Thanks for posting this Matthew. I'm surprised at how little of the original stuff was used, but at least the XM got a favourable write up. The author is a BX owner, and wrote to me that a XM is on his radar.

Thanks Matthew.

Oh, how I wish I'd taken on that CX 2.5 DTR Turbo2 with rotten roof, last year.... Aaaaaggggrrrrhhhh....

Since Robert has now said S2 V6 exclusives are the ones to go for, I might need to change my thoughts.... ;) :lol:

Thanks chaps and it was pure luck that we bought the paper as we rarely get one on a Saturday and even less often the DT! My understanding is all V6 XM will become collectable, at least that is what I am hoping!! With regards, Matthew T.

Luckily for me a diesel estate is all I will have and a manual one as well :)

Ooh I've have liked that, only half an hour away from me how'd I miss that.

No, no more cars! I'm sure the gf's mum is putting arsenic in my tea, the stomach ache isn't from the guilt of having several of my cars on her driveway. Not to mention the ones dwelling in my mum's barn.
