    Default Left Hand Drive 260?

    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-occasi...-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!
