Wow 8-) That's absolutely gorgeous :-D Ticks a good few boxes does that!

With car, bike rescue and house insurance to pay this month, I'll not be quite able to afford it :cry:

The LPG set up would worry me, I recall British Gas adapting a fleet of Ford Transits with it, they all came through the motor auctions as 'non runners' with very few miles on the clock, bought by the traders and converted back to petrol/diesel with engines from the breakers.

That XM Multimedia is tempting :) The only production XM and there were few, LHD only, to be painted in that lovely shade of red...

Decent name for the colour too "Rouge d'enfer nacre" . the literal translation of individual words would appear to be "Red of Hell Mother of Pearl ":-D

The FCF does have an interesting thread entitled Citroen XM Multimedia and other early IT in Cars

Does anyone in 2024 have enough of a curious gene to find out a bit more about it... :?: :?: :?:
The link is here should you wish click it if you do...
