thats a lot of XM's! they were produced between 1989 and 2000 but later ones didnt sell that well which is why you may not have seen any.

A rare sight no matter what reg they are but T, V, W and X do exist.
Got this one that I passed onto my father:

I couldn't get on with that godawful autobox that's speed dependent
with it's selected ratio that is never in that optimum top gear as it's out
of step with our GATSO policed speedlimits and the paranoid drivers
tootling about at 25, or 35 with their brain in neutral. :roll:

The late Roger Bradford had a X reg Xm for sale earlier this year, a TCT Auto from memory, in silver.

I prefer the earlier series 2 cars, pre 1998. They're not as "cheap" as the runout cars.

They did a couple of runs of multiplexed cars. I have read about early series 2 multiplexed cars, and then some fo the very late ones are multiplexed. Luckily that 2000 XM I have isn't.

I would hate a multiplexed XM, that would make fault finding even more fun, and make the first batch of XMs look positvely reliable!

I have read about them on Planete Citroen the odd time.

I think they have automatic wipers and stuff like that and memory functions for the electric seats.

I don't think UK XMs ever had auto wipers?

Odd that, seeing as S2 Xantias had them.
French is best.
