Low mileage or what?

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.

No idea who the Scot is.

You missed an excellent car. Only once did it fail to proceed with a failed ignition amplifier module. The exhaust manifold was cracked on it as well. I think thats the height of any real trouble from it apart from routine maintenance.

It was quite economical too. 31-33mpg on average.

Well thats good to know.....I think :?
I really do regret not buying it though :cry: . To rock up to a rally a say it's only got 17K on the clock, would not get tiring!

But not to have anything really catastrophic go wrong proves it's a good one...and interesting for me to know too.
At least it would be great to see it at a rally one day maybe.

I bought one of my XMs at 240,000, it was still going quite happily when I sold it at 292,000 and the interior was as good as most of the others. I don't know what they make the standard interiors from but they don't half wear well.

Cheers Campbell,
Great meeting you yesterday.
I'm just mulling over what could have been!!! But too true. I think I could have gone stir crazy trying to keep it looking imaculate :lol:

I love my SED and am very happy with it. So no regrets really.
I'm more glad it went to a good home and not trashed.
But I would love to see it in the flesh, so to speak, one day.
