    Default The Return! (again)

    Chaps!

    Hope everyone is keeping well?

    After what is a 5 year hiatus, I'm scanning the ad's for another nice 260 (or 75).
    I really miss the Bittersweet one I sadly binned!

    So the criteria is monogram; low miles and well cared for.

    I see most of you boys have been working the piggy bank hard and actually gone ahead with the Supercharger install.
    Are there any reviews on this?...!

    I've taken the 101 route and directly messaged a few guys to see if i can tempt them. One I can't get old of ('Thunderbird') and the other isn't for turning! (Mr Newey!)

    Anyway, fingers crossed!

    Steve

    Cheers Colin!

    I need to get up to speed with the latest/best exhaust options too. I used to like the old X-Powers. Anything out there to trump this? Criteria: loud with some snap, crackle and pop

    Hi Stu

    Yes I did clock your one is the ads list! I think the mileage & accident damage is a bit off-putting for the price; but it sounds like you've looked after it really well! Looks like Colin is a massive fan of the car too

    What BHP does it make - do you know? Isn't the pulleys/uprated cam/filters a 320bhp upgrade?

    Heya Steve

    Well tbh the accident damage i nedent have put as it's all of a solid repair but encase anyone came across pictures of the car with gaping hole in the front, it's best to be honest. Though it is on offer, but yeah heh a few people are with hearing it and stuff too

    It makes if i remember rightly circa 300bhp from the old RR print outs in the car (cold and rainy at the mo will dig them out)

    Hey Pete

    Yes - that was for sale on here last year. Been well maintained that one. For me, mirage is lovely but not a true monogram colour. I see my old Poseidon one has come back for sale on Autotrader!

    You don't get so much crackle from the exhaust with a S/c installed. But it does bark . Noticed you have been stalking more frequently
