My Blue Boat

Managed to sneak a few photos this afternoon, but the light was going and when connecting my camera to the PC I realised I'd left the polarising filter in, meaning the pics have a slightly ethereal quality to them. The bottom of the car is actually reflecting the ground (it's clean, honest) but the effect is to make it look dirty

Anyway









The rubberised grip round the steering wheel just proves what an old codger I've become... its prior owner had it fitted to aid him gripping the rim of the wheel, I like it because it's quite comfortable when floating about one-handed! Best value car I've had.

Nice colour too. Strange the affect light has on colour, a photo' in a sales brochure I have shows an Xm in that colour but a trick of the light makes the panelling under the rubbing strip look black. The two-tone effect makes the car look almost regal!

...or like an old Vauxhall Cavalier or a Rover 400/800...

mind, there won't be many of them around now! (Thankfully )

I like the blue Phil - could it even in passing be called 'navy' blue;
that'll match the current 'ride'

Wow, i really like that blue.
The whole car looks totally unmarked.........very nice

On the first picture, the polarising filter appears to leave an impression that you sandblasted your passenger side windows!

Nice car! I am partial to non-dark colours for the XM, but this one does look good. Is that a wood steering wheel?

I like that blue!

Very nice - lovely colour and a lot cleaner than mine.

Was your motor originally registered to Citroen UK? The reason I ask is that my 2.1TD was originally a 'management' car with reg no R544HKV.

Well spotted Ken

My local Citroen franchise asked the same question. Yes, it was originally a CUK car.

I was wondering if you were going to post up a few pictures.

Nice colour, and pin stripe! Is the blue met. blue?

It does look very clean indeed, imaculate. You need to lose that wheel cover though!

Citroenmad,

I think you will find that is what is called a go faster stripe that bit of tape gives you an extra 15bhp

D

The steering wheel cover deducts 15bhp so I'm even

Wow really!

I think i could do with that, maybe some nice black stripes down the roof and bonnet too, should give me an extra 25bhp!



No but really, a very nice Xm

I would certainly be very proud of it

A very good looking car in a not often seen colour-really suits the car and that lower half 'mirror like' effect!
