I hadn't noticed that at all. This is meant to be a National Rally, all the most obvious models should have all been listed. That isn't good. There were quite a few Visas too.

Love that light gold SM....that is very special. 8-)

What you want is one like this in a colour to match your SM!! With regards, Matthew T.

Oh, that's very nice.

The SM photographed above is in a lighter shade - I do know that it has been resprayed recently, whereas mine I believe to be original.

and the drop dead gorgeous interior (it is marvellous to sit in too!)

That interior is well, hard to put into words really but it's sensational and cooler than the Antarctic...

Love the SM interior. I really like the tan version though, but without the tucked line in the centre of the seat cushion rolls. . Such a nice car though. A true 1970s grand tourer.
A paler Sable would be a great match for your SM. That one at the ICCCR springs to mind.

Those photos are amazing Charles and I think the all black interior also echoes the early XM S1 V6 in some respects. I think the Champagne colour is much very closer than Sable Russ! Regards, Matthew T.

Maybe. I was referring to the pale SM at the rally and sable being a good match. The colour of the SM above matches your XM perfectly. And that would be amazing to have in the garage.
I still get a bit confused about sable and the strength of the colour. :lol:

A few more - it's the front which I think you can see the XM in as well.
