1999 Citroen XM 3.0V6 24v Exclusive

I'd like to think my XM is one of the best, in the UK. I have had it since early 2021, after buying it from a guy who had owned it since "nearly-new" (Citroen themselves being the first owner) and looked after it impeccably for 22yrs. I then used it as my daily driver and have done ever since, putting 25K on the clock. The mileage now is still ridiculously low though, at just 57K!
Work done in my ownership:
Serviced every year (including new steering rack gaiters, front brake discs and pads).
All spheres checked & replaced if needed by Pleides in 2023.
Blaupunkt Bremen DAB and Bluetooth retro-look stereo fitted (over £500) in coin tray space (coin tray still with car), and looks great/ in-keeping, but can also be hidden, if wanted, by the wooden flip panel.
NOTE: Original radio is still present but was disconnected for the Blaupunkt. It was working at time of disconnection. CD changer is original also & present under passenger seat (this was also working prior to being disconnected).
Any paintwork issues/ stone chips etc have always been addressed, whenever they occurred, at a professional workshop.
Recent top up done to underseal.
Michelin cross climates all round.
Full stainless steel system fitted (cost £1K).
The body and Mauritius blue paintwork are nothing short of amazing. Almost without fault. Ever so slight "line" visible (when at an angle in the light) in the paintwork of one rear door (caused by a bar inside the door I'm told, but I don't know & haven't felt the urge to address it, as it definitely doesn't detract from the overall, almost immaculate presentation of the car).
Alloys are original, centreless hub ones, and pristine.
AC climate control works perfectly, as do the electric windows, seat adjusters, heated seats (front and rear), electric armrest, and all other electric bits n pieces.... Including the fantastic tilt and slide sunroof! (which does not leak)
However, the cruise control does not work.
When I got the car, there was an intermittent starting issue, which was quickly pinpointed to the auto box inhibitor relay. My mechanic used a short, spaded wire to bypass the relay (which cured the starting issue 100% - the car has NEVER let me down since, in 25K miles) whilst I looked for a new relay but after initially having difficulty finding one, I never bothered in the end. Note: the cruise control is part of this circuit which MAY be the reason why it has never worked in my ownership, I don't know. Luckily, cruise control has never been something I use.
Issues for any prospective buyer (in addition to no cruise control):
Central locking works on 3 doors (the rear driver's side door needs locking/ unlocking manually) although occasionally you have to do it from the passenger side for some reason (it is a Citroen after all!).
The plip stopped working after I changed the batteries in the fob, so it might need reprogramming or something. I got bored trying to do it (or find the problem) and don't mind using the key manually, so this would be a job for the new owner.
The roof aerial works perfectly but aesthetically could do with replacing due to some "fraying."
Interior is in superb condition (including the headlining). Unbelievably comfortable cream leather seats. Hairline crack in the handle of the gear shift lever. Cream carpets with thick rubber mats. Purpose-built plastic rear tray in the boot.
MOT just passed with no advisories! Expires 18th March 2026.

Lots of receipts & history with car (plus workshop/ spec info). As mentioned, the "2nd" owner bought it almost new from Citroën in 1999 & kept it, (with no expense spared & a load of receipts) until selling it to me in 2021.
This has been my daily driver for 4yrs now, and tbh, I never thought I'd sell it, but the bucket list of cars I have to own isn't going down, so I need to sell the current car before I can replace with another from my list (eg a CX, RR Silver Spirit, SD1, Lotus Esprit S2-3 etc).
I'm also selling my classic mini at the same time with plans to pool the money for my new classic.
Situated near Melton Mowbray, the car is ready for any trial.
