    Default #073

    Hi folks,

    Ive been looking at getting a 260 for some time and I'm interested in buying #073. I've searched on this forum and saw it was briefly mentioned for sale about 3 years ago, but does anyone else have any information about this car and what sort of life it has had?

    cheers,
    Rich

    Don't know where you got that info from Richard, I do know the car is based on the south coast.

    Yep, that's the one on the south coast. I believe it is #073 and was mentioned in a thread on here from Jan 2012, posts 16-17....
    https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f...r-modification

    The old link to preloved.co.uk is no longer active so can't confirm though. I know it's a 53 plate SE model in monogram garnet red.

    ive had some email discussion with the current owner and seen a few photos, but it would be nice to know some history of the car before I travel to see it, if anyone knows anything?

    The present owner is a member on here.

    No history (apart from the reference to the for sale advert you have already found) known about #073.

    I'm just outside Stafford. I regularly see a nice Poseidon 260 around the Stafford Hospital area and it makes me want one every time I see/hear it!
