Whichever car you take, don't forget to bring back double helpings of bread pudding!!!

Excellent! Look forward to seeing the photos of the journey home. -
We can cover you for that weekend instead, not a problem.

Great to see it out and about still. If the recent warm* weather is going to become a thing, did you know this car had dealer-fit A/C? Probably ran out of gas ages ago, but could be worth recommissioning...

With a Dougie Donnelly action figure?
-
Why not email the museum and ask? Worst thing they can do is not tell you. My guess is they would be very happy to oblige with the information. In return, you can provide some more history of the vehicle.

The Orlando Auto Museum has a Model 70 also: https://www.orlandoautomuseum.com/sales/vehicles/3055/1977-ac-invacar

Co-incidentally, the collection does include an ex-Maenofferen slate quarry 'manrider', a wagon with angled seats (now long gone) designed to carry a team of slate quarry workers up and down inclines to access worksites, but it's 22" gauge and the Snowdon line is 600mm, so it won't quite fit!

You have the internal rear window! Not seen one of those for ages!
-
We're not custodians of a Thema, I'm afraid, but a Trevi and a Gamma. I think there are a couple of Thema owners on here though...

A quick glance at the word 'Average' on the MPG readout and I thought it said 'Awesome'... which it is, rather, considering the size and weight of the car! Hope the rest of the journey home goes just as well and just as frugal!

Has he been able to find the chassis number yet, so you can work out which one it is?

Great to see the MOT pass and congratulations on getting it back on the road! Why not try it out for the summer and bring it to a few Citroen shows, also come to the FoD! if you haven't bonded with it by the early Autumn, then it will have been 'out and about' and both it and you will have become more visible in the XM enthusiasts' circles and will be more of a 'known quantity' should you then want to sell it. It is a lovely colour, by the way.

Is this the kind of thing you want? If so, it looks like it is sold in a standard 8' length and then you can have it cut to size for shipping. As such, you could measure what you need and have the overall length cut into multiple sections of the right length or multiple sections of twice the required length etc. Given that there are a few other Model 70s about that may need the same item, then the overall length of 8' may cover two or three vehicles and the owners of these could chip in to assist with the overall cost... https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/products/852-sliding-window-wipe-strip

Yes please!

If you keep heading south, you can call in at the FoD when you have collected it!

I had an errand to run this morning, 40 miles away and I took the XM because I wanted to drive a car that looked like a spaceship and rode like a magic carpet... They are well worth the time and effort to look after them. The items on the MOT list don't look bad and once they are done, you won't have to worry about them again...

Auto and plush XM seats are for winners! You'll love driving it. Our petrol auto XM has been out and about this past week on trailer towing duty and it just rides and tows like a dream. @Andyrew gave it a valet and it now looks like a million Euros of car... from10 feet away!
