evil: ,
I need one and planned to bid but missed the auction close!! There was that Gretna silver one
last week only had one bidder for £150 too.

I'll try and see this car asap before the auction finishes/bidding raises the price. Funds and space
may limit me. Incidentally, have you seen the other green Activa and another v6 Exclusive.
So many temptations... :roll:

No as yet andrew, but if you werent going to as you said you wernt going to, i would have a go at saving her...

I wont bid against you, so you can save another thats fine.. I have really got too much here at the moment, hence the tempery storage bit ;)

I thought you couldn't get on with the seats in a Xantia TE? And unless you convert them,
being an Exclusive means they'll be leather too...

Mind, it has a satisfyingly menacing growl, has a brilliant autobox and really doesn't
have the drink problem you'd expect for a 3.0 v6; I'm not just imagining it!! Never
wants to go above 2k revs unless you want it too.

I'm willing to overlook flatter, nastier leather-covered seating given the fact that nothing is going to beat the comfort of my Sx :lol:

And I'm genuinely intrigued as to why the V6 gets so much praise. Only today I was speaking with Stuart at Brodie Engineering who explained he's bought and sold at least two V6s in the last month, and he sounded absolutely smitten with them. I had him down as one of the if-it-ain't-a-D-it's-crap club but he was genuinely enthusiastic and told me I'd love one. I'm sure I would.

Also, learn something new every day... I thought they were 2.5 litre, not 3.0 litre!
