Nice, Nice, Nice! Good luck with the sale.

For any of our XM owners who want a CX, I can whole heartily recommend the Athena. Fabulous cars, nice and simple, good performance, and economical too. And its a series 1! What more could you want.

I wish my Athena had nice paint like that :cry:

Thanks for the comments chaps, although it isn't as mint as it is, to quote the description:
you may wish to do some minor paintwork (some scratches and minor indents etc) or you may find her genuine appearance rather charming.
Still a nice car though. 8-)

I have been practicing Will. The painting part is easy, as with all these things its the prep thats the killer.
