Hello all

Just a quick hello on the forum. Today ive bought a 260 SE (pics up soon).

From what the previous owner told me it was originally MG/Rovers press car, but I have yet to find any further details of this online.

Ive been a MG/Rover fan for a long time, Ive had all the Zeds, plus a R25 GTI.

Its got very few miles on so im only going to use it through the summer months, it will be safely stored away from the elements.

Thanks
Alex

Its a Saloon in X-power grey, VIN is SARRXGLGB3D000030.

Bought it from a guy in Norwich, lovely condition, full MG Owners Club service history too. Ive wanted one for a while.

Just a ZS180 and a ZR160 to add to the collection now, better save up a bit first though.

Hi Alex, welcome to the collective

When you first registered, you'll have received a questionnaire from Tim, get it filled in and return it to Tim and a whole world of information will open up to you

Oh and you'll also have access to the club shop

Cheers

Nice one Alex! I bought mine last summer and it too has full MGOC service history. If you can't get it looked after locally to where you live at least it is an easy drive to Swavesey for a service.
