it's my second :/ You'd think I'd have learnt the first time. That being said, it's not a DD so I can dip in and out of it as needed.

Needs a service and I suspect fuel filter but apart from that everything works. including the heated and electric reclining rear seats and lane departure warning which, for a car of that age (designed in the 90s) is not bad going

Jesting about formatting aside, how is it?
Running well?
Which engine/trim?

It had been sat for quite some time, the owner having had a serious injury and now unable to drive it. It had been looked after by a good friend of his, but the decision was taken to sell it.

It's a 2.7 Exclusive with Lounge Pack (heated seats front and back, and electric reclining rear seats) and lane-departure warning which vibrates the driver's seat as you change lanes if you're not indicating. Finished in Mauritius Blue with cream Wadibis leather and wood trim,

It has been remapped, although I have no idea to what and for what benefit.

It is overdue a service and I got the depollution light come on although with the Lexia I can see an error for the fuel filter and they CAN cause the depollution error so fingers crossed that's all it is. It did drive all the way from Southampton to St Neots without any issues, and almost all of the expensive stuff that can go wrong has already been fixed

Ride is sublime as you'd expect.

Reading through the documentation included, it goes right back to the original purchase receipt and all work done since then for the previous owners. Interestingly it was a Citroen Glasgow owned vehicle so I suspect their demo car, in which case my dad probably drove it before buying his own C6 new when they first came out. Serendipity?
