Bugger - sorry to hear you've decided to sell
Time to buy a lottery ticket methinks
Whoever gets this car will be very very lucky
That is a true shame linden.
i dont use her enough and dont have the space,she has so many new parts i may as well let some other lucky person have the pleasure of her ownership,
bloody massive huge wrench for me though i have not decided this in a light hearted manner .
also i will advise on the huge amount of spares that are available or may go with the car .
cheers
Lovely colour, will be a great car for someone.
What's the mileage?
So sorry to hear this mate.
.... and every time we bring ours to you for a service you will be thinking, oh how I wish I hadn't.
We'll just have to drop our cars off with a full tank and pick em up with erm , just had to do a road test mate !!!!!
Sad to hear this but good luck with the sale.
sorry to see you selling, the car is a real credit to you
May be interested in some of the spares
:cool:
Was it winning top car at Brooklands that did it Linden, can only win it again. Whats the saying. "Got to be in it to win it".
Sorry to see you wanting to sell. Though purple, will always be a spot here for you.
NOOOOOooooooo
I havent been up to see the beast yet, you can't sell yet :(

I think thats too cheap Linden. But then again I would. It will make someone very happy. Come on chaps take a risk. buy Lindens, sell yours and you may have a Supercharger for less than 5K!!!! Good luck Linden Im realy sorry you need to sell it.
If you had not done my Roush earlier this year Linden I would be round with the cash at that price tomorrow. Anyone after a top quality motor won't regret going for this one.
Good luck Linden
Was rather hoping you were going to have a change of heart,but as you seem serious and having seen your car it sure is a lot of car for the money,as you say almost a new car, I wish mine could boast a 1/4 of what you have undertaken and replaced surely labour costs alone factored in I reckon this would easily top the £20k mark,seems a lot for a 54 plate.... but is it...I rather think not,out of curiosity what would you be thinking of to replace it with?.
If I had the funds I'd be tempted but I'd be worried I could not maintain it to Lindens standards
You give, note I say give not loan, me the funds and I'll see what I can do
it doesnt take much colin ,i did all this because i beleive in the 260 and if only mg-rover had not gone tits up then this would of been the best ever car made by them,
dont get me wrong i love the 260-obvisiosly or i would have not been involved like i have been,the car does not need the bollocks thrashing of it and does not deserve so either.
this car is an example of a wonderfull motor car that i have taken further to end up with a truley one off example,i can see the reasons mg developed this car and totally 100 per cent admire the limited technology and budget they had.
i am very upset about parting with this utterly beautiful car,words cant explain how gutted i am ,but its not being used and needs to go,its needs to go to a nut case like me
sorry for letting the side down
I dont have the dosh either, if I did I would be considering it too!
Linden, please don't think that you are letting the side down. That is far from the truth.
I hope once it has sold that you don't become a stranger on here or at gatherings.
You and your car are an inspiration to us all.
Like others, if I had the funds i would be very very tempted :thumb

Isnt there something else you can sell!!!!!
Hi mate how you doing any news on the sale? Wish i had some extra dosh i would sell mine and buy yours in a heart beat. Take care mate
