Hi All..
Well, I'm bracing myself for prehaps a VERY brave purchase. I have located a V6 24v Series 1 V6 XM. Its a 1991 H reg. Its Graphite Grey in colour. Has had a full recent exhaust fitted (Thank god), had a replace ment engine from a 1992 car with a crap body, and has had the modified heads done. IE: Cams etc, you know what I mean. It has 106,000 miles on it, and a stampped history to 76k. Its had oil changes every 6000k from 76 to 106 k. I REAL enthusiasts car. I'm also getting a spare engine (not so good cams and followers) and Box (belevied to be good with no noises) with the car. I CANT WAIT !!! .......................... Of course, If I haven't lost my license after the first week or so, and I decide to keep it, I will of course LPG it, need to so I can afford to run it, my 1992 V6 12 Valve on LPG will be up for grabs!. Price to be with held untill I secure it!! Location also!! (Does anyone know exactly how many 24's are in UK? We think we have found 4 so far between us) Regards citroenxm -------------------- 1993 K Reg 3.0 V6 12 Valve Auto (Green) LPG S1.5 SORNd

Gongrats citroenxm, you should definitely have it! After all, why do you say it's a brave purchase? It's just another XM, with a slightly different engine which is perhaps a bit rare, but, with the internet, there are solutions for everything nowdays...and I guess, having owned XMs in the past, you already have the appropriate circle of contacts to seek help should you need it.
Good luck! George -------------------- XM '94 V6 12v, manual, Diravi - Mark "1.5" in black - bought: 138,000mls now: 167,000 miles

Hi jorgy9
Brave as far as my license goes!. 200bhp through a 5 speed manual box! I had a Black V6 12 valve for a short time, and that was extreamilly rapid compared to the Auto. My auto seems more like a 2 litre between 0 and 80 mph, but after 80mph it winds up to a good 140mph!!!!! But no good round here. I guess the 24v will be "Fun" with a capital F. The ONLY thing it has NOT got compared to my 12 valve is cruise! I will miss that. But look forward to seeing some Boy racers with Pea shooter exhausts in my rear view mirror!
