260s for sale in France

[Julianp]

With only a dozen or so 260s and Rover 75 V8s ever registered in France, it's very unusual for any to be for sale. And then, like the number 13 bus, three come along at once! If you are looking for a 260 in France right now, there are three cars about:
- A red estate (ZT-T), effectively new, with only 400kms recorded, at the dealer Delta Savoie in Chambéry: see http://www.lacentrale.fr/auto-occasion-annonce-16833495.html
- a chromatic saloon, possibly the 2004 Paris Motor Show car, reported on the French MG Rover community site as being on sale at a dealership near Macon: see http://www.rovermg-france.com/index.php?topic=41790.0
- And, sadly, my own car which will be available next month (June) through Soupizet (www.soupizet.fr) in Le Mans. An XPower Grey saloon, in top condition with many extras
Let me know if you wish to know more about any of these cars.
Julian.

Julian - you should buy the red ZT-T and join a very exclusive club - the non-grey ZT-T 260s! :-)

Another 260 has come up for sale in France, a black saloon. Details of this, the red estate and the saloon I mentioned before at http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/offres/ile_de_france/occasions/?f=a&th=1&q=mg+zt+260.

Aren't you slightly tempted to buy the Euro 15000 one :)

:) Never say never Julian

Well, I am still lurking here, so haven't quite weened myself off my V8 addiction yet ... If any of them, I'd go for the lower mileage saloon at 19,500 euros (that price should be negotiable - it's been on sale since the spring) which I think may have been the 2004 Paris Motor Show car. But no, not just now :-)

I am glad that you are still lurking and still posting Julian :thumb

Another update for anyone looking for a LHD car. The blue saloon in Macon has been reduced in price to 18K euros. And Daniel Saive has been in touch from Belgium; he is looking to sell his ZT-T 260 in order to free up some garage space. He has several other MG and Rover cars, including a 75 CDTi 100th Anniversary saloon as his daily driver and a Rover BRM. His ZT-T 260 has only done 43.000 km and he describes it as being in excellent condition. I have encouraged Daniel to post here, but otherwise I am happy to put anyone who is interested in touch with him.

Here's the link to the ad for Daniel's blue ZT-T: http://fr.autoscout24.be/Details.aspx?id=220612960&cd=634830637770000000. Ignore the mileage at the top which he's trying to get fixed (one zero too many). You'd need shares in BP to do 435,000 km in a 260!
