Hello and any info on this car?

Hello all

I've always liked 260s, and ever since owning an SD1 I thought it would be nice to own the younger, more modern sibling! Well the opportunity has now arisen to buy a comfortable but quick saloon and unsuprisingly the 260 is on my short list

I'm hoping to go look at a local car later in the week, which is a 2006 registered model in quite basic spec. Just wondering if the car was known to the club or whether anyone has any opinions on it? The car is question is this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160704647770

It's perhaps not the ideal spec, but as it's so close to me and the seller is willing to consider a deal with my current car it's very convenient and therefore attractive!

As an aside, I dont suppose anyone has driven both a 260 and a Jag S Type R or Vauxhall Monaro and is willing to make any comparisons? These 3 cars are at the top of my list so I'm interested to here people's views.

Many thanks

Carl

Hello Carl and welcome along. If you can get the vin I'll have a look.

Only thing to watch with that car is it falls into the higher tax bracket due to being registered in 2006

Yeah I had noticed that. Not ideal, but since I'm downsizing from a daily driver plus a 'hobby car' to one all rounder it works out pretty much the same across a year. Thats how I'm justifying it to myself anyway!

I'll see if I can get the VIN when I view it.

Thanks
