Hi
I'm new to the club, I want to know if there were any factory LHD 260's made? And for sale at the moment? I've tried searching various sites without success so far.
I moved from the UK recently and can only have a LHD car, always wanted a V8 MG and can now afford to run one as an everyday vehicle.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Scott

Yes, there are a number of factory LHD vehicles around Scott but you haven't put a location so it's difficult to be more precise about what might be available and where.

The brand-new LHD V8 was (maybe still is) a Rover 75 V8 saloon (so automatic), for sale in the Netherlands. In France there are currently two LHD MG 260s for sale, a saloon in Burgundy (see http://www.lacentrale.fr/auto-occasion-annonce-20493697.html ) at 18K euros and a virtually new estate in the Savoie at 32K euros (see http://deltasavoie.com/ and search for MG). The estate was sold off when MG Rover Italy was liquidated and was bought by this ex MGR dealer, who also has what I believe to be the only MG SV in France. Good luck!

It's always nice to help enthusiasts out on this site but I can never understand why it is that you (Scott RW) would ask for help/information and then not bother to visit the site to view the replies, strange but true.

Have a look at the first one BRG I think at 16999 but flick through the pictures and you will see it has a very nice leather dash with powered by Mustang inlay

Thanks, I knew I'd seen one somewhere, just couldn't remember what it was, or where it was! :confused:
