I´d be interested in having that review article. The UK eBay site won´t accept Danish addresses and the Danish eBay won´t sell the article. I need to register with eBay USA, it seems.

The flickr review is cited at the Wikipedia XM article under "Critical Appraisal."

I hope to stamp on all comers. I´m also hunting for the edition of Auto&Design which deals with the XM design story.
I know where it is, I just haven´t ordered it yet. The literature for the C6 is nowhere near as extensive. Partly it´s because there are so many more new cars to review that many now are little discussed and also because the C6 was much less of an "event" than the XM was.

I am afraid it was me Robert and please be assured I will put a copy on the site as I know you and others were interested. The price is a bit silly for an old magazine I know! In my collection I have quite a number of XM road tests but this one I have never seen before and it must be pretty rare!! Regards, Matthew T.

Goodness Matthew! I didn't think it would sell for that much. I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to seeing a scan of it.

I notice that the price was raised repeatedly by a new ebay member who had not bid or bought before.
Not sure of any signifcance but thought worth a mention.

Hi John,
I believe that the other bidder was casalingua (Richard?), who comments earlier in this thread having to register with ebay and planning to 'stamp on all comers'
The price did go a bit silly I agree, but the article is very rare I think and not in my growing collection!
With regards,
Matthew T.
