Hello

[Passion xm]

Hello to all,

I appear my name is Christophe, I am 44 years old, I am married and the dad of five magnificent children.

I have for passion Citroën XM and it is for it that now two years ago I created PASSION XM.

We are situated in FRANCE, to BRETAGNE near VANNES.
I possess seven XM, a former ambulance in D12, a TCT, one 2 liters injection, one V6 12 automatic, a break in TD 12, two TD 12. They are also my "children"...

Voila for my small presentation.

Best regards

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

It was reassuring to know that I am not the only one who goes to excess and you own more children and XMs than me!!! Our base is Norfolk in the UK and we have three children and I recently acquired my sixth XM, a 1990 V6 12v.

A warm welcome to the Club.

Regards,

Matthew T.

Hello Matthew

First of all excuse my English it is far from being completed...
In fact I too the last XM whom I bought is one V6 1, magnificent car!

I am going to try to cross you some photos if I can...



















Best regards

What a splendid lineup! I can only manage two XMs (the youngest a 2000 model V624v) and five kids (the youngest a 1963 model and sadly not a V6 ). But I can also boast of six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren!.

Come to think of it, I prefer my V6 - it's quieter and less trouble.

Bonjours Derek,

My children are still too small so that I have children. My ainé has 9 years old and the youngest 3-year-old.

You are well right the XM gives us fewer concerns than our children. But I could not do either without the one or without the other one.

Good day and thank you for your message so nice.

Christophe

Bonjour Christope-and welcome-thank you for posting your collection of XM, I especially like the the 1st model in pale green-I've not seen that colour here in the UK.

Regards,

Alan.

Hello Henry,

In fact this color is the " VERT amendier ". Its color code is: ERH. It was available on the sale of the XM only from 1989 till 1992. It is so a little for it that we do not see too often. In fact I saved this car for only 250 euro!

Best regards

Christophe

Christophe, I'm sure that my 1st XM-a 2l itre TCT- had that same code but the colour looked very different. Good to hear that you managed to rescue that one!

Regards,

Alan.

Here is an extract of the file of the codes colors which we have in France. And ERH is good for us the green to amendier. Would he have differences between the codes France and those of the export? That I do not know it.

Salut Christophe!

Yes, the colors are not called the same. For example, mine is the "Vert Vega Nacre" in french, and it's called "Emerald Green Pearlescent" in the UK. However the factory code remains the same -ERY-.

cheers

Hi Christophe,

It was great to see your line up of cars and other photos that were really impressive and my eye too was caught by the early light green model - your V6? I wish I had the space to park all my cars together!!

The light green here is very rare as others have stated and known as Onyx. By coincidence I recently saw a 1991 2.0sei model in Onyx for sale at our local Wolsey House Motors with only 15,000 miles (24,500 km approx.) that was immaculate.

With regards,

Hi Christophe,

That's a very nice collection up you have.

Best wishes.

Hello Matthew,

The limited series "ONYX" was thrown at the same time as the limited series "PALLAS" in exemplary 1500 only (in 1993). They are effectively XM to save because they are going to become rather rare....

Thank you Steve for your compliment, it is true that the XM I am crazy about it... But I also have a LEADING BX phase 1.

Best regards

Christophe

Hello Christophe,

We also had the limited edition ONYX model here in the UK around the same time, although the colour of the same name was used earlier as you have stated, which is all rather confusing!!

With regards,

Matthew T.
